Paying for software is an exception, not a rule.
And we only have proprietary software because there's greedy people out there that take advantage of people who don't know better.
With that said. I'm not saying that developers shouldn't get paid for what they do. They absolutely should! And a lot of them do, even when the code is free as in free beer and free speech.
Jag har letat förut, men allt jag hittat har varit dött. Det brukade ju finnas lite aktiva grupper förut, men det var innan sociala medier osv blev en grej.
Datorföreningar har jag däremot sett att det finns några aktiva idag.
I've been using Mailbox.org, both private and for my business, for 5 years now. I have nothing bad to say about them or their service.
Well. I would like to see a referral program! They have a lot of paying customers because of me, but you don't get anything in return.
Those sounds interesting. I'll have to look them up. Thank you!
Thank you! I'll look them up. :D
I'm fully aware of that, this is partly why I would like to avoid a Google account, even though the only thing I use it for, is YouTube. I don't like Google at all.
A local-only client (or something that's at least privacy respecting) is what I'm looking for, which is why this I submitted this topic. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you! I'll look into it.
Thank you for the, well.. human reply! :D
I know all about this, both from a moral and technical standpoint. And I have seen the algorithm do this multiple times, but I'm aware of it, and I only watch wholesome family friendly content, which is mainly about tech, bikes and coffee. I don't care for politics, drama or anything like that, which is why it's quite easy to spot the dark rabbit holes I get presented with from time to time. :)
Recommendations from friends only work if you have friends. I do get recommended videos on social media (which is the fediverse for me), but it's rare. I actually like checking my inbox, and if I don't feel like watching something there, I just go and see the rekommendations, which is not always good, but they do have some fun stuff from time to time. I have found most of the channels that I subscribe to there.
Oh! That is a no go for me then. I only use open source software.
Thanks! I'll look into them and the controversy.
Thanks! I'll look into Freetube.
Heat or no heat, if you leave your kids at age 2 and 4 alone in your car, you're clearly a stupid idiot who lacks all form of intelligence.
It really angers me when their stupid actions affect innocent and helpless people like these two poor kids.
