IANAL so please don’t take my word for it. But if I understood it correctly, this is indeed legal. You don’t have to offer your stuff for free. And as long as you let the user decide if they want to pay with money or with data, it’s legal. The important part is, that the user needs to give consent, which is the case here. Not talking about the morality of it though.

Every car I owned so far was a manual and only rentals were sometimes automatic. But that’s purely due to cost. I dive out of necessity, not for fun and an automatic is so much more relaxing in stop-and-go rush hour traffic than a manual stick shift.

I need to look it up again, but I read about a study that showed that the results improve if you tell the AI that your job depends on it or similar drastic things. It’s kinda weird.

Du könntest dir mal Processing ansehen. Das ist eine grafische Bibliothek, die in einer IDE gebundled ist. Man programmiert das ganze in einer Java-ähnlichen Sprache. Ich habs selbst noch nie benutzt, aber hatte in der Vergangenheit schon mal Videos vom YouTuber CodeBullet gesehen und er benutzt das um seine Mini-Games zu erstellen. Das sah eigentlich recht gut und intuitiv zu benutzen aus.

Building a browser is a very difficult job. And I don’t mean a re-skin of Firefox or a Chromium fork but an actual independent engine. There are Servo and Ladybird doing this, but both are years away from being seriously production ready.

And if you need it in a browser, there is Collabora, which exists as a paid business version with support or a free non-support version, that can easily be deployed with Nextcloud. Another alternative would be CryptPad.

If you also need your mails in your browser, there are multiple providers like mailbox.org that offer mail encryption even through the online mail interface.

That resonates so well with me. Attending all the meetings, discussing feature requests and evaluating their feasibility is so exhausting. But working overtime for a few days to find and fix the bug that completly halted production? No problem!
