They have all the right in the world to do so, but I have a lot of trouble with them insisting that this is “not a subscription”. Let’s call a spade a spade. It’s a subscription to get updates, with a perpetual fallback license. The only difference with JetBrains’ model, which offers the same for their IDEs (which everyone calls subscriptions, themselves included), is that Unraid still offer a lifetime tier on top. But the lower tiers absolutely are subscriptions. If it was really a “version upgrade” thing, they’d tie the payment to major versions, not a time period. It’s a time based payment in which you get something in exchange during the payment period, therefore, a subscription. The word may have connotations for them to want to avoid it so much, I won’t pretend it’s not what it is…

Otherwise, for what I actually use Unraid for, they just put themselves out of my price range and it probably won’t be my next NAS’ OS. Outside the “use any disk size” RAID-like solution, there isn’t much keeping me on the OS, and I guess I can deal with setting up MergeFS/Snapraid…

KDE6 took a week or so, didn’t it?

I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

Dunno if it’s really an Android vs iOS thing considering I’ve been on Android since forever before the last 3 months. But yeah it probably has to do with usage patterns, of how you use your phone. I barely ever use mine two-handed unless I’m typing more than a sentence or two. I mostly navigate and interact with apps more than I type.

I was kind of adding on top of it. Didn’t think I needed to say it either, but here we are lol.

I don’t disagree you may find it comfortable, I just genuinely don’t understand how you do it. I guess you don’t mind the shuffling around that comes with typing a button in the opposite corner of the screen, but I personally do. When holding my phone with one hand in a position I can type in and the phone just won’t slide down to the floor, my thumb just doesn’t reach the opposite corner of the screen without shifting the phone in my hand.

Hot take: “thoughts and prayers” and “doing nothing” are the exact same thing

I have really big hands too, and even with those, really big phone sizes are just not practical, IMHO. Unless one has giant NBA player tennis racket sized hands, past 6” to 6.2”, you just can’t comfortably hold your phone and reach every part of the screen without shifting it around all the time.

Interesting. Do they tend to have the same kind of returns?

[–] folkrav@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (5 children)

They mention monetization. Pretty sure you can’t monetize shorts.

Edit: So seems like you can, but they don’t generate much returns, so might as well say you can’t lol

Gotta appreciate how I Googled that phrase, clicked on the first YouTube link, and the very first comment was along the lines of “US conservatives reacting to mass shootings”

I mean, she’s from that wave of American-fashioned, modern reactionary conservatism. Of course she’s repeating whatever BS the companies she’s shilling for want her to. Trump made them realize they don’t even have to try telling the truth. They just need to spout enough nonsense to rile up their voter base, and for the part that doesn’t stick, play dumb and say it’s not what they meant (or hell, just never even address it). No need for facts when you can just make up your own…
