One price, indefinitely for the rest of your life. The developer isn't maintaining any infrastructure, there's no ongoing cost whatsoever, so there's no reason for monthly payments.
It's just a static file on your own computer that's burning your own CPU cycles. Sorry, but it just feels a bit greedy to me.
Which ones help most with that? I'd like to try it sometime. Have you ever done it?
No, it doesn't. You're just making a baseless assumption. There's nothing wrong with asking a neutral question.
I wasn't implying anything, just wondering why it needs to be in the title.
Why does it matter that she's Mexican?
What's wrong with weird gloop? The RuneScape wikis are very high quality, same with the Minecraft wiki. Cook and others running are transparent and seem to have good intentions.
There are pictures of Taylor Swift doing the same gesture, etc. The premise is exactly the same: a vague hand gesture doesn't mean he supports Nazism. You can't distill a vague gesture like that and try to claim it's irrefutable evidence of someone's beliefs, it's nonsense and you know it.
Elon has repeatedly stated he does not support Nazism in any way, yet that doesn't mean a thing to you because it goes against the picture you're so desperate to paint. You intentionally ignore it, which makes you dishonest.
Why don't you give equal credibility to his statements that outright deny that he supports Nazism, rather than cling to a single vague gesture that he clarified had nothing to do with it?
Oh, right. Because you only accept evidence that fits your narrative.
The real question is, what's wrong with you?
It clearly wasn't a Nazi salute, but you'll believe anything if it discredits people you don't like, so no amount of logic or evidence will change your mind.
> “It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,” he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat — there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even human."
Sorry, but there's absolutely no way to defend such a disgusting person. It's ironic how much they pull the Nazi card for sympathy, yet they are the closest to genuine Nazis that I've ever seen in terms of hatred and desire for genocide.
Truly unforgivable actions by the state of Israel.
Sounds like a really rude workplace. Who cares if he wants to try running things locally?
None of this has anything to do with "white replacement", or being "blind to privilege". You're stretching a totally reasonable viewpoint into "evil racism" because you don't agree with his point of view.
So you try to slander and discredit anyone who thinks differently than you. Same playbook every time, so boring.
You might think differently, but I think hiring someone based on their race to meet arbitrary racial quotas is insulting.
I'm very glad I wiped all my comments on Reddit before they became so stingy and idiotic about API keys. What a horrible company, can't wait until they go under.
I'm using hyperbole to showcase a point. Most of the alarmists here on HN genuinely believe that democracy is ending and Trump is the next Hitler. I'm not dramatizing, that's what they actually believe.
Stop being so delusional.
Don't throw around such immature generalizations. The world isn't black and white.
Seems like he's living rent-free in your head every single day, that doesn't sound very healthy. You should stop being so angry.
If you hate him so much, the best thing you can do is ignore him completely. Do not give him any of your energy or time, instead of obsessing over him. A username like this is definitely on the obsessing side.
Screaming pointless obscenities into the void doesn't cause any change, it won't change any outcomes or minds. So why waste your time complaining on a random computer forum? Doesn't really make sense to me.
Don't forget Nazism! (AKA, anyone who isn't left-wing.)
There's nothing inherently wrong with pausing immigration visas. These commenters act like anything less than fully open borders and unlimited immigration quotas makes you Satan reincarnate.
They intentionally over-dramatize everything he does to spread fear and alarmism cause that's all they can do. It's so tiring and nonsensical.
I can't believe people are still pushing these same propaganda talking points over and over. You people have overused the word Nazi so much, that it has no significance anymore. To you, it's a synonym for "people who aren't left wing that I disagree with".
It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
Some people understand that there is naunce in the world. This is literally just the view of a single sponsor.
The way everyone gets so up-in-arms about the political views of a person three levels detached from the company is insane.
"Oh no, an individual with different views than me offhandedly mentioned Proton, the horror! I can't possibly differentiate between the views of a company and a separate individual!
Let's go grandstand about canceling our service and discouraging others from signing up because a random person thinks differently than me, and talked about the company."
Sounds about right to me.
I'm really hoping we can get over this silly delusion soon.
This definitely feels true, yeah.
I'm trying to imagine a use case for this, but can't think of anything. Maybe Desktop mode + full/real Linux apps?
Fellow RuneScape enjoyer haha. I've been playing that game since I was eight years old! Just got my 20-year cape last year.
RuneScape is a service though, and this definitely isn't.
That's absurd. I've gotten value from my toilet plunger for years. Let me start charging you a toilet plunger subscription just for privilege of using it when you please. That's your logic.
How can you in good conscience charge a subscription for this? It would be one thing if the app relied on infrastructure, but it's a one and done algorithm that runs on entirely locally on device!
Subscriptions are charged because the developer needs to maintain the upkeep and cost of running the service, but that's not applicable here. It's capable of taking a million photographs fully offline, without any reliance on an online service.
Essentially you're saying your product is so superb that people should pay you indefinitely just for the privilege of using it. Even though it costs you nothing to maintain, you somehow need people to perpetually pay you for a local, offline algorithm that you wrote one time. How gross.
Shame on you, honestly. This is exactly what's wrong with modern software nowadays. Just like Adobe and all these other greedy companies, taking advantage of people to milk them dry forever. You'll lease a product, you'll own nothing and be happy about it.
All media conglomerates will have a field day with this. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox have all been caught doing exactly these kinds of things.
Don't act like the left has never lied or manipulated their stories, they're all equally terrible and soulless.
You don't have to install Google Play Services at all. If you have to install it anyway, then Graphene's implementation seems a lot more mature than microG or any other solution out there for /e/ OS.
Why are you being so aggressive?
