Leeloo<p>I hate when I see an announcement with pictures of what is clearly a hardware synthesizer, but then when I check out the specs, rather than midi ports and number of CV/gate, it shows a size measured in gigabytes.</p><p>Post a screenshot instead, so people looking for a hardware synth don&#39;t waste their time, and people who prefer a VST don&#39;t skip your product.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Synthesizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Synthesizer</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FalseAdvertizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FalseAdvertizing</span></a></p>
Western Infidels<p>Been to a bunch of these DC museums and know no more about Smiths or Smithing than I did when I started <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/falseadvertizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>falseadvertizing</span></a></p>

It is violating its corporate mottos "Don't be evil," which later evolved into "Do the right thing" by not taking a MORAL position and developing a spine.

Aaron<p>What if a business &quot;going public&quot; (<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/IPO" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IPO</span></a>) meant being converted into a cooperative? The <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/founder" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>founder</span></a> gets their cash payout for building something of value to the community by actually *selling* it to the community?
