    Good watch on this stuff, the recent court decision overall

    Dude’s so vindicated. Apple lover who HATES their treatment of developers cases like this.

  • Thanks. Wonder about reach—if a post there went viral somehow, if it would be allowed to run its natural course onto r/all

    Maybe so, such a small sub, might not have any “defenses” against it haha. hmm but suppose it could show in a trending sidebar at some point if they’re still doing that. Ah, guess we could test whether their threads ever get recommended when browsing similar threads on other subs.

  • Ya b/c it’s not plastered with ads, what’s even the point of this place if the advertisers haven’t swarmed it? :)

  • I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right?

  • When one reads the room (or the… sidewalk? the coffee shop?), is clever, and well groomed, and all that…

    It’s absolutely possible to speak to strangers in public regardless of whether they’re male or female or whatever. Furthermore, sometimes the immediate response is a positive one instead of a polite but obviously disinterested one.

    But oh my GOODNESS do we have to be careful not to be an undue burden on others! (Note some scenarios can’t be helped—people who are DEATHLY afraid of ANYONE talking to them ever are in a bad spot, sorry to those folks, but you may have to ignore a polite sentence from me before I apologize/quickly move on.)

    I don’t have good cold approach tips for random places in public, but in a nightclub, can be natural to follow this flow:

    • comment on venue
    • comment on artist
    • comment on the person (the person herself)

    Maybe it’s adaptable outside the clurb too.

    Do know it definitely helps out there if she has a dog. Only speaking to people when there’s a genuinely natural conversation starter, like a cute dog, is probably pretty safe. Maybe “Whoh did you get that hat from <boutique down the street?>” when you’re actually curious. Curiosity shines through, as does your lack of need for a specific outcome, and can lead to good engagement from someone you’ve made comfortable and perhaps who’s chuffed to have had their fancy accessory complimented. (‘Oh actually my friend made it!’ = nice)

    And maybe you’re already walking away as you’re talking, just making it so obvious how little a threat you are, how unlikely you are to be aggressive.

    We’re allowed to “be excellent to each other” and we’re allowed to get rejected. Nothing like a good rejection, LOVE knowing I tried. Finally hey, some of earth’s 8 billion inhabitants were married in modern times solely thanks to the guy reasonably approaching a stranger, and none of us could tell his wife she was wrong not to reject him (or that he was a jerk for saying hi).

    YOU GOT THIS!

    Kindly,

    brb

  • Oh nooooo

    So sorry those losers were not just losers but also abusers (no offense to good memories you have or good parts of them, if any, just covering my bases here b/c life’s complicated)

    Would you like to try to build back some confidence here? Elderly folks can be so very sweet (and/or lonely). Next time you’re at a crosswalk and see someone who couldn’t even suddenly dive at you fast enough to make physical contact, you could broach a conversation.

    stare at their phones

    Maybe we’d rather, but it’s kinda killing us at least in a sense

    tl;dr interrupting me when I’m on my phone is probably chill (maybe I’ll thank you, or excuse myself if I’m sending a work email/thing)

    “Ninja” edit: before folks come @ me for the phone interruption thing (for good reason), mainly advocating for building up those small talk skills that abusers hampered through NO fault of your own

  • I think the vibe is kind of “works for grandma out of the box“, “someone in the small-but-mighty dev community made an [open-source] app for that”

    Yeah frustrates me too but seeing it as a kind of culture would probably help me be less frustrated

    Then Apple gets tiny bits of occasional flak for Sherlocking

  • If you move to SF you’ll have to learn credit card fraud

    (not all SF^, and in SF it’s only certain neighborhoods that do this)

    Especially if they play this hand

    hmm I guess nobody reading here today would ever steal for fun, just out of necessity (b/c otherwise this security escalation is annoying: lots of waiting, maybe fine by me but not overworked/mobility impaired folks etc)

    Anyway, learned that liquor stores in India might operate exclusively with this method!

    PS: UBI when!!
