Software maintenance does cost a lot, it's a full time job. Most people don't pay foss or any at all ( winrar or total commander case ). Most people won't be able to maintain or adjust foss on their own... Foss doesn't work forever ( it's a pain to deeply depend on foss which stops being maintained ). It's a reality that 1 year fallback license is necessary evil

Keepassxc. I'm a little skeptical to hosted solutions

@rglullis@communick.news my honest recommendation is to switch to the plain text only mode and disable file / media upload if it's possible. Hosting plain text data is cheap. Let them share links only to their cdns, servers or ipfs for media

Try asking DeepSeek something about Xi Jinping. "Sorry, it's beyond my current scope' :-) Wondering why even it cannot cite his official party biography :-)

They force paying customers ( yt music premium & yt premium ) to disable ad blockers, too. Why? If I accordingly to the contract shouldn't get any ads why they would need to punish for blocking ads which shouldn't exist :-)?

Does it fix anything btw? I'm just wondering how it does work after all

Most of the non tech people reaction

I propose to conduct following experiment: we close a cat with juicy beef steak and juicy lettuce. We remove the owner and all people from that room: we only watch that cat with cameras. Guess what will be eaten :-)?

Honestly most of the modern movies are so bad that even nobody will most likely want to pirate them

Photography manipulation existed almost since the invention of photography. It was only much harder see the famous photo edition https://www.history.com/news/josef-stalin-great-purge-photo-retouching

Because people cannot block darn windows updates. Its a real malware only allowed by law

Easy, Slavic languages have declination of names. Both first and last names. Some last name are gender specific (different suffixes for males and females but considered "the same"). Have fun in non-slavic countries trying to convince the officials that you have the same last names (mother and the son).

Only Finnish, Hungarian and some non indo-european languages can beat us (like Chinese or Japanese).

I'll give you a small excerpt of very known Polish comedy (it's very dark humor but well). Germans will understand at least 50% of it (please have some humor :-))
