Because someone built an easy-to-use solution for organisations to charge money for. The same thing with Cisco VPN that every other software company seems to use.

I was in a supermarket recently, and looked at the tea selection (I usually buy it at a more specialized place). There were almost no options without bags; quite disappointing.

Vanadium is not based on Firefox. Not to mention that it doesn't let you use add-ons, and OP clearly wants them.

If my phone rings, and I see an unknown number, I just decline. I'm at this level of trust.

I was lucky if everything worked. Usually it had troubles with peripherals, network, or even the USB drive it was on. But none (?) of this crap.

Have you ever used HOTP before? Convenience-wise, it's much worse than TOTP. It's not supported by popular apps, you can't use it on several devices unless there's synchronization, you never know if the code you're looking at was used already.

Screw this guy, but what's baffling is that Meta didn't do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn't violate their policies.

Obsession with one of the least energy efficient and one of the most harmful ways of transportation has to end.

Build a fucking train.

Directly via exhaust? It's a significant number, but maybe not the biggest one. But add manufacturing, oil (or battery materials) extraction and refining, road infra construction and maintenance, emissions connected to suburbanization, microplastic pollution from tires, health and safety impact, and you'll get a much grimmer picture. LEDs won't cut it, and cars do not scale to 8B people.

Could you please elaborate what you mean by saying “hardware security updates”?

Are you implying that impaired driving shouldn't count as a criminal offence?

They're proobably working on how to track messages on the way, like “hey, wanna use RCS? here's our com.google.rcs library”, which by coincidence sends every message to Google.

AgGuard was (is?) big on Android and DNS. Helped to get rid of ads in many apps.

Why do I need to know that “Torrent was downloaded from TheSiteINeverVisited.nfo”? It's just extra noise I don't need.

Is this really an unpopular opinion? I feel like with the ever-spreading enshittification, which spreads to GitHub as well, distancing from big tech products is becoming the new normal.

I'm curious to hear more about this. What's the app?

Right, I use Plex now too. However, it only has things that I already downloaded. So if we don't plan, we end up watching something on Netflix instead of spending extra time on looking+downloading+going back and forth between rooms.

That's fair, if this was your case. No point in paying for something you don't like.

As much as I hate old titles disappearing, I also enjoy the new content Netflix offers. To each their own, I guess.

Now imagine you have a family that likes to watch TV in the living room and not in your room.

This would be strange if Netflix didn't have enough of easily accessible good content.

When after finishing work we want to watch “a movie”, it's much easier to choose a Netflix recommendation than to do a half an hour reasearch online and then wait for the movie to be downloaded.

Now add to this time, energy, and expertise needed for looking up and trying pirating options, figuring out technical aspects, paying for a VPN, doing maintenance… Very few can and are willing to do all that.
