Hold on, racism? We are talking about racism? Did I miss something?

Buying at the right time is the best way to save money.

I bet every company has at least one employee with right-wing political views. Choosing a product based on some random quotes by employees is stupid.

Maybe you should reconsider your threat model. You seem to be very light on information. If political views is an issue than you’re the issue.

Why is it bad though? This business is in no form related to politics. It wouldn’t change fundamentally even if Hitler ran it.

I’d use their VPN even if Hitler owns it. It’s private, secure and they stand to their values with respect to that. Why would I care about political views? Politics don’t change the service on a technical level. Literally don’t give a shit.

I know you enjoy hating on Reddit but what you’re saying doesn’t make any sense. Reddit is an advertising business. Bots don’t view advertising but adds infrastructure cost. Additionally, humans are way better at engagement with the platform and people than bots.

It’s in their best interest to suppress non-human conversations. What are you talking about?

Their current structure is still profit-oriented. You should read the article maybe.

I mean, he lost an entire country’s BIP worth of wealth in a single day. Some people still think he has it all in cash on his bank account or something. Either they are incapable or they don’t want to understand how the world’s economy and market works.

How can a service be a Nazi even? Can emails be racist nowadays?

Open-source projects like this require dozents of full-time developers. It will be dead without a company like Mozilla running it. Imagine the Linux kernel with only hobbyist developers…

If Mozilla is doomed, so is Firefox. You underestimate how complex Firefox is. It’s almost as complex as the Linux kernel.

If you decide to use Nextcloud don’t use the default photos app. It’s trash. Use the Memories app.

The contract states you don’t own it and they can take it away any time. So why are you stupid to sign it? Buy a physical book if you don’t like it. But there is no justification for piracy like “I don’t get exactly what I want so I now decide that I have the moral right to do whatever I want with indefinitely.”

You payed for accessing the content the way it’s described in the ToS. I expect you haven’t read the ToS. It’s a contract. Violating that contract is piracy. There is no argueing about that. If you think piracy is morally okey then that’s your thing and your opinion that I respect. But it’s definitely piracy.

Then that was the answer. Everything you selfhost will work offline.

You’re working for the same corpos and you’re getting payed. You’re part of the system and you’re profiting off it. We get rid of DRM tomorrow but you get a 20% salary reduction. Would you do it? I think you wouldn’t. So why would they? You guys are pretentious and can’t think past the simplest complexities of an economic system.

Nobody is eroding consumer rights. The consumer rights haven’t changed. Maybe it’s time to change that. Change legislation and stop pirating like monkeys.

By subscribing you agree to a contract. The company is doing no shitty practice since everything is black and white in the contract. You just don’t like the contract. But the consequence should be to not sign it.
