You can buy the MTX items InGame at the vendors. Still shitty to have the MTX but yea…

Stupid question maybe, but would your backups even be safe? Sure, it was mentioned that you had to enter your sudo password, but let’s say you did that because you are careless, “rm -rf” would wipe all connected and mounted drives as well, so your backups would be gone, wouldn’t they? Or does Timeshift mount and unmount on demand? If so, what would happen if you ran “rm -rf” while a backup is being saved?! It seems to me that a simple “make backups” isn’t enough here.

Building a commercial product on top of a free open source software is pretty awful practice

But as @Deleted said, a lot of stuff you use daily is based in some form on FOSS. Linux was just one big example.

I agree that building a commercial product on top of FOSS without giving back in some form is pretty awful practice. But the bold part is important. Simply taking something that’s free and open source and using it for your commercial product is not bad, it’s more common than you might think. But if you do that, you should give something in return.

Oh boy the face once he realizes that Linux is foss and who uses it.

imho the canvas was a bit too large for the userbase. Sure it’s cool that everyone got a spot but I liked the thrill of the “fights” every time two projects tried to occupy the same space. But I guess the “friendly nature” of canvas kind of reflects the current state of lemmy so it’s okay :)

Afaik a one-time-purchase to get rid of the ads is planned.
