I just recently tried to log into my old icq account. It didn’t let me unless I provided a phone number so I noped the fuck out.

And where would you store your Bitwarden login TOTP if you used their service instead of self hosting?

Senior what? Accountant?

On a serious note, maybe just let people work however they like to work? Dark theme everywhere has been such a blessing for me as it is way less straining on my eyes. (Almost everywhere, fuck you google calendar. Wish I didn’t have to use you at work.)

• Bring a toothbrush for trips longer than 3 days

Tf you only brush your teeth every 3 days??

Why does anyone or anything need to be useful?

And maybe usefulness depends on the perspective. Maybe this axe could be used to demonstrate the importance of material choice in products.

Strongbox or in your case probably Strongbox Zero. Costs a pretty penny but well worth it in my book.

This is by design. It’s called dark patterns.

What’s the threshold for when someone is automatically wrong based on their age?

This is the answer.

Stop supporting Duolingo.

Didn’t read the article but I wonder how many people will now sub for a short period and cancel.

Like say you have a group of 3 and 1 person subbing indefinitely before and now there might be 3 people subbing for 2-3 months each. For a period of a year that’d be 12 months vs about 9 months.

So right now they might have increased their subs and revenue but it might change over a longer period of time? Or maybe people are just too lazy and will keep their subs. Who knows.

Ok, now I want a game that mixes Dorfromantik with Dwarf Fortress.

Your „free“ option just requires buying hardware that enables all of it and an intensive setup process and knowledge which might be quite time consuming.

It may be a good solution but it’s far from free for many people.

Since you took the time to leave such a lengthy response I’m going to reply, although the discussion here is pretty much over.

It’s not the single parts but the culmination of all three points; data harvesting, subscription and paid gems (yes you can buy more). Everyone has to make their own decision but for me it justifies never wanting to have anything to do with a company.

I think you are overestimating the value of “real”, if “real” can even be defined much less proven in many cases including love. Just look at religion and social media for examples of what the human mind is capable of creating an illusion around.

Don’t get me wrong, I do value things that you probably would consider real. But who am I to say they are.

I still had the app installed on my iPhone because I wanted to learn a new language a few years back. Just recently checked their App Store page and saw extensive data collection, monthly subscriptions and some kind of “gem” currency. Immediately deleted.

Maybe that’s a recent change. I know I was able to log in, browse and add to watchlist a few months ago without having an active sub.

You can log in without having a sub. You just need to create an account on the web.

The OP is about not being able to do anything without paying. Not about not being able to do anything without an account.

Have you checked in the actual app? The App Store page often shows legacy info. I know it was possible before, but afaik they changed it some years back.

Last I checked you cannot sub from within the Netflix app.
