Haha exactly. People shop at Walmart because they work at target and don't make enough money to shop at Whole Foods.

I never gave them a chance because their name screamed: scammy site designed to lure old people into file taxes there.

But last year someone on here or reddit kicked off a thread and tons of people were singing it's praises.

So I checked it out after TurboTax was trying to charge me like $230 to do my taxes.

It was easier than TurboTax and I got the same numbers at the end, so I decided to go with them. I ended up spending $10 or something for the ability to refile amendments later or something. Honestly, I wanted to give them some money because I want them to stick around.

It was a great experience. I'll be using them moving forward.

Which is why steam went whole hog into proton development for the steam deck. It's brilliant strategy. Suddenly their game catalog is immediately available on the device. So users can play games they already own and will have access to hundreds of others day one.

I was intrigued but I didn't want to invest in it because of Google's history of killing great products.

They have some great tools for their cloud platform but at this point, I wouldn't go all in on any new product of theirs.

Because then the devs go under and you can't milk them for more money over time?

I'm not defending them, but why the fuck would they want to shut down developers? That just doesn't make sense.

The Ukraine stuff has nothing to do with it.

It's the feds attempts to wrangle inflation (caused by dumping trillions into the economy during COVID)by hiking interest rates. Companies with barely profitable or even unprofitable business models used to be able to borrow money at stupid cheap interest rates. Now that it's 7-8% they realize they have to figure something out.

It was this silicon valley "trade profits for scale and then we'll figure it out later" approach. That only works when cheap loans could float you until you hit scale or figured something out.

But in Unity's case I think it's partially that (they aren't profitable), but partially related to the stuff apple is releasing and doing lately.

I think unity is trying to get in front of a possible boom in Mac and apple gaming. Charge dev $.20 per install so you insure you get a piece of every game install and avoid a confrontation with Apple about app store rates.

I don't disagree with you, but that's what "having principles" , "being brave", "having honor", "defending the constitution", "having integrity", etc is.

It's standing up for what's right. What's just. The truth. Even when it might put you at odds with your party.

Any time a Republican ever calls anyone a coward or "spineless" we need to remind them of how they turned into absolute pussies during this era.

Pretty sure that's how it works everywhere.

Kemp has said that he would support Trump if he wins the 2024 Republican presidential nomination

Wtf is wrong with these people.

My wife and I couldn't afford to live in our own neighborhood if we were looking to buy now. We bought in 2019.

The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more. The admin followed up even if the media fell off. They also just raised the construction workers minimum wages on federal contracts.

Did you ask him to take the blinders off because you wanted a second set for yourself?

Bro, Elon gutted Twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the right people to get this information. I wonder if it sat in a mailbox for a day before they even had someone look at it.

Twitter isn't a well run company anymore. This could be pure incompetence.
