If I’m reading this correctly, the headline is…very inaccurate.
It looks like a dispute between two developers in Organic Maps, who both started out at Maps.me, specifically over whether their CDN redirector should be public or private.

Someone’s concern for privacy can change throughout the day or at different locations. To keep the metaphor going, they might be fine with the top being open while they’re driving, but want it closed when the car is parked.
Same here. The learning curve is higher on Vespucci, but once you’re familiar with it it’s extremely capable!
Moving stuff is slow because I don’t want to just copy it all over, I want to decide what to keep in the process.

…decided what they want the outcome to be, and formulates some kind of argument that results in that outcome
You might say his results were…predetermined
I’ve gone back to Blu-Ray for some things because I no longer trust streaming sites to keep them available.
Same here. I have a few applications that I had to specifically turn on Wayland support for (Thunderbird & Vivaldi, for instance), and a lot that work just fine, and the ones I have issues with are mostly the X-only apps running on Xwayland, which tend to be less stable than they were directly under X, but there are only a few that I still use.

Political organizing is a great example of something that shouldn’t be owned by this kind of firm.
(Followed by every other kind of organization. The concept of treating “business” as a set of interchangeable parts that move money in and out of opaque boxes and not actually focusing on what they do and why is massively broken IMO)
OK, I like the comment here wondering about the thermometer’s range: “things with an interesting temperature are generally uncomfortable to hold your hand next to. I’m sure there will be at least one support call because someone tries to measure fire from 1 inch away.”
When someone named Kafka says it’s the “weirdest”…that says something!
I learned the term “glass cliff” when she was hired.
The rest of the page? Probably. I stopped reading after the comic.
I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.
It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.
So the $140/year subscription they’re already collecting isn’t enough for them?
I guess this is as good a reminder as any to look at what I’m actually using Prime for these days.
If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.
But that doesn’t help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.
I’m using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren’t supported in the corresponding app.
I’m using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.
Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.
I’ve only installed a handful, but they’ve all worked fine except for KeePassXC-Browser - and that’s partly q known issue with a workaround and partly Flatpak (which made it hard to apply the workaround)
