Are there comparable alternatives? I never found another launcher that I like as much.

There’s no enshitification happening if the product hasn’t gotten any worse. It’s just a pricing change. In fact, if the pricing change does in fact lead to a better product then this is the complete opposite of enshitification.

While I was initially skeptical about the pricing changes, the more I learned about it the more I was okay with it. I think part of the initial problem was the talk of annual subscriptions, when in fact it’s much closer to paying for version upgrades. Their new standard licenses have come down in cost from the old perpetual licensing and the price of a version upgrade is only $36.

I’m personally happy with my taxes funding public services like CBC.

While you could argue that we get taxed a lot, and that our taxes are not always well spent, the average person receives a ton of value for the amount of money they put in.

One turns to the other and says, “How do you drive this thing?”

That looks to be a fake house that is used to hide some kind of city infrastructure. That would also make it a great place to put a hidden cell tower.

From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.

Honestly, I don’t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.

Spending $30 to own a brand new movie that just came out is not something I have a problem with.

However, not being able to download a copy of the movie you purchased is where I take issue.

I’m not really sure that’s a fair argument. Android generally pushes Google Play, and Samsung devices push Samsung pay. Sure, Android has more choices, but it’s still device manufacturers pushing their own products.

Of course Apple should allow competition within their ecosystem, but Samsung and Google are basically doing the exact same thing.

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

Cloudflare is also upping prices. Since Cloudflare sells domains at cost, I expect domain prices have simply increased.

I absolutely agree! It’s not a competition, we are all living in the same world with the same problems.

Families are at the centre of any society. Families function best when they help each other out. Parents are meant to sacrifice to help their children, just as their adult children should sacrifice later in life to help them.

It would be great if we could change the default sort option on our feed. The current default is set to All Communities and Hot Posts.

When I first open Memmy, I prefer to look at the top posts from the last 24hrs in my subscribed communities. I almost never purposefully scroll through all communities, unless I’m looking for something new to subscribe to.

Tron: Legacy

This is one of my favourite movies of all time. The story, atmosphere, and music are absolutely amazing!
