Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)
Started switching away from all of their stores last month in anticipation. I try to get everything I can from Costco, and use FreshCo for everything else.
I can't find the video, but I remember someone at Ableton said they pretty much had the same view of Live piracy. If someone pirates it, they weren't willing to spend the money on it, but perhaps they will be willing to in the future.
MySQL (and by extension, MariaDB) has an even better option:
mysql --i-am-a-dummy
Without an explanation, this comment looks more stupid. Why is their example bad?
Few thoughts:
- What is being made? Can't really care about it without having some idea
- What makes this company's version of it worth our interest?
- How is it better than the FOSS solutions that in this day and age almost definitely already exist
- Why are we to put our faith in this group for pay once software when their two major products are SaaS?
It's funny because it's heartbreaking!
Lemmy was created because of reddit fucking BS
Lol, no.
even shamed one user in my team to switch from Windows to Mac …
It's so strange that Windows users don't see how welcoming our communities are.
No need to split tunnel. Mullvad has options in the app to allow local networking. Just have to enable it.
I disagree that it being a monolith is immediately a problem, but also
In fact you scale a monolith the same way you scale micro services.
This is just not true. With microservices, it is easy to scale out individual services to multiple instances as demand requires them. Hosting a fleet of entire Lemmy instances is far more expensive than just small slices of it that may require the additional processing power.
It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn't really take away from that.
