A reminder that Opera is owned by a Chinese public company. I wouldn't trust the browser for privacy reasons.

Hopefully people can now stop jumping to conclusions and raging over nothing, but I doubt it.

I'm just waiting for some FOSS purist to find fault in this.

For the customer, (actually quite good) coupons. For the company, data collection.

But not run by the original owners. And the current team is really shady. I wouldn't trust downloading an .exe from there.

Like most of capitalism tbf

Great to hear that Mbin is getting some attention!

Luckily the only "AI" we have are LLMs which seem to have hit their peak, and probably will start corrupting itself with its own training data now that they've scoured the web clean.

I'd say this might be true for programs, but as long as you download movies, shows and music I'd assume it's fine as long as you use common sense.

Well, many do...

Thanks for answering! Nothing against fedia, after all I'm posting from here, just asked out of curiosity.. would've been fun if the local magazines were somewhat more active. Though I guess there lies the fediverse's strength, of being able to post and read in this collection for example.

For sure. And Libreoffice doesn't constantly try to make you save your documents in OneDrive...

"Natural" diamonds are a manufactured luxury. Lab-made are just as well, if not better, but big diamond is really pushing the "rocks we find in the ground are better". Even though the diamond industry has their hands covered in blood.

Probably why this isn't enabled in the EU. GDPR wouldn't have allowed it.

I use Proton for Steam games. You can enable it in Steam settings, just run it via Steam afterwards. For games purchased via GOG, I use Heroic Launcher which uses a variant of Wine.

I see your point. But as someone else mentioned, there are many programs, apps and what not that shouldn't require a subscription just by looking at how the software or hardware is set up.

At least earlier there have been quite a few problems with federation not working between KBin and Lemmy, posts and comments not syncing. It does seem better now but at the same time it's hard to know if you're missing a few comments or threads or whatnot.

The article points out that the problem exists in a literature class, where well, you're expected to be able to read a complete book in some week in order to analyze it. That's literally the course.

If one doesn't want to self-host it one can always go through a service like PikaPods who do in fact have a revenue sharing deal with Actual Budget. And either way, Actual Budget isn't really an accounting tool for businesses, or did I misunderstand you?

If you're in the EU you can do bank syncing for free with GoCardless integration. If you're in the US you need to go with SimpleFIN which costs a small sum and is in a more experimental phase than the GoCardless integration I think. Either way, GoCardless has been working great for me. Actually far better than YNAB which didn't even support my bank. It's literally just set up and forget.
