People being excited about getting spam from a scammer.

What a time to be alive…

Yes.

It also gets some free publicity by claiming to be federated/decentralized without the user having to make any actual choices in regards to a server (because there isn’t really any choice).

It’d be funny if the other companies caught in the crossfire now sued those LaLiga assholes for blocking their services.

How about both?

I’d expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they’re only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.

Until the GPU cooks itself anyway, because nvidia can’t admit their new power connector was a mistake.

I was in a similar situation, I just told them I’m cancelling the account when they added the extra charge for extra users, and they’re free to make their own account if they want.

There was a bit of complaining, but it turns out no one missed Netflix enough to come back.

I mean… when did it stop being huge?

It’s just back to business as usual.

Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.

I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
It’s pretty unusual.

I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.

The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.

But they won’t, because of the license.
And neither can the Bottles devs.

If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.

It’s kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can’t say it’s very surprising.

Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they’re the only ones that are able to do it properly.

Holy shit, this company is based in France and they’re publicly doxxing their users in the replies.

I don’t even know what to say, under GDPR they’re extra fucked now.

In my case it refused to ever mark me as idle, which meant I never got any notifications on mobile…

Works fine with a plugin, so clearly it can’t be that hard.

Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?

I never really compared the source to the converted mobi, but overall I can’t really complain.
Usually if the formatting is a little screwed up I assume it’s the source’s fault. :)

Almost every book I read nowadays is an epub converted to mobi.

Honestly, the bigger issue I have is the inability to put the sideloaded books into a series “folder”.
Instead I had to set Calibre to add “<series> <number> <book title>” string to the book tile in the metadata. :/

Pretty well written post.

On Kindle and epub: it’s pretty annoying, but once you set up Calibre to automatically convert on sending to device, it’s effortless.

OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!

The comment is already removed now, but OP’s post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there’s no moderation.

Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn’t helpful for anyone.

And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?

Did you comment in a wrong thread?

Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.
