I’ll give them credit for sticking with it so far. I even keep getting updates. But I assume they’re brainstorming ways to end the one-time payment installations.
A loom that learned to weave itself.

Pay three times as much for a “feature” nobody asked for.
That’s too bad since they recently purchased the excellent Affinity suite… which I originally bought for a single lifetime price, but they’re switching to a subscription model. So my favorite editing suite might get ruined two ways.
This is cool, but are they really the beast we need to bring back? Where will they stay?
$44 is more than my gym membership, and they have dozens of bikes and other equipment. These Peloton people are diseased.
Something so simple shouldn’t require maintenance.
This will inevitably translate into “Cute and toothless fuzzy animal avatars psychotically manipulating users with fun child-like language and something about diversity.”
AI will obviously be used primarily to manipulate people and sell stuff. Corporations own it, they want to control us and get our money and data, the “vision” stapled on top of that is meaningless except as propaganda.
I’d much rather pay with money than data.
I’m willing to pay for an ad-free version. Google maps are very useful. I don’t need it to be free. But ads are poison.

Should I remove my Agile experience from my resume?
Everybody buy your music. These streaming platforms are trash.
With sudo access? Can you suggest some? I did tons of research and rarely found anything less than $70/month.
I’ve been looking for a place to host web apps in whatever language (Rust, Nim, or whatever) and framework I want, where I can use my own domains and multiple apps, and have sudo access. And I don’t want to pay $70/month for it. I gave up on that hunt (it might have been unrealistic), although I’ll be researching some of the alternatives offered in these comments.
A VPS is also very expensive though. And shared hosting usually only allows HTML and PHP. So what’s the affordable alternative?
I want all the redditors. I just want them on a more open platform.
I absolutely did NOT leave reddit because of the users. I left because of the changes to the platform.
I love reddit users and lemmy users.
It’s waaaay too polite and clean, to the point of self righteousness. Twitter is still more fun, but it leans too far in the other direction.
Lemmy was too self righteous at first too. People acting like we came here because reddit users were bigots… no, it’s because spez is a greedy bastard who ruined the site.
So I think bluesky might become cool like lemmy when people finally relax.
Twitter > BlueSky > Mastodon
Personally I think we should all use the kbin microblog.
CDs are just digital files plus waste. Vinyl is a musical ritual.
As I job-hunt, every job listed over the past year has been “AI-drive [something]” and I’m really hoping that trend subsides.
