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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Logcat is your friend. Someone on one of these threads mentioned they confirmed via logcat that the dev is correct.

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

Kinda like the names of his kids.

There are many other email providers besides gmail out there...

"...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..."

Thunder and Jerboa are the best so far. Both have had updates in the past few days that have polished things.
