Probably because it has a lot more to regret, maybe? I mean, it is a goal in life to live your life so that you never have to regret more than not having that second slice of pizza. sighs Too late for me.
Or maybe the pink bird has a lot to regret, but is too stupid to ever understand, and the brown bird feels sorry for them.
Wow, what philosophy is hidden in a seemingly simple meme. There really is something to think about here. Unfortunately, as a non-english speaker, it is difficult for me to understand the meaning of some memes. Thanks for the clarification.
I would argue that scrolling through fresh memes on Risa(@startrek.website) while on the toilet is the pinnacle of living in the moment. Particularly at work.
PSA: Features are never prioritized for users. Features are prioritized for the paying customer.
This is such a naive mistake to make. This is why the freemium business model is doomed to shitty products, and explains pretty much why the Internet economy is in the sorry state that it is. If you don’t pay for the service (regardless of your preferred economic stance, either directly or through taxes) you have absolutely no right to complain.
Windows features are not prioritized for those paying customers who bought licenses, but linux features are prioritized for non-paying linux users.
The real answer is that for profit companies develop features to maximize their profits. User-prioritized features are only added to the extent that they draw and maintain customers. Outside of that, companies don’t care if you’re happy or not, regardless of how much you’ve paid.
I was with you until this. This is the kind of handwaving devs use to shield themselves from criticism for idiotic choices. There’s “you’re not entitled to support or to have your requests taken seriously if you aren’t supporting development” and there’s “don’t you dare voice a negative opinion on anything I’ve done”.
I’ve lost count of how many slack or discord channels I’ve been in where devs seem to take basic feedback as a personal attack.
Even paying customers aren’t guaranteed feature priority. Have you even seen Windows outside of EU markets? You pay well over $100 for a license, and they shove a wheelbarrow’s worth of ads and data extraction up your ass. See also: the cableification of streaming services. (EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about Adobe!)
The Internet Economy doesn’t need a freemium model to be shit. In fact some of the worse SaaS I interact with on a daily basis is also extremely expensive.
It’s got everything to do with misaligned financial incentives already plaguing traditional markets (pursuit of infinite growth, short term thinking, etc.) compounded by how quick and easy software is to change and update which yields very high feature bloat and a much faster cycle of enshittification.
I would recommend to also include the link to the source (I edited the comment with a link to the original artist’s post). But I’m not a mod, so it’s just a suggestion :).
Ah yea I agree. I’ve been relying on the link that comes with the browser extension but miss it when that doesn’t happen. I appreciate you adding it and I’ll try to be better about it :)
