That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could’ve been done differently.
My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.
Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.
Again, that’s the rumor.
Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”
Hey! I’m a dad, and I consider myself marginally funny.
But I’m also a 10-year Reddit user, so I know what you mean. There’s a world of difference between old and modern Reddit. There was an actual “culture” that we were all a part of. I’d prefer a return to the “front page of internet culture” rather than keeping it alive as the “front page of popular media” it became.
I’m narcissistic, so this is turning out to be a great gig!
Careful man, he may edit your com….
Wait a second. We’re free!
there’s something comforting seeing other Apollo friends here. Good to have you here!
I imagine there were 2 primary reasons, one financial, one personal:
Number of heavy users (including a lot of mods) would’ve forced Christian to implement an open-ended cost model based on individual usage, or raise rates across the board to compensate, making it ultimately cost-prohibitive for the average user, and/or
Not wanting to communicate (by folding) such a change was okay. To move to a blanket cost model is to basically admit that you’re okay with and accept the changes.
Some might say it was pure stubbornness and greed, or conclude his decision was a bad one. That’s its own topic for debate I guess.
