Posted this to someone else here, so I'll just copy that post:
You are of course talking about the Billet Labs prototype they has been told they could keep, but Billet Labs changed their mind after the video (valid, since LTT did fuck that video up), but a mistake was made by someone in logistics at LTT so it wasn't put aside for return as it should.
And when it got known by LTT that it had happened, they first offered to get the prototype back from the person who bought it, which Billet Labs said no to, then offered to pay them back the cost of the prototype.
Is that what you mean by "steals"

They look like the guitarist and drummer from a metal band where the mosh pit will murder you.
That's not how you spell "steals".

That's not the story Billet told.
I'm on my phone now, so I don't have the links, but if you find Billet Labs reddit account and check their comments from around when this all happened, you will find a couple of comments where they admit they only asked for it back after the video, and that LTT offered to get it back for them.
The rest (why it wasn't sent back) is from a wan shows from the same period.
What did he steal?
wtf, why does clicking on the link give me an ad for voyager?
It shows the post he's referring to, and it shows Voyager branding since he used the apps share option instead of sending the original link. At the bottom of the page there's a link to the full context. I'm not a fan of Voyager for doing this.
Huh, voyager did not use to do that., I think
I'm not a fan of that either.
What alternatives do you recommend?
I have Sync for Lemmy simply because that's what I used before coming to Lemmy. However, I'd say just make sure you copy the original link (to lemmy.world for example) instead of the voyager link, should be easy enough
Maybe I'll check this one out next. Although I like Raccoons Ui because it's sleek, I don't like that you can't get rid of posts in /all, which is annoying since there's always duplicates.
I'm looking into switching to Raccoon, which someone recommended
While yes there is a link to the original content, clicking it does not let me view it within my own app of choice. So not only is it an ad, but it forces you to view anything shared on web or voyager.
This is actually a bug that the link doesnβt unwrap when you paste it into Voyager. It should be fixed in the next release.
Edit: also if your app handles threadiverse.link links in app, you can ask them to handle vger.to links in the same way. Both services use the exact same link format so itβs no extra code.
It's a setting that can be changed. Sucks that that's the default, but Voyager can send original links too.
Itβs a bug that will be fixed in the next release. If you paste links in the Voyager app, they should automatically unwrap.
YES, DO AS I SAY
Why it broken >:(
Iluvatar vs Morgoth?
I'm the one who knocks
"Yes, do as I say!"
