I was going to answer, but your comment doesn't actually have anything coherent to respond to. Sigh, probably the point in that I am responding to an AI troll.

FFS, reading two sentences in makes that headline out to be the ridiculous clickbait it is. Slashdot, please do better.

Pretty much that, F those guys.

The article omits this part of Apple's TOS, "However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase."

Hate defending them since they should 100% allow this, but since the tip is associated with the content received, it does meet the criteria in their TOS. And allowing the tip on their profile page is OK. If they allow the app to mention that they can tip from that page that seems like it should be legit. But the teachers can also verbally mention it I would think, "Comment, like and subscribe".

Still bullshit, though.

Never even heard of it or seen it.

I read it. It hurt my brain with the absolute stupidity of it.

I use the buttons on the steering wheel for those so I don't even have to take my hands off the wheel.

Lol, so someone needs to explain the difference between "service" and "maintenance"?

Which is why these "surveys" are useless.

That's why I love how people complain all the time about Tesla's in particular. Because they have clearly never driven one. All of those things can be done from the steering wheel controls.

I'm just glad my car has automatic climate controls and spotify so I don't have to do either of those things.

Right? They are not "pretty" but I don't mistake them for square brackets...ever. And I don't need pretty in my IDE I need productive.

I signed up for lemmy but even I will say it's just a hair too complex for 99% of the internet users out there. Just the idea that you can get "most" of the communities ("subreddits") and you have to sign up for the same thing on different servers. And get approved? Like where do I sign up? Not lemmy dot com, but lemmy.eatabagofdicks.virus?

I mean, reddit can go away for all I care and I went ahead and deleted every link I had to them and my account, but it's not like anyone is going to take their place, same as mastadon isn't replacing twitter, etc. I'll just use it as motivation to surf and waste time less.

OMG, who could actually make an alternative...forum? Is there anything special about Reddit except the volume of users?

OK, Spez...
