Why are you defending him? He infected potentially thousands of people with malware to make a quick buck.
That he reluctantly reverted the change only when people noticed and called him out on it is not particularly honourable or worthy of praise.
What features of Ghidra do you find lacking?
I've only recently started using it, after being an IDA user for many, many years, and would be interested to know in advance where it falls short, in comparison with IDA or just generally.
Don't worry about it, you'll be long dead by then.
I read all that and I still don't see what the purpose of this is.
Holding gender critical beliefs isn't at all similar to racism.
With racism, the racists are denying other people's humanity, based on race. That ideology centres around the notion of a group of humans being somehow subhuman.
This isn't the case with 'terfs' - they're not denying or diminishing anyone's humanity, they're simply saying that whether you're a woman or a man is determined by your biological sex, rather than a proclaimed gender identity.
I think you may well be right, though it's hard to say just how many trans people aren't on board with these controversial ontological claims of gender identity activism - perhaps in part because those who speak out against it get accused of 'internalized transphobia' and such, and relentlessly bullied by the activists.
Thanks, it's good to know that you're considering alternatives.
As you have a number of people with ADHD working on your app, I would be curious to know if any of them raised concerns about these specifics of your subscription model, during planning and development of the app?
Thanks, I appreciate your response on this, but I'd be interested in your thoughts on the following two points specifically:
- Why have you chosen to make users opt out of a subscription when the free trial ends, rather than letting them opt in?
- Why is the annual payment option pushed so hard, in favour of the monthly payment option?
I'm reiterating this because promoting an opt-in, monthly payment model (thus giving more opportunities for any unintentional ongoing payments to be noticed by the payer) seems to me to be the kindest approach to subscriptions for users with ADHD, and a model that would be most empathetic to their condition.
I just downloaded the Android app to check, and it's a similar ratio as you describe for the Apple app store: £19.99 per month if paid monthly, but £7.17 per month (as £85.99 per year) if paid annually.
And on my phone at least, the monthly payment option is also hidden behind a scroll down action: https://i.imgur.com/rV0bMTH.jpg, with the yearly subscription already selected by default.
It would seem they're pushing quite strongly this annual payment option.
Many of the reviews of the Android app are quite critical of the trial and payment model, for example:
CAUTION: After the free trial period (7 days), they will charge for an annual subscription ($102.95 US). This is OPT OUT, not opt in. In other reviews they say they will offer a refund (I will update when/if I get one) but for an app for people with executive function issues, an opt out format seems shady. Either way, I won't be purchasing this for my loved one with the opt out format for payment.
They exploit the same vulnerability of the patients, they aim to cure! They take you in confidence and then charge you after the trial ends. ADHD folks forget things all the time and it's a challenge for them. An email reminder is not going to cut it. We have thousands of emails in our inbox. This is profiteering from the mental disability of others. Stay away. A pro-rata charge is a fairer policy for ADHD folks. Any ADHD book will be more useful for what is presented in this app anyway.
Requires payment to be set up to use free trial... Seems a bit predatory on a mental health app for ADHD brains... We tend to forget things like canceling memberships. And of course they only tell you once you have wasted time making an account. SMH
Why do you need a credit card to do a 7 day free trial? Why don't you take my card number if I want to continue after the 7 days? What if I forget to cancel, and forget to request refund? I see what you did there
Sounds like they're all making some very relevant points about the app payment model potentially exploiting the ADHD deficit in executive functioning, and the tendency of people with ADHD to unintentionally forget things like subscriptions and bill payments. How do you respond to these critiques?
Why checkboxes though? There are perfectly good ordinary pixels to do all this with.
We have something like that in the UK, it shows you all the legislation and tracks changes made to them over time: https://www.legislation.gov.uk
I think it was more because he'd replaced that murderous warmonger Bush, and came with a message of hope and peace that contrasted with his predecessor.
The fact that Obama also turned out to be a murderous warmonger just illustrates how it's better to judge people on their actions rather than their rhetoric.
Thank you for sharing, was looking for this.
If anyone needs to only download and not seed the torrent at all (to avoid potential copyright infringement action), there's a patch for libtorrent available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160625100706/citylight.thinkba....
I'm using this with the latest stable libtorrent and rtorrent releases and it's working great so far. Getting around 100 MB/s download rate from the swarm.
The irony there is that drag queens are appropriating womanhood for the purposes of mockery. They don't really have much ground to complain if women then appropriate a few make-up styles back.
It just goes to show how deeply the capitalist narrative dominates our entire society, that we have people defending this so earnestly.
What I really don't like about Defender and other antivirus products is they'll silently send your files to the mothership to be analyzed, without even letting you know that's happened, or any straightforward way to find out. I understand that's a large source of new malware samples for them, but it's an awful antiprivacy behavior.
