Used Reddit for years. There's no way the percentage is that low.

Because when you have shareholders, there's no such thing as "we're profitable enough". Shareholders always demand more. Ads means more profit, at least in the short term. Next quarter profits are all that matter to public companies.

It's obscene, but it's the way it is.

Whatever you do, don't find massgravel's GitHub and run the PowerShell script (this is sarcasm btw)

Here's a thought: let's collectively not give either of these idiots any more attention 🙄

There is no reason why this shouldn't be on GitHub since it's likely just a bunch of ADB commands anyway. In the Reddit thread the author repeatedly refused to acknowledge or address the calls to make the tool open source. No thanks, seems too shady to me.

I absolutely didn't see the community name and ate the onion - this is totally believable

You may want to educate yourself before spreading unnecessary FUD. Firefox is free and open source, and always has been. There's no danger in Firefox becoming a paid browser because even if they tried, it would just be forked and maintained by another community or group.

Mozilla does have a for-profit arm called the Mozilla Corporation, and they manage the money received from Google and others. But that doesn't mean Firefox is going to become paid even if Google gets broken up by the antitrust efforts of the US government.

The downside to Keepass is it is not self hosted, as in it's designed to run locally per device. Yes, you can put the database file on a network and have multiple clients from different operating systems access the database, but you will end up with collisions and database issues. Ask me how I know.

Running cross platform Keepass (and it's various forks) is absolutely doable, but it is not as seemless as BitWarden. I'm running self hosted VaultWarden and I'm hoping to run it for a long time as it's much easier than Keepass.

Mine is Sony. First the rootkit scandal, then the removal of Other OS from PS3s after featuring it as a selling point in the marketing. Totally deceptive and I won't give them my money.

Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

I think the answer is obvious: because that's what sells and is popular. There are all black cases to be found though such as this one for example.

Disgusting

I hope this cinema (or the chain it belongs to) goes out of business. What a hostile way to treat your customers.

I don't agree. We've seen many times companies close locations outright after they unionize. At times governing bodies like the NLRB will fine them, and they'll gladly eat those fines and keep them closed.

For everyone rejoicing in this thread, there's no way Apple will allow this outside the EU. From the article:

We also found references to a region lock in this API, which suggests that Apple could restrict it to specific countries. This wouldn’t make sense for MDM solutions, but it does make sense for enabling sideloading in particular countries only when required by authorities – such as in the European Union.

I want side loading as much as the next guy, but Apple will only do the bare minimum to appease the EU regulations. Suck for those of us outside the EU.

And I (don't) feel fine

Yeah, seems like a lengthy article to spell "money"

Anyone, and I do mean ANYONE who buys ANY GAME before it's released deserves what they get. You people got the gaming industry into this situation.

5 whole dollars? Can they afford that level of generosity!?

The sooner pageants are a thing of the distant past the better
