Back in my day, we bought things once and actually owned them. Imagine that! You'd get a CD, a movie, a game, or a piece of software, it was a tangible item with a set price that was all yours. No strings attached.
Now? Everything's a fucking subscription. It's like renting your life, but somehow it ends up being way more expensive in the long run. Go figure.
This is why open source matters a lot. It still gives you freedom and whenever possible please support your favourite FLOSS app 👍
Edit: it wasn't because of Anubis. My bad. :<
~~~Today was the first time ever I hated Anubis. I hate scrapers even more, ofc, but c'mon, `wget src.tar.gz` used to just work :/~~~
Just thinking about cloud apps like Microsoft 365, Dropbox etc. and how we now have a generation that doesn’t know what performance looks like.
That’s pretty sad.
I have a 10 gig pipe to my *desk*, running an ultra low latency enterprise network stack, with high-end current generation hardware and the majority of my work is done in… electron and web apps.
By god it’s depressing.
