Same, I don't want stickers, emojis, gifs. My phone and 4G connection really don't like them but there's no way to switch them off

You can just turn off receiving all messages from any user. This is specifically for people who told their friends that they don't want to listen to voice messages and want texts, but friends still use voices. Every one I know has a friend like that.

For a long time it was ran on money that Durov made from VK and it's selling deal and had no ads, almost perfect development. It was a ton of money obviously, but we all knew it would run out sooner or later and then everything would change. I bought premium once because I wanted to support the project, and I still use it. Hopefully I won't have to use anything else, because I hate almost any other messenger.

Edit: forgot "would"

And it's dirt cheap

Before the war in Ukraine I had stable 1 Gbit/s for 5$/month with two dedicated IPs

Here in Ireland you get 100 Kbits/s sometimes because they can't pull you a fiber connection and 4G towers are overloaded to hell, and it costs 20-40€/month

He took "lets fuck up some commas" too seriously

That's the point, DRM would force everyone to use a "compliant" browser (Chrome, or extension-free Firefox etc), and the other browsers might not be able to show content; they may also lock the content from copying and editing without special tools, just like website video DRM works now

But we already see "sorry you're running adblocker so no content for you" websites, so I'm not sure if that's gonna change much

Anything containing WebGL and anything containing complex CSS/JS animations comes to mind, also Canvas (even though it rarely used, still lags like a motherfucker), Firefox really suffers in that regard, but they recently promised that they will fix it; and I remind you that because of hardware decoder legal ussues Firefox sucked very hard at 4K and 120 Hz YouTube on Linux for a long time too

There are others, commonly created because Firefox focuses on privacy, and so, for example, all internal website timers can only count by 0.1 seconds because anything less will open you to tracking vunerabilities, often settings sacrifice performance for data safety like this

Chrome defaultism, and so websites are usually made for Chrome, often disregarding testing on Firefox completely, and so they work a bit worse here and there

Also no Google connectivity

Wikipedia is really bad at explaining things, it's written in a way that you have to deeply know all of the surrounding topics to understand what is going on

I used to think that it's too hard to set up a suspension on a car because the Wikipedia pages are all weird and undescriptive, but it turns out it's very simple for something like a double wishbone, there are even visual calculators out there

What's on Racing4Everyone? Steams/videos of motorsports events? Racing games?

You can set up your printer in the same area you work in (if you work from home), and audio fire alarms can be used

My father used a web camera and a remote controlled solid state power relay on his tabletop CNC that he locked away in a separate room so he can look after it
