It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they’d submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.
I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.
Not in any order of magnitude
I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:
There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.
Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.
You don’t have to host only office to use the client. As others noted, it doesn’t do anything to combat non open standards, but it does work.
Check out Onlyoffice. Just the client (not the server part)
WAY better
Reinventing the wheel is exactly why we should use open source libraries.
Expanding on other unintended outcome here: Different projects have different values. This takes no account for something like Spring vs Apache Commons IO. Or Rails vs nokogiri.
Libraries will be incentivized into breaking apart to maximize revenue.
This isn’t really unlike the unintended consequences of health insurance and how it leads to overpriced services with lots of indecipherable codes for service.
It’s about how the system rewards (pays) for the service. I’m all for supporting open source, but the proposals in this thread are disturbingly anti open source.
This wouldn’t work for a few reasons, but the most glaring is that it would incentive re inventing the wheel.
I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)
Sure, I’ll just travel to places to verify the source every time when I consume news. That’s reasonable!
I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.
I wanted to downvote, but then I read it. While I don’t accept the premise entirely, I think the points are very well made and thought out well (even if taken to the extreme).
I couldn’t get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the “no catch all” feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.
I’m over on programming.dev (https://programming.dev/communities) – I really like the idea of servers and thus the sub /c’s being centered around topics of interest. I think there’s going to be a lot of “generic” lemmy servers still, but I sort of liked how “places” sort of picked lemmy.world, for example (though that’s starting to fade with lemmy.world becoming more popular).
If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.
