Yeah, the curse of success. Everyone seems to be hoping for the swift death of Reddit but I dunno. It getting shittier but still existing might be the best outcome.

It’s this. I love the idea of running an instance and have considered it many times. But modding the thing is no joke. It’s real work that needs to be taken seriously.

It’s true, shopping for “full” functionality USB-C cables or a good hub is a nightmare. I dread the process whenever I have to do it.

Also the 13 mini is a fantastic device :-)

Yes, the accessories are a major pain in the butt. I’ve considered buying a magic trackpad but at this point don’t want to accumulate another device with a lightning port.

This is similar to my situation. It’s out of laziness at this point because my two installs just keep working.

Why you posting pictures of reddit? /s

Yep, it’s this. Despite how it seemed in the 2010s investor capital is not free money. Investors want it paid back many multiple times over and they’ll risk destroying the underlying product if necessary.

It’s funny how obvious this point is and yet it seems to be getting kind of quietly ignored.

I can’t imagine walking around in public with something like this Apple headset on, let alone with the insane price tag… which means that people are definitely going to do it.
