This. If I’m required to give up all my personal info I might as well get some cash back and all the other CC benefits.

in my opinion the less people have your information the better.

Yeah that’s kinda the point…

It looks like the future promised in 1984, if that’s what you were referring to.

Streamable? You can also run your videos through 8mb.video and it will compress them to 100mb. That’s what I usually do.

You’re not paying to see ads. They’re just subsidizing the cost of the service.

I’ve tried a few of them but haven’t found anything better than the PWA 🤷

When was the last time you tried to run Linux? The last year has seen incredible progress on that front, thanks to Valve.

No one uses Wine for games anymore.

I switched about a year ago. Not because Linux got better, but because MS got worse.

I’m tired of Cortana. The fact that they try to force Edge onto my PC is absolutely infuriating. And I’m tired of these Windows updates constantly breaking my bug fixes. Never even tried W11 but I hear it’s much worse (unsurprisingly).

Plasmatrap.com is very stable (for now)

No, it doesn’t?

It doesn’t matter whose fault it is.

If the same thing happens with this software, they will have it taken down. That’s why the license exists.

If you actually watch the OP, he talks about this. They don’t want the app to be copied and then have ads and tracking injected and then slapped onto the Play Store to exploit users like NewPipe has right now.

CEO’s statement:

We’ll probably do a Q+A on this sometime soon.

1. We believe it’s essential that all of the software that people run on their computers be open to scrutiny by the owner of the computer.
2. We believe that software developers should be payed directly by the people who use their software.
3. We want others coders to be able to pick up and maintain abandoned projects into the future.

We don’t have all the answers, but I personally am very unhappy with the state of open source software. We have billions of people running polished open source software on their Android and iOS devices with all sorts of nefarious hidden software attached by Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.

So we’re not gonna just run with status quo. We want to win by letting the people be masters their computers once again.

Well the difference is they didn’t use to ask you to accept cookies, they just took them.

What are the chances these components are still available in 5 years?

I mean…it does what it needs to do just fine.

Is this thing repairable?

You could make the same argument for cash.

Not really. At the time cash was created it was simply for exchanging value, because we didn’t have anything better. It’s just legacy currency now.

No shortage of different ways but most of them require KYC which basically instantly makes it in useless. You can, however, buy from individuals using LocalMonero.

The government is selling your financial data, which is a whole other level of fucked up since thats not something you can opt out of, at all.
