They’re both fucking awful. The everything-is-hustle angle is garbage.

I don’t want people trying to figure out the optimal ratio of low but not too low effort posts to get paid turning everyone into a shill. Chasing karma was bad enough. People chasing money will be worse and less valuable.

Just like Twitter, when everyone is monetizing their posts everything will go to shit.

That’s quite an indictment.

I think the issue is they’ll have to do much more work to get to those stores if they become remotely popular as a vector for bypassing censorship.

The minute people are using f-droid at scale to bypass controls and censorship, f-droid is going to get firewalled if it isn’t already.

China isn’t on the open internet. It’s a game of whack-a-mole for them, but they’re pretty good at it and throw a lot of bodies at this.

The average user won’t be jumping through the hoops required to make this work.

I don’t think you’ve got it here bub. All effort does deserve praise. If your kid tried their best in an audition and is a tree and they continue to try despite it not being what they want either, then you praise them for trying so hard to be an awesome tree.

If your kid isn’t trying, you aren’t praising effort anyway.

Maybe there’s 5 kids that excel at drama in their 1st grade class. Who knows why. But if they tried and are a tree, so be it.

I stopped using zipcar a decade ago after a car they rented to me had an expired registration. Sounds like they still haven’t quite figured their shit out.

This is it. The weakest part of most doors is the door. A sledge hammer will go through a door or window regardless of the lock.

Smart locks are way more convenient and the ability to grant timed access and unique access controls probably makes them more secure.
