Yeah, for them, not for the community that they tried to fuck over.

Oh, they did something with it – cancelled it. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/25/23889917/youtube-premium-...

Same reason as why people append "in Rust" to titles. Marketing.
Re:Amazon Prime Video content to start including ads next year on Friday September 22, 2023 @09:06AM (#37611513)
I cancelled nearly all my subscriptions and set up an old notebook at home with Jellyfin and qBittorent + search plugins. Pretty simple and satisfies my needs.

Every ORM basing post is like this. Some dude is dissatisfied with Hiberante/GORM/SQLAlchemy, declares ORMs as an "anti-pattern", then proceeds to reinvent the wheel.
> I requested ad free subscription for elevated price or promising cancellation, it became a cancellation.

I listen to the audio edition nowadays, that has no ads. Also, I haven't found any good alternatives to it. The weekly issues and the regional columns are a very convenient format for me to consume the news.

SponsorBlock is the answer.
The Economist does this too. It's infuriating to see ads in the app when I pay for a yearly subscription.

Re:A Readable Techcrunch Feed on Monday May 08, 2023 @09:08AM (#35861161)
I can totally understand the OP's frustration with TechCrunch's website, and with cluttered, bloated, obfuscated websites in general which only aim to maximize the time the user spends there by confusing the fuck out of them.

This is why I read sites like The Economist (finite number of articles, released weekly) and RSS feeds. So tired of the attention economy.

Re:Update to Kagi Search Pricing on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @04:37PM (#35158112)
I tried it out today for a full day to see whether I should quickly subscribe to get the legacy professional benefits. I found having a limit on the number of allowed searches really uncomfortable. So it is a nope for me at this price.

Also, the search engine market is really heating up. We have - Bing with a GPT chatbot - Brave Search with lenses, similar to Kagi - DuckDuckGo with a limited chatbot - Swurl is cool as well (but I think that is just a frontend for Google)

...and they are all free to use. I am not sure if Kagi will survive another year with this business model. IMO, they should focus on freeing themselves from Bing's API and build their own indexes to drive down costs, and also drop anything AI related gimmick, and embrace the UNIX philosophy: do one ting well.

Re:Docker implemented in around 100 lines of bash on Sunday October 16, 2022 @07:17AM (#33222765)
I actually replaced Docker Desktop on my M1 Mac, because even after quitting the app (properly), the qemu VM kept runing, and running my battery. I like that I have more control over the processes with podman. `podman machine stop` and the vm is gone.
Welcome to the future!
