Wait, what? Aren't batteries and chargers smart nowadays? I thought they automatically care about battery health no matter what the user does (apart from deep discharging of course)!


Probably not censorship but rather reasonable moderation and civility.


Unfortunately, those are considered censorship nowadays.


Only by toxic escalators.


Weird, my experience is the opposite. All journalists I met in person and spoke to have been critical towards anything in any way reasonable. Including their bosses and institutions. It's a merit of journalism for introspection to be normal and wanted.


Left and right are useless categories, trying to compare them is moot.


In general, yes. In this case - no, they're quite clearly defined.


When other people rely on your hobby it can be hard to just walk away. There is pride, dedication and the feeling of providing value in FOSS. But if others make tremendous amounts of money based on your unpaid work, and show entitlement to its benefits and free support or development, it is hard not not feel a tiny bit entitled for compensation.


If other people are making money off of your hard work... stop rewarding them with free work.

But it's nauseatingly entitled to just expect people to pay a person for their hobby. Pick a different hobby if it upsets you? There are other things a person can do with their time.


If it is nauseating to you, just ignore them. Pick a different hobby that's not complaining about other people's struggles it upsets you.

You made a good point for asking for money instead of providing free work by the way.


Or how you end up with a search engine for passion projects, open-source projects, community hosted sites and more.


The site is hosted on a .de domain, so there is a very chance that the author is German. It would have been nice if you had considered that before writing such angry and negative words about the author's work.


Where do you see the anger in my message? I thought that the "stroke" part made it clear that my comment was facetious.


"Reading what they wrote made me feel I was having a stroke" is kind of an unnecessary exaggeration. But yeah, my comment was as well. Fistbump!


You should feel bad he is also not a native speaker :)


That's inventing details that don't exist in the data though, correct?


Don't think so. Pictures have to be taken from multiple angles with overlaps so that summing them up contain the whole thing.


Sounded really interesting until I found that it is just another zero-sum exploitation scheme...
