Legally? No.

Morally? Yes. Customers give their say as to whether or not they want to give their money to some specific company every single time they engage in a business transaction. There is also nothing wrong with telling others to make the same consideration.

    I had that. I was very close to losing my arm, but I was lucky enough to get to a hospital quickly, and I ended up being there for 3 weeks, with 5 full surgeries under anstesia to remove infected tissue.

    I'm telling you this to be aware of the signs. It started with minor pain when I put my elbow down on the table. This happened in the evening. The next morning there were some redness on the skin but I went to work. I visited a doctor who concluded there was an infection and recommending antibiotics. By the afternoon there was swelling and I was in quite a bit of pain so I went to the emergency. By the time I got there I could barely hold the pen when I signed my name on the form.

    If you ever have a rapidly increasing infection, go to the hospital right away. Waiting a day could mean losing a limb.

    It's been a while (well decades) since I used road tyres, but at least mountain bike tyres are famously recommending way too high pressure. I run about 1.3 bar in mine, while the recommended pressure on the tyres are 2.0 if I'm not mistaken.

    And 2.0 is impossible to ride with. Apparently they do this to avoid lawsuits if the tyre punctures so they can argue you were running them out of spec.

    Maybe, but their own actions helped. Everybody said that the 12 live games was a terrible idea. They replaced the guy behind the idea, but they're still pushing marathon without any single player nor co-op.

    This smells like another Concord, to the point where I will be absolutely surprised if it lasts even 2 months.

    Not only that. Backroom deals without public documentation has been done since the beginning of humanity.

    Even if blockchains were widely used, these things would happen outside the blockhain and no one would be the wiser.

    I had an account there. I never used, but I posted a few times just to see what it looked like.

    The UI wasn't bad, and if they have any resources left they should repurpose that UI on top of Mastodon.
