Wish the homeserver portability would be worked on more. The ability to change homeserver would really allow people to more easily move on from matrix.org.

Myself included ;).

Optimally it would even allow the switch "after the fact", so after your original homeserver is down, assuming your client has a local copy of the server-side secret storage. It would need to be based on some cryptographic identity then, I suppose.

Personally I believe free trials are a great idea, and businesses should be able to offer them eithout the risk of losing actual business to it l, while at the same time I believe people should be able to make an informed decision before entering a payment (even more so to a recurring one).

This could be arranged by a simple request from the vendor that confirms you wish to pay or not when the trial ends.

To me this sounds like a perfectly reasonable requirement that doesn't try to trick either side of the transaction.

And how about web-based services? Fingerprinting goes only so far. Good for statistics, not good for preventing people from a free trial.

Without that it would be quite easy to abuse the trials, no?

But certainly moving to paid subscription should require an active action from the customer.

Sama. Turisteilin helsingissä ja hotlan löydyttyä piti parkkeerata. No, eipä löytynyt nopeasti, eikä kelvannut pyöräparkki jossa joku kilpailijankin skootteri oli.

Does he already not have the opportunity, robot or not?

Yeah, with mpv you can even hold the jump 10/60 sec forward/backward button pressed and the frames just fly in the screen. Vlc seeking is really slow in comparison.

I'm also in a one-party consent country, and I've found it sometimes useful to get back to some calls just to find out some details, such as agreed date/time or some detail of a discussion I had with my mother. I would enjoy an automatic text translation to be stored alongside them.

I miss the feature now that I have Pixel 8.

I used syncthing to sync them to PC. Size-wise I have so few phone calls (work meetings excluded, which they are as they are over Slack/Teams) that all of them will fit most any modern phone easily.

What do you use for spreadsheets on Emacs? At least org-modes tables are there but aren't quite it..

They presumably assume they'd be selling so little that it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

They'll probably wait out this situation for a while and see what the competition does..

That's a bit surprising, given DDG uses Bing, Bing is Microsoft and Microsoft owns Github.

Did you try the same search with Bing, or have an example to share?

I non-ironically have a certain favorite brand of bacon mostly because it comes with 12 slices. .

I still prefer metric for other measurements.
