I can’t believe they have this many subs tbh

This is true on one hand, but on the other hand, the businesses still using Ubuntu 10.04 with its original kernel would like a word.

Duh fuq.

I wonder how many people would give their social that easily.

How does this appeal to people? I like goldfish the same. Though Whales are cheaper and taste okie.

Have you heard of adblocking?

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn’t a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It’s word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I’ve had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

And if self hosting bitwarden seems tough, look at vaultwarden instead. It’s a one-container all in one bitwarden-compatible container.

So free like starlink instead of free like beer

There’s another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

I know this may come off as a surprise: but I imagine that requiring JS in 2024 isn’t a big deal to most people.

Now of course Lemmy skews more into that small crowd.

I don’t blame any website for requiring JS for full functionality in 2024.

Don’t forget Sacramento. I hate the sweeping under the rug without fixing the problems.

You mean: how they will raise prices to account for that.

I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.

Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn’t get directly released to the public?

… or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

This reminds me of when a coworker wrote a protocol around sending encrypted messages back and forth inside of gchat to control another PC.

The reason was that: our company firewall doesn’t let stuff go in directly, but we have internet.

I thought that was a nutty tos violation.

Each system had a Google account and would login and listen for messages from the controller.

This hits the point already. Look at those weight loss drugs that help people lose weight and are needed by certain other people.

Look at all the celebrities all of a sudden on them and regular people’s insurance won’t cover them. The regular folks who need them have trouble getting them as a result.

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it’s deceptive to imply they don’t say it’s local.

If you don’t believe them it’s one thing but they said what they said.

Lots of comments in here saying this sends stuff to Microsoft and yet that isn’t true. It’s an offline local feature.

I personally look forward to giving it a try.
