In the universe with 20-30% of actual inflation development costs will always rise even for indie because devs have to eat something and live somewhere. Not to mention software licensing and equipment

That’s a con and a pro of decentralized net: if you don’t like the owner, pick another instance or create your own and be the king. Bad news is, every instance is controlled by couple regular folks who’re not responsible financially so they can imply their own rules and post and ban whatever they want.
Like the jungle: you gotta learn to survive and avoid the monkeys with rabies.
That’s pretty much the main reason I migrated to proton pass… was bugging me for a year I think
Worth to note that their audio quality and anc is worse than competition noticeably. So its quality vs environment
Throwing money into the fire to escape responsibility does not work? No way!
Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
I thought I was alone in this lol
Win11 literally made me rage uninstall it after I got mad trying to remove all bloatware and then it showed me onedrive ad
Kinda jealous tbh, I couldn't get my Google news to actually work and it was 40% spam 40% clickbait 20% American news (and I live in Europe)
Yes its one time for android, if you're earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there's also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you're just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well
From the perspective of FOSS developer:
I simply don't want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.
Android has more ways to distribute, and the "official" way is one time €25 fee and that's it.

My boss legit says that he will give me some time to work on it every 2-3 months and then drops a “customer requires X feature and I promised that we will deliver in one week”. And mind you we have to patch up to 3 major versions in the past to back port the new feature because client haven’t upgraded and won’t in near future… which means sometimes our major releases are 60-70% same as our minor patches for old versions. Semvering much?
