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?

In the universe with 20-30% of actual inflation development costs will always rise even for indie because devs have to eat something and live somewhere. Not to mention software licensing and equipment

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

Great core gameplay, multiple boring or just bad patches; devs who care more about their imaginary milsim being close to their imaginary reality than about player fun; slow content rollout (still no new race despite them being leaked many months ago)

In the end I had my fair share of fun but I see no real reason to come back.

Then don’t use it or don’t complain

Spotify is cheap and that’s a fact. What’s the point of complain about single free music service?

Just… pay? It’s very cheap.

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.

That’s pretty much the main reason I migrated to proton pass… was bugging me for a year I think

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!

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

Removed by mod

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
