This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

It’s a thing in the Linux world and it’s just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don’t support it.

A lot worse. Was tired of the [removed] trope whenever mods did something incredibly stupid.

Not being open source ≠ not safe.

Microsoft ships hardened Chromium basically, with sandboxing turned up to eleven.

They also run their SmartScreen filtering on top of that.

Also, Firefox is more private, not secure. Either you run LibreFox or it’s less secure than Edge by default.

Star Trek memes are the only things keeping me on platform lmao

Guy is hundred percent right. Lemmy is a echo chamber for a certain demographic as vast majority of users are in it.

We either have tech, or politics. Literally every topic ends up in either. We also don’t have the differing opinions aspect as just about every debater talks like they’re just the different shade of the same color.

Even spicy news that would make any other site a warzone of opinions just echo chambered here. Literally everyone agrees on one conclusion and random two comments that disagree with that having at least -15 points.

Social(ist) policies are extremely removed from socialism. The countries people list here, aka Canada, Danmark and Ireland among others are extremely capitalist still. This thread is therefore useless.

The last paragraph has a Mechanicus ring to it lmao

Venn diagram of people who understand this specific technicality and people who don’t want to deal with the shitty TV software is almost a circle though.

I’d rather get a Android box at the very least…, or just HTPC.

I tend to disagree. I’m trying to integrate Blender to my work flow and I find very difficult to do so. Simply because 95% of it is accessed through arbitrary button combinations and has no GUI counterpart. This in turn makes the learning curve a cliff, which I really don’t consider a pleasant experience.

Also you can’t track viewport with a camera easily. Something that literally every other 3D app I’ve ever used allows you to do.

I do. It’s more secure than any other alternative. Not private, but really, really secure.

Best solution: Stop using Chrome.

It’s not the fastest nor the most feature rich anymore, not even the simplest.

I have the same stance. Just because I designed a product, I don’t get a percentage of each product sold.

Because if we did that for everyone who were responsible for it, it’d skyrocket the said products price.

Yup Play attestation is dead, even the new and shiny “secure” one is bypassed. It’s now just a hinderence.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

Oh, interesting. Nice to know that, thank you!

Yup, just saw it, thanks!

Niagara costs like six bucks to buy?

Turkish Lira

It’s ₺3290 which is $122 in Türkiye.

Have you considered people are mad because:

• Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.

• Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.

• Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn’t help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.

• Having a subscription for features that don’t cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.

• The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.

• Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.

Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync’s UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don’t see myself recommending Sync to friends.
