They absolutely would've been able to grandfather users that paid before the subscription was added. Pure greed and they know you can't do anything about it aside from leaving a bad review.

AITA for screaming at my oldest because he didn't call me when his brother showed up at his apartment at 4 in the morning? in c/[email protected]

There's a reason he went to Joseph's place instead of home...

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser in c/[email protected]

I've never been unable to access a site on Firefox due to DRM. There is a prompt asking to run DRM-enabled media, but that's it.

Edit: or is there something about Manifest v3 that will get Firefox blocked somehow? IDK how as I would think it would be easy to pretend to be compliant.

If you have the funds, donate to Mozilla. They're not only the main developers of the only major competing browser engine, but also do a lot of other good work. You can hope for others, but with Firefox only having single-digit usage share it needs all the help it can get.

I've been on 4-5 MVNOs with Pixel phones. Am I just lucky, or does Google not allow these shenanigans?

How are kilts any different from boxers or, like, most other clothing? I don't think I've ever crushed my balls sitting down.

YSK: If you find an interesting topic/rabbit hole, you can get some real engagement here if you share it. It doesn't get drowned out like elsewhere. in c/[email protected]
