I can understand a subscription if it is directly related with the running cost of the service. But if it has no running cost for the manufacturer (e.g. you buy printer ink) it should not need a subscription to function.

microtransactions.

revanced youtube music. i started collecting stuff in a youtube playlist a long time ago, and at this point i’t be quite a hassle to switch, so i always put it off. also, you can’t really beat the simplicity of discovering a song through the algorithm and instantly having available on all devices without having to faff around with downloading it to a selfhosted insert service

Good luck detecting that with any kind of client-side anti-cheat.

The game will now only play on a “secure” display, and the anti-cheat has privileges to monitor the entire chain from the GPU to the display. Non-conforming monitors or devices in the middle break the chain of trust and the game refuses to play.

And then cheaters will shift to a camera pointed at the screen…

Client-side anti cheat is an endless cat-and-mouse game.

Well, how great that my company is just now switching from Azure DevOps Server to GitHub Enterprise Server…

it does too many things, thus going against the unix philosopy of “do one thing and do it well”

you can do “wifi sharing” which shares the phones wifi connection.

Indeed, the unary plus operator tries to convert whatever is after it to a number if it isn’t already. Since ‘a’ is not a valid number, it returns NaN (not a number)

lots of styles like to open a chapter on the same side, so if the previous chapter is one page short, you pad it.
