I do not understand why would a developer (or development team) change the licensing terms of their software for something stricter, like Redis did. Could someone tell me what the factors are?

Yeah right. The name literally reads "sue you". So funny.

If you don't pay for WinRAR, the only thing it will do is show up notices to buy it. This is intentional, meant to prevent piracy. So it's more like a donation rather than a purchase.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of trucks in my country have a "dead angles" sticker that shows something similar.

This just goes to show you that Google will do anything for money.

Only those energy drinks that have artificially added caffeine or taurine are going to have their sales restricted to those over 18.

The API pricing was imposed to crack down on free training of LLMs with user data.

There were also other API changes like totally removing access to content marked as mature. I don't know if subreddits can disable setting a post as mature because automods can't detect it or see its content.

Unfortunately, only Europe. Because manufacturers still want to capitalize on those "not easily removable" batteries in the rest of the world.

Terrible idea. If someone likes your instance so much, they'd probably be happy to pitch in and donate.

Want money for hosting, but you're not receiving enough donations? Just get a job! It's not like you only stay at home to watch your Lemmy.

Ads will never, EVER become a built-in feature of the Lemmy software. Try implementing it yourself, even though Rust is not an easy programming language to master.

Same here! Though my Reddit escape is going to be slow, it's sure.
