USB-C is just a connector, but Thunderbolt 5 uses it and for asymmetric uses (e.g. a monitor) it can hit 120Gbps.

Isn’t that going to support most monitors?

Is a dongle that doesn’t dangle even really a dongle at all?

I dunno - I’m pretty sure I’d choose the modern MacBook Pro’s ports over any of these other options.

It highkey kinda sucks tho, being implicitly all like “I I can’thave Apollo do Reddit than nobody can have it!”. Its really childish and selfish in the way it fucks over almthe people who grew dependant on it for their Reddit-type social fix app

Maybe I’ve missed something but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t done anything to try and stop Voyager; he just didn’t give it a seal of approval.

As a practical matter, I wouldn’t invest any time or money into the guy’s projects anymore not because he doesn’t do amazing UI/UX/App work, but because he is not someone is seems to plan long-term or is advised by anyone who could have told him this would be a problem legally or administratively etc.

I think he absolutely does plan ahead. The fact that he was able to absorb the expense of all the refunds he was forced to issue for subscriptions that extended beyond his ability to access the API speaks directly to that.

Not to mention his foresight in being able to bring receipts when Spez and the other Reddit admins attempted to smear him in the press.

I think you feel more strongly about it than I do, so I’m not trying to change your mind or anything. I’m just adding my perspective.

I know; I understand where he was coming from and kinda get it, but I’m not going to stop using it.

Oh Christian…when will you learn you’re not big enough to disrupt existing power structures?

You’re an Aaron Swartz; not a Sam Altman…
