I was worried of the same thing, but my purchase of several hundred CAD did not have any duties applied. Of course every country and even purchase can be different.

Good point, I imagine you’re right! I haven’t shopped many VPS services, I was venting about the general practice I’ve seen in other services before.

Scummy, but not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they’re in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.

Well a good indicator is if I have to check the source code of a packaged program to understand what something does, the documentation is not good enough. And yes I’ve had to do this far too much.

I agree, but I don’t think images should be relied on as the primary communicator. I have seen far too many forums/websites/docs with broken images because the host went down. That and archivers are more likely to fail at saving images. Explain it using text and give a reference image to further display the point.

File format? mkv, so convenient. But media codec would be h265 any day. I find the video quality to file size to be perfect for most films and only have issues with it on the largest files and the lowest power hardware (Roku TV). For the movies I really love and rewatch I sometimes get h264 for the better visual quality. I tried some AV1 files and found the artifacts really ugly, but admittedly these were very small files. That and the lack of hardware decoding on most hardware is preventing me from migrating.

The limits don’t matter if the provider raises their price next month.

Krita is a drawing-first program, so this makes sense.

I would bet money that phone makers such as Google keep storage low to steer people towards their cloud storage options.

I would happily use one for my music and movies to access them on the go. I already have copies elsewhere, so it would be no big loss if the card died.

They are, but mostly in budget phones. If you want a flagship camera or processor as well, you’re sadly out of luck. And god forbid you want a folding phone.

Why is every n two pixels higher than other letters and why is the line spacing overlapping I am uncomfortable

Yeah, a new messaging app is definitely a hard sell for me if it’s data/wifi only. I have Discord for unimportant internet conversations that can wait for me to burn data and texting for important things like work because I get unlimited texts. Having a separate app for a couple of people would be annoying.

Adultarr?

I didn’t know about that! Doesn’t seem to have a prompt for startup though?

This would all achieve the same as simply unticking “Use the selected profile without asking” option, which is what I tried to say before.

I would argue it is a Google project, not a Google product. I would say the same of webp and Android. The original project may be made by Google, however every implementation is vendor-specific and may not have any calls back to Google. So, saying “you are assured zero privacy” is not helpful when the lack of privacy can be prevented by the vendor.

Don’t know how no one mentioned this yet, but Firefox does have profiles. Unfortunately the only way I know to access them is using “firefox -p” via the command line. But you can set this to be the default way it launches within that menu.

I don’t see how it contributes any more than installing the Chromium-based Brave or Vivaldi, which are the comparisons being made in this specific thread.

Because it’s different for every website.
