Some of the block list maintainer do accept donations, if I recall.

They are literally pirates?

Tolerating intolerance leads to disappearance of tolerance.

Sticker packs are a gateway drug to, well, drugs. Which you can buy on telegram too of course.

I’ll accept your opinion, regardless of how bad it is.

Oops, I accidentally fired the sd card containing my instance running on my raspberry pie.

I heard he threw parties all the time

You can absolutely fuck with your car and install after market parts. But your car still needs to pass a minimum level of road safety. That’s for the common good. I mean things like having correct lights, crumple zones, brakes, mirrors etc. Now if you want to make a car that runs on used kit hen scraps I totally think you should. We should own. Own devices including their computer system. But I don’t just the average Joe with the parts that keep me safe from them.

Also, this might not shock you, but cars also used to suck in many ways. Not everything from the past is good.

I think sooner or later open source cars will be a thing. The problem (well, it’s a good thing) is that cars need to pass inspection to be road ready. But not bike-like vehicles.

TAKE THIS COMMENT DOWN. YOU’RE CAUSING US GREAT FINANCIAL HARM. MILLIONS!!

Basically, yes. They want ISPs to police us.

What made decide to cancel Prime was realizing that Amazon was adding a markup to prime products that effectively cancelled out any shipping savings. But also prime video offering was crap where I live.

That and Amazon being a terrible company that I didn’t want to support anyway.

Is this not a legit concern?

Is this safe? Can I get my Telegram account banned?

Specially in mobile, if you don’t update your app yearly, it will probably be removed from the store soon. Google and Apple can randomly Review your app and decide that it failed review even if it passed in the past. And fixing it to pass review is often not trivial and can take weeks of work.

Also, with each new version of Android and iOS, your app can stop working or become outdated. The platform API changes frequently.

Finally, if you use any third party libraries in your app, vulnerabilities might be found in the that you’ll want to have patched ASAP.

Oh and of course, you need to pay 99$ a year for Appstore access.

Yes, you are totally right. The specific thing we have lost is the right to buy a specific version of an app and forgo future updates.

Yup. I used FOSS apps whenever possible and have contributed to several in the past, both with code and tips. I don’t mind having way less “features” as long as the core functionality is there.

The problem with one time purchases is that you might be investing time in an app that later will go out of business. Keeping an app up to date requires real constant work, before you even think of adding features and fixing bugs. People got used to paying 2 bucks for an app and keep it forever. That’s completely unsustainable.

But yeah, sure, some companies push it.

Lemmy alone creates more content that I care about. This is fine.

I think that’s for hormosexuerls no? No thank you.
