Earnestly, what's the concern here? People complain about open source being mostly beneficial to megacorps, if that's the main change (idk I haven't looked too closely) then that's pretty good, no?

False dichotomy, just advertise based on the content of the site without spying on people

Disagree wrt practicing gratitude towards resources consumed and tools utilized. Maybe it doesn't degrade you if you don't but I think it gives a bit more perspective

Huh, didn't know there were enough people to perpetuate a model like that just for lost pets. I had thought of this a while back and figured that would be a no-go

I was thinking it might help if they opened up the premise a bit, just made it about collecting pictures of animals, maybe tagging them as being a stray or having a collar but being alone, that it might increase the engagement for something like this.

Also +1 on the android point

Wasn't using an iconic voice but it does seem to be voice specific, good call

For sure, I saw where it was skipping and I wouldn't have been surprised if it were intentional, but good to disprove. Thanks for checking, have a good day

Most people are in survival mode, and it's a socially vulnerable thing to admit you don't like the work. It requires a level of safety, by being honest about it and supportive of others hopefully we can get to the point where we can collectively acknowledge them and maybe try to address them.

It's also just not fun to think about why life sucks, and it makes life a little harder to begin with I think. So it requires some tact. People bringing it up as a subjective and personal take that they just want to share, as opposed to an objective fact that needs to change, has made it easier for me to take others more seriously in this area.

Sorry you felt like the minority, hope you can get to/create an environment where you feel better understood.
