As well as the medical effects, there’s also the realisation (age varies when this happens) that going out in order to get drunk is not a good time.

No, I was responding to your old fashioned views about pricing. Do you see the difference between fair pricing that you mention and fair value ?

The whole point with Fair Value is that the consumer has control. It’s not about fair pricing. It’s about what you get for that price being fair value.

Nowadays a company needs to define its target market and ensure that target market gets fair value. A product can have any price as long as its target market thinks it’s fair value.

We’ve seen some companies innovate and open up new markets that haven't been served before. For example social tariffs that attract consumers who wouldn’t normally subscribe.

It’s not just me saying this. Many commentators and analysts have pointed out that some companies (not just Apple) are taking a rather basic approach and actually removing value. The whole idea with Apple one was to add value but now that seems to be changing. They are retreating to what they know, put up prices without using their business acumen to increase value.

I didn’t say they don’t want to see companies charge too much. Fair Value is not about the price but the value you get for that price.

I’m talking this planet. Just look for ESG funds and ESG compliant companies. They are valued at over 53 trillion dollars according to the UN.

ESG reporting is now mandatory and a part of accounting standards in the US, UK and the majority of countries.

Incidentally, try investor.apple.com/esg/default.aspx

You’ll find Apples reports back to 2021.

Yes, this is a really important change.

That’s an old fashioned view that business moved on from in the last ten years. It’s all about Environmental,Social and Corporate Governance (ESG investors are in control now at the big investors) with governments and regulators around the world setting rules. There’s a reason Apple is trumpeting its green credentials.

So if a company wants to attract money its needs a strong position. One aspect is the concept of fair value. It gets away from older concepts such as cheap and premium. A product should offer fair value. That means that what it offers is commensurate with the cost to the consumer. The consumer chooses whether the product or service offers fair value. Those companies that offer fair value will attract more investors and more customers.

That’s why I say they are lacking in modern business smarts.

I know what you’re saying but the world has moved on. Companies and regulators are talking about fair value as governments adopt ESG laws.

Companies that take an old fashioned “as much as we can get away with” approach are finding their customers drifting away. Nowadays if companies want to put up prices and be successful then they have to make the product (whatever it is) seem more valuable.

Yes, but there’s no way of manually clearing the cache. On iOS the app (if it’s in the App Store) must either manage the cache automatically or allow the user to set a cache size limit.

If it gets out of hand (see Settings/General/iPhone Storage) You’d need to uninstall the app, restart your phone and re-install.

Genuine question. Is it still in active development? The last release was three months ago, the last commit on GitHub was in August and no posts from the team in two months.

I’m using the native iOS Voyager app. Which version of Voyager are you using?

One of the potential issues (and it’s a Lemmy thing) is that instances can go off line or have software issues or get taken over by CSAM etc The advice is often that it’s easier to set up a new account. So at any one time there’s lots of new accounts that are actually people who’ve been around a long time.

Very true, I remember a few years ago someone converting old cartoons to a consistent 60 frames a second.

If they’d asked an animator they’d have found out that animation purposely uses different rates of change to give a different feel to scenes. So the improvement actually ruined what they were trying to improve.

I’m on discuss.online and can join, vote and comment. Which version of Voyager are you on? Is it possible you’re banned?
