4·7 months agoIndeed, it is very reasonable.
It strikes a balance between subscriptions and perpetual licences.
Beside mentions of Jetbrains license model, I would like to mention the license model of a note taking app called Agenda[1].
It has a subscription wherein the customer retains the software and all of its functionality even after the subscription expires. One may resume the subscription down the line if they see a new feature worth having.
The creators of the app liken it to a magazine subscription wherein the customer retains the magazines even after the subscription lapses.
From my own experience of using it, I purchased the license for a year back in 2021 and let it lapse as I did not find the any of the new features to be worthwhile. I still keep an eye on their updates as it is my daily driver.

This meme is from an older time when all of this was true.
For all the people here commenting here about macOS updates being free forever, I guess they haven’t really used the OS long enough.

Should the meme be updated before it is eventually reposted? Yes. But should it misinform people? No.
Posy - a channel about anything (along with some really fantastic music!)
4·9 months agoI’m already about to ditch Voyager for putting emoji’s on my app interface.
Is this about the new account highlightenator thingy that shows a 👶 next to new accounts?
If so, it is actually a good QoL feature, and it can be disabled under Settings -> General.
1·9 months agoOh. Maybe I didn’t look at the website thoroughly. Can you point me to it?
E: Found one.
Congratulations on the anniversary!
Will you be offering wireless variants of these boards in the near future?
31·10 months agoYes. The !bangs in DDG are for convenience and not for privacy. The convenience of not opening the intended website, and typing/pasting the query to perform the search.
This is incorrect.
DDG just just performs a simple redirect to Google with the query, where the latter has access to cookies, past usage (especially if one is logged in to Google), etc.
“TSFKAT”.
Fewer letters than “Twitter”, expresses more than “X”.
I have seen worse names (“X Æ A-12”) get more eyeballs.
Pareidolia in its finest form - as a rage meme!
3·1 year agoI read a post that mentioned the community migrated to Lemmy.
Had to scroll a bit to see Mlem’s mention.
I believe it was the first native app for iOS around the time of Reddit API announcements. I am waiting for it to arrive on App Store.
The app suffered a few delays as the original developer bowed out due to the toxicity and pressures from building the app. Though the app is being developed under a new team, and is coming along well!
Till then wefwef FTW!
Speaking of, if wefwef can figure out the niceties of iOS (tap top to scroll to the top, haptics, etc.) I would gladly continue to use it. It is a really well made web app.

1·1 year agoThe vote is at 420. A tough dilemma. Upvoted.
For a moment, I thought this was real.
Only when I went on Twitter to see if the tweet is authentic, I noticed the total shitshow there with the reading limits.
Zero regrets on moving to Mastodon.
1·1 year agoThis one?
1·1 year agoWow! I did not know Futurama is coming back.
Looking forward to it.
Hope this prompts Disney+/Hotstar to put back the series along with the new season.
I too was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon the app a few years back. The licence model was a major factor in choosing the app over the rest.
