It did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.

I use the same combo on my phone without any issues or ads. Why use a client on the phone?

This post is sadder than some of the warnings we get the world is about to end.

Where is this?

This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I’ve ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.

Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.

Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I’ve ever owned.

Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I’ve tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.

I’m sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it’s actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.

You could also just stop using sites that don’t work in Firefox. Also https://webcompat.com/

Really? Bunch of open source tools like Bitwarden and Firefox support passkey. Are you saying they all use and pay for licensed code?

I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it’ll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.

Let’s go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.

I have a split keyboard, but it includes a num pad. To be fair I was mostly kidding. I realize there are as many opinions on the keyboard as there are people. I also write code occasionally for work, but I wouldn’t sacrifice num pad for space.

I understand, but I’d rather lose the space for mouse next to keyboard than the num pad and I don’t even work with spreadsheets.

Haha, I knew I can trigger one of you guys :-)

Jokes aside that’s an awesome keyboard, just not a useful one to 99% of users out there and I can honestly say I’m on the opposite end of customization spectrum. I have 2 aliases in my bashrc, but if I need to switch to a new computer I can be up and running in 15 minutes while the rest of the team needs 2 days. And even though I’ve had the same computer for the last 5 years, I don’t work noticeably slower than anyone with a ton of customization on their pc.

TKL? That’s your own fault for buying a defective keyboard that’s missing a whole section just because of aesthetics.

The only correct answer is num lock. Caps lock is sort of correct, but it’s a stupid key on anything that’s not a typewriter so I usually disable it so the only correct answer is num lock. No exceptions.

You mean num lock, right? Ctrl actually does something.

My phone translates anything on screen in more or less real time. If the post looks interesting I can read it no matter the language.

Maybe dumb question, but how is it even noticeable? I listen to music in the car and in $100 earphones and usually just ask phone’s assistant to play shit based on my mood. I honestly can’t even tell which service it chooses between Amazon Music, Apple Music or Spotify. What’s the difference exactly?

This is not a typical extension and it cannot be removed. It doesn’t even show up in the list of installed extensions.

Your conclusion is based on only one side of the story. And this story is coming from an unnamed business that’s using social media to shit on a provider that dropped them.

But even assuming that’s true, name any other large provider that would behave differently. AWS will terminate your services instantly and their support is even worse than CF. Apple is the same and then will take 2 weeks to reply. Google is a ghosting champion.

Just to be clear I’m talking about B2B relationships. Not end user communication.

If the article was about a non profit or a legit small business with a web presence, I would agree with you. We’re talking about massively risky business with spectacular profit margins.

I just don’t believe that CF suddenly realized these guys are rolling in money and wanted their cut. The risk just wasn’t worth it to CF confirmed by the fact that they did not negotiate at all and happily lost the casino as their client.

We’re easily making enough to pay $120k/yr to CF, but they are not creating that much value for us and we’re not introducing any risk to them so what we pay makes sense for both sides.
