  • I was member as well so I AM your ilk, the coop had MILLIONS of members. IIRC from the last few disclosures less than 1% ever voted on anything.

    I bet if you banded together even 10k worth of people to vote a certain way you could have swayed ANY of the open annual elections.

    However what happened most of the time is about 5 whiny assholes showed up to AGM meetings and bitched and complained when they should have been rounding up support OUTSIDE the meetings to get people in to vote.

    I’ve since revoked that access.

    A few releases ago they made it so you can DEFAULT new entities NOT to be controlled by the VA… I cleared ALL entities and changed the setting. I only add things one at a time to voice control now.

    SO many integrations ad switches it is a high risk to default the VA to have access to all new ones.

    I am in the camp that there is a benefit to the managed store. Since moving family members to iOS devices the number of times they have loaded malware or asked me for help installing ANYTHING dropped to zero.

    Should techies be able to side load if they want? Sure, should that be a primary install method? No.

    Epic isn’t wrong about Apples payment requirements being BS, but Epic also isn’t exactly a hero here.

    Will be interesting to see how this pissing match plays out over time.

    Should you be able to use other payment providers outside of apple pay YES!

    Should you be able to install other APP stores on an iPhone? Not sure.









  • We block new cars that have the wrong color indicator lights or the wrong color of seatbelt button. We block cars from other countries that don’t have a preset to have the headlights on.

    The jacked up F150 still has laws about its road worthiness, still can be taken off the road, especially if the operator does something stupid with it.

    Ya the more you talk about it the BETTER it sounds that we get more specific laws about guns just like cars.

    Lets add inspections when you cross provinces.

    Restrict its use if too loud.

    What if the operator shoots it too rapidly? Get a license revocation for a period of time maybe longer?

    Sounds perfect!
