Is that illegal? Aren't they offering it to you for free? It's definitely immoral but probably not illegal.

That's fair, but yeah I don't really care for that. I can understand why someone would though

What I do on my PC and what I do on my phone are different. Above all the most important feature of my phone is that it works reliably, not that I can tinker or install mods

I don't care to enhance it any further from the default experience, especially with the downsides

I guess that's a fair reason. I hadn't really considered that because I don't personally care too much

My usage of my phone is different from the usage of devices I specifically install Linux on.

Well Linux is an entire different OS which comes with its own benefits. Rooting makes it a lot more difficult to use apps that use safetynet so doing it because "why not" rather than for a specific benefit doesn't make sense to me

I had my note 8 for longer than security updates existed so I installed lineageOS on it, it got security updates but lost a ton of other features and became buggy and slow. Maybe with other phones the experience is better.

I was speaking for myself, I have no idea why people do it. Didn't say there aren't legitimate reasons, I just don't know any of them

This is shitty, but genuinely I have no idea why people root or run custom ROMs these days. I haven't found an actual use for it since about 2015

Edit: plenty have people have given me fair enough reasons now, thanks

This also isn't only the tech industry, it's any industry. Pushy door to door salespeople aren't in the tech industry.

But can you set a limit to stop it going above the free tier

Maybe getting out of fixed leases?

Does netlify not let you set a spend limit?

Why pay for hosting a static site at all when github, cloudflare etc offer free hosting

Install promtail on the system where you want to get the logs from, then configure it with the paths to the log files and the address of the loki server

I think social media, particularly Twitter, has bred this. Twitter is designed in a way that makes it impossible to have an actual structured debate and instead encourages short and unambiguous statements which cannot possibly accurately encapsulate an issue

If he really did die of natural causes do you reckon they were going "fuuuuuck this is not what it looks like"

Loki with grafana

Yes they can, and regularly do? Obviously they can't feed themselves but I think you know the difference between that and not being viable to live
