Already happening slowly? Look at genp

Do as we want and we will pay a 15% tax on everything. Otherwise, if you ignore us, we will pay a 15% tax on everything

Makes total sense

The problem is that you also get malware with legit premium plugins. I bought a $59 plugin on codecanyon and my WordPress install was hacked because it had an unpatched bug that allowed anyone to register as admin.

Did not get any single warning email from codecanyon or the dev, I just got lucky that the hacker was dumb enough to try to claim my site on Google search console and Google warned me immediately, so I could just revert a backup after understanding what was going on. Luckily, again, the hacker left the hints in the admin panel by uninstalling my “premium” plugin, so I understood that was how he could get inside.

If it’s a new website, avoid WordPress. It’s a security mess and extremely inefficient. I am burdened by this technical debt, migrating now it’s very time consuming.

The ai slop video for the introduction was really horrible. With all the millions the Italian government wasted on this, couldn’t spare a few thousands for a real artist to draw a simple transition animation between the Olympics? Or just green screen it…

The maximum price that I’m willing to pay for a brand new Xbox x (or whatever it’s called this week) is $150 and only if it comes with a blu-ray reader and two wireless controllers

I’m sure it’s not a service problem.

People have no problem in paying €500/year to watch 1 match / week only from a single device in a single household

1993 and they didn’t update the song for Czechoslovakia?

That can be fixed easily* with programs like beets

* = the program itself is easy to use, but installing and configuring it, requires a PhD in Linux-Arch-ology

Italian here: one Saturday I start to get lots of downtime notifications

I don’t understand what’s happening, because they come and go, I get hundreds of them

I connect to the server, waste four hours, everything looks ok but pages don’t load? Weird?

I go to sleep without solving the problem

The morning everything looks fine, so I can go to my self hosted news reader and I discover in my feeds that the FUCKING soccer league blocked cloudflare “accidentally”

The best part of our system is that if the block isn’t disputed within a week, then the IP address is permanently banned. Can it be more stupid than that? Do they really think that pirates won’t change their ip address?

We gave the keys of our internet to two litigious copyright trolls

And this exclusively harms honest people because pirates just use a VPN. I saw pirate websites that when accessed from an Italian IP address have some legitimate content, need to access from a VPN. So the block is completely useless

The way he wrote shows he’s more concerned taking down “pirate” versions of compiled files rather than the trouble of supporting windows users

I’ve worked many hours attempting to get these sites to remove the content, and I’ve managed to remove most of them

easy and effective way to dismiss without argument bugfix requests on operating systems the developer doesn’t care to touch

if you ask $60/year to each user to support an operating system, then it’s better to have first-class support with maximum issue priority

This is the most expensive music player app ever commercialized

Did I understand right that you are forced to side load an APK and create an account to use the camera paid with real money?

I tried once to compile sm64 on windows and I took over 1 hour and dozens of gigabyte to download and install all the prerequisites, plus visual studio clutters the start menu with lots of “useless” shit, normal people gonna get pissed

Winget just downloads an installer from the source.

Microsoft doesn’t provide build time or hosting space (except if you’re using GitHub)

Repo only contains URL to download and hash for check

On Windows? Where you need to install visual studio and 10 gb of libraries?

Access to macOS and Windows releases are currently restricted to sponsors, a 5 USD monthly sponsorship is required.

What the fuck?

Fuck that, isn’t this just a maintained fork of clementine??

And I tried this player, it’s nothing special

I could understand a permanent nag button like nanazip, but $60/year where most of the hard job (libraries, decoders, base ui) was done by someone else for free?

I’m blacklisting this shit even if I’m a Linux user

Yes, get them separately

If you are on Linux the best option is to run this:

https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Basically a small “virtual machine” that assures that the torrent traffic always passes through the VPN. No VPN=no traffic

If the house was purchased before 2023, theoretically they get market value +15%

But still it’s a waste as we all know from the beginning that the project will never ever be completed, it’s from the 80s that’s “will start soon”
