I hope it is going to be ok. Automattic has been involved with matrix before. Time will tell, but I’m more hopeful than afraid.
ptman@sopuli.xyzto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•[ANSWERED]libreoffice or onlyoffice?4·1 year agoYou’re sure you’re talking about OnlyOffice, and not OpenOffice. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are related. OnlyOffice is not.
ptman@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•X, formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet and retweet2·2 years agoI would also welcome decent micropayments (maybe digieuro?), so that you wouldn’t need to subscribe, but could pay 0.045€ for something without it being unfeasible because of fixed transaction costs.
ptman@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•X, formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet and retweet2·2 years agoMy point exactly. Why do we get ads on something we pay for with money?
ptman@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•X, formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet and retweet40·2 years agoI can only approve of people paying for services they use. It isn’t free to run. But there are several things to consider:
- $1/year is very low, transaction fees for accepting that amount of money are high
- It’s a low price for successful bots
- Doesn’t remove ads (take money from subscribers or advertisers, not both, also print media)
- Doesn’t give you better control over your experience. The paying customer should be the one being listened to
- This is Elon Musk’s twitter we’re talking about, how long until he changes his mind again?

ptman@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.ml•NASA moves a step closer to supersonic passenger flights11·2 years agoYeah, forgot the interrobang. But really, air travel is a problem. It needs to be minimized. Not increased. Especially not increased in amount of greenhouse gas emissions per distance flown per person
ptman@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.ml•NASA moves a step closer to supersonic passenger flights118·2 years agoThe problem is that those emissions cause more warming at that altitude. So fly just above treetops, please. https://oncarbon.app/articles/non-co2-effects-aviation you need to at least triple it
