In your example would you ever donate money to a developer for software you had never used and have no intentions of ever using?
You might donate to a projects developer because you want them personally to keep on with the project, but that would likely only be ontop of the other reason that you want the software you are using to continue to be developed.
Otherwise it would make more sense to donate to charities.
It sounds like the latency is really important here and not necessarily the bandwidth. That makes sense.
After breakfast I would think. Any other time would be rather inconvenient.
I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.
I recently switched reading modes from "horizontal" page scrolling to infinite vertical scrolling and it made me read so much faster. It's really quite weird that it affects anything at all.
As for "supporting the dev" I don't really get this concept. Do you know them personally? Surely the point would be to support development of something you want rather than the people behind it. I'm in favor of supporting software development if it doesn't violate any of my principles such as being adware.
It would still be nice to look at how someone did something even if implemented poorly to make redevelopment quicker.
As for why people don't do this they might just not care or believe they will maybe get back to it again someday even if that is years in the future.
As far as I can tell ReadEra non-premium doesn't have any ads. This means the paid version is only about buying extra features rather than removing ads. This is a very respectable business model in a world where almost every other app out there tries to annoy you with ads until you pay them.
I use ReadEra regularly, but I think I'm going to buy the premium version since you brought it to my attention. The syncing feature could come in handy between my phone and tablet.
I host a website on my Synology as well as frequently connect to it via SFTP. I don't know how secure it is, but I don't keep anything secret on there to begin with. At least based on permission settings it shouldn't be possible to access anything you aren't set up to.
I've also been looking into setting up a pi-hole so I would be curious what kind of affect that would have on a Synology on the same network.
Whoa, Dave again? Surprised to see you here so soon,
I love Dave. I just want him to be happy. π
Dave... I don't know how to tell you this, but.. you are dead.
What's with that one episode where Data expressed emotions briefly and Deanna was able to sense it? That makes very little sense. π
