My boss legit says that he will give me some time to work on it every 2-3 months and then drops a “customer requires X feature and I promised that we will deliver in one week”. And mind you we have to patch up to 3 major versions in the past to back port the new feature because client haven’t upgraded and won’t in near future… which means sometimes our major releases are 60-70% same as our minor patches for old versions. Semvering much?

Same guy who said that if something exists for free there’s no reason to charge for this

That’s a con and a pro of decentralized net: if you don’t like the owner, pick another instance or create your own and be the king. Bad news is, every instance is controlled by couple regular folks who’re not responsible financially so they can imply their own rules and post and ban whatever they want.

Like the jungle: you gotta learn to survive and avoid the monkeys with rabies.

Worth to note that their audio quality and anc is worse than competition noticeably. So its quality vs environment

Throwing money into the fire to escape responsibility does not work? No way!

They’re big but not even close to goliaths, their 24h online is at 40k more or less, which is nothing like CSGO or apex… Their all time high is less than apex daily active sadly.

I’m not saying their system is bad, but I am saying that it is still not tested for a large scale though.

I thought I was alone in this lol

Win11 literally made me rage uninstall it after I got mad trying to remove all bloatware and then it showed me onedrive ad

Pretty sure it’s crazy expensive on a large scale, I don’t think that people will pay monthly fee to keep playing apex/val/insert game. And more than sure these companies will try to force players to pay for it :/ Previously I had a small chat with aimlabs devs about application of neural networks for it (detecting weird patterns and irregularities, that what NNs are good at as well) but as I understood it would be expensive as well since obviously you want to run the model on your backend’s side… It’s and endless war between both sides without silver bullet ATM and I don’t really understand why people are so mad about my comment lol

Many people criticize that, but I can’t really think of any non invasive solution to draw away cheaters, except making specialized device to play the game (sort of PS4 to play one single game only?), but pretty sure it won’t take long for cheat providers to crack it as well… Sadly.

Kinda jealous tbh, I couldn’t get my Google news to actually work and it was 40% spam 40% clickbait 20% American news (and I live in Europe)

Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

From the perspective of FOSS developer:

I simply don’t want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.

Android has more ways to distribute, and the “official” way is one time €25 fee and that’s it.

If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I’d rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.

are you really trying to say that chromebook can do more than m1 macbook lol

please show me an example of working in blender with chromebook

I guess (in their mind) their laptops are “premium” product and making a cheap one will lead to brand damage.

Plus, I remember how bad was previous 12 inch macbook, people will probably be very catious about it (if they ever make one)

What? Apple is still releasing good laptops, m1 makbook air was unmatched for its price for like 2+ years and is still a machine that can last 6-10 hours under workload

No, I’m just genuinely interested, that’s it. No negativity.

How many times did internet petitions actually changed something

or else they will block it in norway
