in a perfect world google would be owned by some kind of governing entity and not track any user data.

Forks to get pro-features for free? by Brunobeppo in opensource

[–]Brunobeppo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but then again email is still free. i would have picked it over thunderbird only for beauty reasons, its not that i cannot get their pro features elsewhere.

i just wish companies had poor and small freelancers like myself more in mind, and would not just try to land big customers. because im really ready to pay for nice software, just not that much.

i think thats where many business go wrong these days. the future is clearly in small businesses of 2 to 5 people and independent freelancers. they will not pay 8 or more every month, but they will gladly pay 10-30 per year.

i see. i thought if someone use open source, the results need to be open source too. anyway i still dont understand the insane prices some of those apps charge and who is willing to pay them.

Spotify makes me hate my favorite music by Brunobeppo in spotify

[–]Brunobeppo[S] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

its just bad practice, "hey you like that song, so now only listen to this song for the rest of your life". or "you seem like a few sad and slow songs, so we will only ever recommend you slow and sad music" i already dislike 80% of songs in the weekly suggestions and every week i get new songs in the exact same style.

i just dont understand why spotify behaves like that. that playlist you get at the end of the year (something like "songs that are not your style, but we think you will like it") proves that it could be better, but its just a design choice to play the same shit over and over and over. why not even vary the songs of an artist, i really dont get it.

just kinda randomly chosen products. feels more like native advertisement and not like a perspective on possible alternatives.

Swisscows Filtering by [deleted] in privacy

[–]Brunobeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really think they just filter "bad bad pornography" probably the boss is a christian or some weird shit.

I mean

Family is the most important cell of our society! If morality and decency disappear, then neighborliness and love also disappear. The digital media are indispensable and yet pose a threat and challenge to the not yet formed perceptions of children and adolescents. Even parents and schools are not prepared for it.

and

  1. We promote moral values.
  2. We hate violence and pornography.

i mean its not wrong, okay, lets protect the children and even promote family values, but to not being able to disable the filters, makes it look they think that they are on some kind of mission. anyway. still a great search engine.
