I sure hope not, I hate cloud streaming services.

Right now the only budget alternative is to wait out this ram Apocalypse, however long that may take…

Depends on the price, most people don’t want a 1k euros console.

In my country we do have a ton of public chargers but car owners report that it’s more expensive than gas. You either have a way to charge at home or it’s just not worth it.

What are the other wallet options?

No email service can refuse to obey the law. None.

Proton is at least non-profit now.

When I use the linux or web client it asks for a selfie with my ID card when I try to enter a server.

Works fine on Android.

Contacted support, they say my account is not flagged as underage but I have to submit the photo anyway. I told them i won’t.

Sneaky, aren’t they?

Nop. Disable it in the settings/apps

I also don’t have a Gemini app but if you search for Gemini in the Settings main menu, it shows up.

My argument is not targeting people who pretty much don’t have a choice.

It’s that those who can afford a choice, and sometimes even complain they’d rather support green/fair/local businesses… they aren’t ready to pay the greater prices for those products. They want green/fair/local but cheaper than amazon, that’s never going to happen.

The problem is that users are reluctant to pay more for the same product.

In my country the difference in price for a dozen eggs laid by free vs caged chicken is 1 euro. The caged chicken live their entire life in an overpopulated cage and are never allowed to walk outside. People don’t care, they’d rather save 1 euro.

Companies like Fairphone seem to advocate for the values you describe but they can’t possibly provide the same price of those other “dirty” companies. While most people sees the benefit and appreciates the values of such a product, they just aren’t willing to pay more for an inferior product spec wise.
