@cuddle @offtopic About cost coverage, it’s true … but i feel they could do money differently.
With these resources, and brains … why piss off people?
Subscription doesn’t hurt if You have … idk just for phone number etc.
but imagine now, every company works like this, and in order to use anything You need to monthly pay …
Do You really imagine having like … 20+ subscriptions? I know a people who have netflix, they pay … but … don’t watch anything at all 😂
If i pay for premium, i will show them “this works” … and they will continue …
Have a nice day!

Ofc. He later “changed mind” … but microsoft never change. In the 90’s they tried force users to use their browser too …
well, this also changed recently with Edge … but usually they repeat the same thing over and over again testing boundaries of users and looking how much they are able to ‘accept’.
I don’t remember full history of Windows, but i noticed they repeat the same old sh**. Just dressed in new clothes.
Sometimes i feel this could be good material for public.
Yes, He do this for years. That’s impressive! 👍
I also remember times when iBSD was active for a while.
I started with emacs thanks to him.
He have successes like https://www.fsf.org/news/libreplanet-2024-cultivating-community-will-feature-a-keynote-by-david-wilson
I understand that (everything good requires time). There’s a lot of things i still learn on FreeBSD. I love poudriere, and i hope one day i will publish some ‘starter’ for people who knows gentoo.
btw. compiling rust here is annoying too.
Btw. Guix is great, @daviwil makes great content in this topic.
@stefano I was thinking about the same, some time ago. This also could benefit this place.
I’m really grateful that this place exist, and i hope more people will prefer this over reddit/discord or other junk.
Thank you!

Okay but, who learned people to make money on youtube? … google!
People made content even for free in the past!
Because google started to pay, now You have like tons of creators that make cheap content just for clicks.
And yes, there’s very little of good and quality content. There’s very little number of creators that makes very good job.
The others just want to clickbait You and waste Your time on stuff You can find out in minute on the web.

If they force ads You will have max 15, maybe 20 minute video … Now how much time You will waste if we get forced ads + creator sponsorship block on the video timeline?
IDK how others but, if i need something, i search on the web and buy it. I do not see point wasting my time by hearing another “this video is sponsored by” or watching ad about something i’m not interested, or i do not need at all.
I’m too strong, and they are unable to create a need in me with ad … this is complete waste of time, and because this is MY TIME … they should PAY ME for wasting THAT TIME.
I’m adult and I RESPECT, MY TIME. I do not feel i should pay someone for this, this is insane. It’s better off not wasting time at all and buy a book.
“It’s really hard to make money in other way than ads.” - yes, and no one told us before we born that anything will be easy 🙂
About netflix, i promise You that … any tv show i watched, was with sub.
And i told my sister that if we get release of another season of Arcane, Wednesday, One Piece then we get sub for month and watch stuff we want.
I respect Your POV, but when it comes to ads, i do not feel this is okay.
