Ah. That makes sense!
Ah. That makes sense!
Surprised that nobody asked about their recent purchase of an advertising company.
Depends in what field. Proton, at least, doesn’t scan your email contents and metadata to sell it on to advertisers.
libreddit to the rescue
Honestly I don’t mind the price hikes as much as the enshittification of being forced to watch ads again.
I think the only answer is “Doom”
I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.
Slightly misleading title, I was surprised that the Russians advanced to Kyiv with 36 tanks.
Here’s what they wrote to users in an email:
To our amazing Affinity community,
Today marks a momentous new chapter in our journey together.
I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.
This is a moment of great excitement, anticipation, and profound gratitude for all of you who have been part of our story so far.
We know that those of you who’ve put your faith in Affinity, some since we launched our very first Mac app, will have questions about what this means for the future of our products. Since the inception of Affinity, our mission has been to empower creatives with tools that unleash their full potential, fostering a community where innovation and artistry flourish. We’ve worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo, delivering professional-grade creative software that is both accessible and affordable.
None of that changes today.
Etc.
The last word is what I am really worried about: today. It doesn’t change today, but what about 6 months from now?
This is a really really worrying development. The best selling point of Affinity products was the lack of subscription. I am convinced this will be the end of owning or software. I abandoned Adobe for a reason, I will be sad to abandon this excellent piece of software when the subscription model comes in.
Hard work and dedication.
It’s down as well.

“The Grayzone” - yeah bye
I don’t think it’s about a craving for centralisation but for newcomers and people still learning the core ideas about decentralisation it’s about a promise of more active engagement and more varied content.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use water to extinguish fires? I don’t know if AI is a good flame retardant but it seems like an expensive thing to use.
