  • I mean, that’s kind of exactly what Hubspot is supposed to be used for? It’s a remarketing tool so at the most basic it’s good for advertising subs you may be interested in, at its worst it’s used by MBAs to justify destroying a platform to sell products to people with the guise of the information coming from fellow users, but is instead coming from bots and corporate accounts using your data to sell you products worse than the ones you wanted in the first place, eliminating the trusted environment to at Reddit once claimed to be all the while showing you subreddits you have absolutely no interest in.

    Makes sense to me!




  • “What should we do? Just PAY the developer for the feature? Nah, we’ll just continue to file lawsuits and eventually settle in the inevitable class action from buyers which will certainly not be more than what we would have spent just licensing it in the first place”

    Look, I’m not one for patent trolling, but this is pretty blatant on Apple’s end and as a Series 9 owner it’s annoying because it’s a feature I upgraded for that I’ll lose access to just because they don’t want to be told they’re wrong. Such corporate bullshit.







  • Honestly… this is kind of how that might happen? Defense spending and research has always been the vanguard of technological development and then it’s waylaid to private sector development and R&D.

    Once it’s proven effective they can then reverse engineer it to do something constructive.

    Because the US can’t be bothered to find non blow-uppy projects until later.
