Indy developer charges $5 for app to access 1.78 trillion dollar company’s ad-driven video sharing platform.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by michaelhoney on Friday February 02, 2024 @12:41AM (#39225470)
I'm not sure what your point is. Should they not charge anything?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by huytersd on Friday February 02, 2024 @02:55AM (#39226234)
It’s a solo developer, a guy.

Bad hill to die on.

'they' is a great pronoun for ambiguous cases of sex & plurality
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by theshrike79 on Friday February 02, 2024 @05:33AM (#39227174)
My native language doesn't have gendered pronouns, so I make an explicit point of using "they" for a pronoun every time I can.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by danjc on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:08AM (#39227367)
It's a terrible pronoun since that usage is a retrofit of a word intended to be used as a plural.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by zapzupnz on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:31AM (#39227505)
Singular they dates back to the 14th century. Isn't 600 years long enough to stop quibbling over it?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by weego on Friday February 02, 2024 @07:13AM (#39227738)
Was here to say the same thing. OP ignoring history to double-down on gender bigotry is disappointing to find on HN.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by huytersd on Friday February 02, 2024 @08:08PM (#39236647)
When the gender is unknown. Why apply it in every case?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by zapzupnz on Sunday February 04, 2024 @01:27PM (#39252888)
No, not just when the gender is unknown.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by wodenokoto on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:49AM (#39227592)
Do you also avoid “you” when referring to just one person?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by Merik on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:35AM (#39227524)
I know an individual who used to think like that; do you want to know why they changed their mind?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by swexbe on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:40AM (#39227550)
So just like "you"? What's þi problem?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by GaryNumanVevo on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:31AM (#39227498)
Retrofit? The singular they has been used in English literature as far back as the 13th century, not exactly recent
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by huytersd on Friday February 02, 2024 @11:18AM (#39230401)
There is no ambiguity here.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by ubiquitysc on Friday February 02, 2024 @12:36AM (#39225440)
That seems pretty fair given the work put in to make what appears to be a much better experience than having to use it in the browser in VisionOS
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by yakkityyak on Friday February 02, 2024 @12:50AM (#39225530)
1.78 trillion dollar company could have made app, or even better, not disable the iPad version in contempt.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by jazzyjackson on Friday February 02, 2024 @03:32AM (#39226469)
is it contempt or simply a negotiation tactic?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by yard2010 on Friday February 02, 2024 @04:26AM (#39226805)
Does it matter?
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by yellow_lead on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:00AM (#39227323)
It would matter to me, or maybe a Vision Pro user. If Google is holding out as a negotiation tactic, there may be an official app in the future, if Apple compromises on revenue share.

If it is contempt or another reason, maybe the possibility if an official app is less likely.

Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by sbarre on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:50AM (#39227600)
Again, as a user, why is this our problem?

Let's all stop picking sides when trillion dollar companies fight each other at the expense of an open inter-operable Internet.

Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by endisneigh on Friday February 02, 2024 @08:36AM (#39228372)
If you want an open internet don’t use the app and just use the website that works.

Good grief

Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by sbarre on Friday February 02, 2024 @10:17AM (#39229549)
I think you missed my point there, but yes I agree with you on that.
Re:Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro by dubrocks on Friday February 02, 2024 @12:57AM (#39225569)
They surely have their own business plan for AR/VR that you're not aware of.
