It just opens the web app

It's worse than you thought.
The webmail provider released a dedicated browser that can only open the webmail and called it a "desktop" app.
Additionally, they don't support IMAP. There's an app to run on your computer that becomes a bridge. The proprietary protocol is translated to IMAP. You can't use your favorite client if your operating system can't run that bridge and you're not a premium user because for "reasons" only premium users can run that local bridge
Wait, there's a web viewer for iwork files? Does it allow to save as a PDF? But I guess it wouldn't handle missing fonts
My iMac is gathering dust. It can't run Debian due to proprietary video shit, so all I get is a black screen at boot. Tried fedora and my USB mouse doesn't work at boot, I have to unplug and replug every single time. Who knows what kind of proprietary assholery they did to the USB stack
I should just sell it but I'm keeping it for "what if one day I need to open some iWork files?" - although i already proven a month ago that it would not correctly open iWork documents created with the latest version
Probably this might be related to why tencent removed cloud backups from WeChat. It used to be like telegram, when you login it loaded all the previous messages, now when you login using the sms confirmation code you need to ask (with a different chat app!) three friends to send you a session specific passcode and then all the previous chat history is wiped clean.
(It was a problem to login back to me as I didn't have three friends)
Wait, is this a tweet with a YouTube comment?
Main problems are:
-
Link rot
-
Sneakily inserted sponsored links
It seems like incorporated in Rhode island around the time Nintendo sued Gary Bowser for the switch modchip
They don't have it. It's a limited liability company so in this way they will pay only the sum of their assets (=bankruptcy) which is lower than legal expenses against a Goliath and definitely lower than 2.4 million. I'm guessing 1000x lower than the settled amount or they wouldn't have reason to found the LLC in first place or to settle this easy and this fast
Why would someone pay to train a LLM on Tumblr???
At least Google paying for reddit content, would have something useful mixed with all the memes.
But Tumblr would definitely poison the results
I noticed now that tether (a crypto coin that claims to be 100% backed by USD) printed 10% of what the fed printed in 2023.
And a similar amount for usdc
Surely all those freshly printed crypto coins are backed by real dollars
The bridge Is "open" but somehow it works only for premium users.
