I agree about the “everything in one place”; besides that, in terms of shopping, there’s not much to it. In terms of services there used to be some pretty neat stuff, e.g. unlimited cloud storage for photos (including RAW files) for something like 50 EUR/year, but of course they axed that.

Plenty of alternatives for everything, just maybe a little less convenient.

In terms of media, I don’t stream from paid services; whatever I pay for is either at local shows where I buy CDs from artists directly, or through label stores, or through outlets like Bandcamp (btw it’s Bandcamp Friday right now until the end of the weekend, go support what you like).

Can’t remember the last time I bought something from there to begin with.

I remember that term. It was short-lived.

You have to also consider that when 5" was big, bezels were big too. With today’s thin bezels the same physical size that used to hold 5" could probably hold 5.5".

Because apparently people want big phones.

For the last 10-15 years it’s been a boiling frog situation really - .1 or .2" increase every generation until 7" somehow becomes the norm (for a phone, not a tablet, mind you).

I wish there were more small hi-end phones too.

Politics aside, I’d be curious to see how far something like this can go. Can’t not think of Opera Software - even they were not successful while they were using their own proprietary tech.

Can someone explain how something as generic as a keyboard can be a subject to patents?

TIL! Thanks!

While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

CEOs gonna CEO.

I feel that many Russians are against Putler’s regime, but are (rightfully so) too afraid to speak up.

Speaking from experience?

Okay, that’s new.

“No, thanks, I’m vegetarian” is a useful thing you can say when someone hands you their baby.
