The thing is, there's nothing wrong with sharing knowledge or pointing out best practices. What sucks is people replying JUST to point out the flaws and then gloat, without even fully comprehending what happened in the article. But this behavior has been around way longer than reddit.

To be fair, Spotify might suck for artists, but for users it's a good value in my opinion, and the price was $9.99 for like 10 years. I don't begrudge them a small increase. In fact, I wish all the price increases we've seen lately would be so modest.
Sadly, very few people seem to understand this. I'm all for seeing a big company have to take responsibility, but the way people just blindly follow this is very disheartening. You can't have true accountability without accuracy. They hear "throttling old phones" and assume the rest. The supreme irony is, throttling was the only way to keep older devices running longer. When I was doing kernel development on the Note2 and Note4, people constantly reported sudden reboots or otherwise rapidly depleting battery while using the camera. The old batteries just couldn't handle the sudden spike in demand for near 100% CPU/GPU utilization + full display brightness + camera hardware powered on + heavy RAM/IO use, all at once. So the voltage would drop, even for just a few milliseconds, then the CPU would starve, and the device would reboot. Just like pressing the reset button on a PC. Limiting the CPU was the easiest solution for everyone. Do I think they should have done it silently? No. Do I think they did it to avoid being thrust into the spotlight when more and more of their users were reporting reboots? Yes. I think modern devices handle this much better because they learned from the past. Manufacturers didn't realize back then what the degradation curve would be years into the future against acute spikes in battery demands.
The amount of creativity Adobe products unleashed upon the world is staggering. Decades ago they were groundbreaking. Just about any piece of media you have ever seen from the past 35+ years has been touched by them in some way.
The Adobe we know now was not the Adobe of back then. Just like the Apple of 1985 is not anything like the Apple we have today. Back then it was about actually developing useful technology, and not just coming up with innovative ways to squeeze every last dollar from every possible customer for the same bloated and tired piece of software.
Back then you had a problem (eg. people wanted to create artistic stuff), and then you had a solution (powerful software to help you). Now software like that is everywhere, so the only way for companies to "compete" is by adding bloat and jacking up the price. Hence the Adobe we see today, full of pointless crap and complex licensing schemes.
"...so that character came in the third season, but actually they were an extra in the first season, so it's kind of like...hey...are you leaving? To the bathroom? Oh ok, let me follow. So, as I was saying, they became a member of the fulltime cast in the third...oh it's ok, there's a partition next to the urinal, I can't see anything. So, like I said, they only came in the third season, but they wanted to be in the second season, but the producer at the time had a grudge...hey...where are you going? A stall? Oh ok, well you can still hear me, so let's find two side-by-side stalls. So anyway, wait until you hear what happened once the fourth season started..."
I'm not Swedish, but I'm proud of them, too!
I like how they count "Nothing", "No response", and "Other" as being separate religions so that the chart looks nore intimidating.
Kinda like the names of his kids.
Logcat is your friend. Someone on one of these threads mentioned they confirmed via logcat that the dev is correct.
I've used nothing but Firefox on all desktops/laptops since 2004. I really don't understand how or why anyone would switch away.
There are many other email providers besides gmail out there...
That would have been a fantastic idea, tbh.
Don't trust me? Fine, then weigh it. See? The scale says 3 tons, just like I said.
The vast majority of Android phones in the USA are locked. It has been impossible to upgrade the ROM on any flagship Galaxy for the better part of a decade here, and the few times it is possible, it'll also trip Knox and disable important features permanently.
He's up to three so far, with a fourth likely on the way (Georgia interference).
For some people, that's the price they paid for their entire low/mid-range Android phone.
I believe that policy was reduced or removed many years ago. Around the time when all the cool new projects stopped, and Google scrubbed "don't be evil" from their site and company philosophy.

The option to remove ads has been added - it costs $20 USD. The lifetime Ultra costs $100 USD.
No problems on the latest Jerboa for me.
Meteogram is an amazingly customizable widget-type app that shows everything you could imagine on a timeline/chart. One of my all-time favorite and most used apps. It is updated regularly, and the amount of customization is insane. It is so nice to be able to just look at a chart and instantly know everything you need to know about the upcoming hour(s) and day(s).
I have been also been using an app called Forecaster which is pretty cool, that's more of a conventional weather app.
My favorite radar app is MyRadar.
Just installed Photon on my instance (photon.fanexus.com) this morning and it's beautiful!
I remember when it was FutureSplash Animator, and my young mind was blown by the possibilities of animations in only a few kb.
Yeah... But maybe not ANYONE... "Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has already registered an 'X' logo in connection to 'online social networking services' and 'social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming, and application development.'"

$17/year to subscribe to Ultra, or $100/once. That means you'd have to subscribe yearly for almost 6 years to break even.
$20 to remove ads, $100 for Ultra.
Thunder and Jerboa are the best so far. Both have had updates in the past few days that have polished things.
The option to remove ads has been added - it costs $20 USD. The lifetime Ultra costs $100 USD.
Wow, flashback to 25 years ago!
Credit cards charge the companies fees. Your $100 bill payment might only be $98 once it gets to them, because Visa/MC/etc took $2. But most importantly, it strips away any protection you have against incorrect charges. With a credit card on file, you can dispute charges, even demand a charge-back. But with a debit card or bank transfer? Your money is gone, too bad for you.
I just got some J. Herbin "Emerald of Chivor" ink for my Lamy Safari and I love it!

It is indeed beautifully designed. By far the best looking client I've seen yet.
Thunder is pretty amazing right now.
Hello, fellow Nine user! Glad to see at least some other people are aware of it.
I agree, and did not mean to imply they had any good intentions. Just that it wasn't pure malicious, evil on their part. They should have been transparent, and offered better solutions to users. They certainly could afford to do so.
Imagine the confusion when people order a "Big O".
The true benefits of a Costco membership.
It's live for me. It appears that the paid version, "Sync Ultra", requires a $2/month subscription, or $17/year. Seeing as lemmy APIs are free, I am confused why this is so expensive? o_0
