I should add it's ok if you're not as able to parse out the programming details and need a very user friendly GUI to make your music, or graphics, or video production, but don't try to tell me Apples are the best at those things. They're not cost effective. I can do everything an Apple can but cheaper and more customizable. I've been building and programming computers since before I hit elementary school.

Love Apple.  Don’t know why there is a much incompatibility between Apple and others.  IME Apple converts well to other formats but not vice versa.

Oh the irony of this post. Wasn’t a thread. started about Ace bashing his landlord for needing to collect his late fee, while he cried about this being not fair because of the economical position we are in. This after he was given 100k + untaxed. Your group defended that and agreed that it wasn’t right to try to collect his late Fee from him, and even took down the post. Now you want to collect your fees from people during this economical condition we are in? Funny how that works huh ... you want your money so now it’s time to collect lol.

So you’re saying I’m wrong? A person signs a rental agreement and agrees to the terms of a late fee. Then complains up and down how it’s not right that someone he owes the money too is trying to collect. Then, MgoBlog agreed, supports that and removes post. The next day MgoBlog verbally calls out the people who agreed to their purchase terms, hadn’t paid it and now they want their money. Seems like the same scenario, no?

There were additional steps. The way a Kickstarter works is you pledge and your card is only charged if the make their funding goal, and then the creators are responsible for getting the goods out.

I once tried to launch an industrial version of the same, since at the time I was publisher of a trade magazine and knew 90% of new technologies in our industry were updates made on site by the engineers who operate the equipment, and getting capital for those kinds of tweak inventions is such a pain in the ass that most of them never get off the ground.

You're a total idiot dude.

Go back to your twitter echo chamber where you think everyone agrees with you and you pal up with Yoder. You clearly lack a large amount of reasoning and reading comprehension.

 

Yes MGoblog is totally failing while they fully crowdfund their magazine in a day.

The private-relay addresses are a email-hiding proxy:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_js/communicating_using_the_private_email_relay_service

If you're saying the proxy doesn't work e.g. it's blocking the emails from the Kickstarter campaign and hence those people aren't responding, that doesn't seem to be the case elsewhere.  I'm not sure what Apple has to do with it otherwise ...

I have had a few of the people who used those private-relay addresses reach out to me that they did not receive any messages from Kickstarter, or received just one of them. It also makes it impossible for me to reach out to them personally.

There are other private relay services people have used (we VERY MUCH do not recommend using them for this) but apple's are the only ones that seem to consistently block messages from Kickstarter.
