My bad. A few years ago I looked at getting Tile for my Dad and decided not to when it mentioned a recurring subscription. I didn’t realise it had a decent free. I also assumed Apple would be even worse for rent-seeking because, well, it’s usually a safe assumption. My bad for assuming so much!

Honest question: why cross post to two communities on the same instance. Isn’t this just splitting the comments without really inceasing exposure?

Is there any variation of these that doesn’t require a subscription? Even if it means it only works around th house (e.g. on wifi)?

You say, “biased towards the trans community,” I say, “biased against baseless bigotry,” as any sensible person should be.

Your ramblings may be scattered with statements that are agreeable in isolation (like “they are just people like the rest of us”), but your stance seems to ignore the fact that, unlike “the rest of us”, the trans community is being specifically targeted and marginalized, so for the sake of equity it seems fair (not biased) for the rest of us to more vehemently defend them.

It would be cool if this evolved into some sort of decentralized internet archive.
