Well, while I don’t understand their stubbornness of supporting Google drive, (Google restricts it so much? Ok then just remove it and blame Google. Replace with Dropbox/WebDAV/ftp/whatever) IMHO they’re right about the piracy. Years ago I tried to be an app developer for Android and iOS and I personally experienced that iOS users are willing to pay for everything. The in-app purchase to remove ads on iOS was bought by many, while on Google play literally a single person got it. Maybe it can be simply that because iPhones are 5x more expensive than the average Android (in my country there are no carrier locking and no carrier discounts at all), then users are wealthy or they’re adult workers, while kids and students get the cheaper Android phones.

I closed both dev accounts years ago and now I’m android user. As an user, I simply cannot imagine paying $5 on Android for a glorified text editor with all the free alternatives that are available. Maybe android users are cost conscious?

This is the top 10 most sold apps in my country:

  1. Game Booster 4x Faster Pro (users tricked by deceptive ads)
  2. e-Connect (an app to manage a specific home security system)
  3. Threema
  4. Obd torque pro
  5. IPTV extreme pro (used by pirates that want to watch soccer)
  6. Peakfinder
  7. Metronet (an app graphically identical to e-connect but with a different icon and name)
  8. Analog Rolex Royal Watch face (with obvious trademark infringement but of course Google doesn’t care)
  9. Tasker
  10. Nova launcher prime

Now, this is definitely alarming.

A smartwatch watchface is the #8 most sold app in a country with 30 million android users???

#2 and #7 have a combined download count of 20k! And are in the top 10???

Peakfinder is the #6??? How many people in October are trekking so much that they need to know which mountain are watching???

Tasker and nova launcher?? Yes I also bought those two apps but are for power users, the 1% of users.

Why would you purchase a license of Adguard when ublock origin not only is faster and better, but it’s also free.

I can’t even understand the concept of purchasing a license for a browser extension.

it’s nice and faster than woocommerce, main issue is that almost every extra feature is provided by a plugin that needs a subscription and i hate subscriptions, i prefer to get a permanent license and pay extra for a new version only if and when it’s actually updated

Thirty bees is a fork based on an ancient version of prestashop (1.6, released TEN years ago). While it’s much better than what prestashop was at the time of the fork, IMHO it’s better to go with prestashop 1.9 (now called 9) if you need any extra plug-in, as third party developers abandoned support for 1.6 a long time ago.

I don’t think that a swiss ministry is significant at all in this question. While the headline says “Switzerland” as the whole country, it’s just the opinion of a single person in the government.

It’s completely impossible that he got bribed to say that, or that he has other personal interests, right? It never happened in the history

This is a non-news

It’s like saying that my grandma agrees to something a YouTuber said about a tiktoker, China and Brazil are in a different continent

The aggression is one sided, once that side stops and retreats from the invaded lands, there’s immediate peace. That’s so easy.

Well, they don’t appear to use them as propaganda. When Travis T. King crossed the border, they arrested him and not used as propaganda “see? He hated SK and USA so much”

Same for Otto warmbier, instead of “see? After he saw our wonderful country, he wanted to take a piece of propaganda back home to always remember us” he was arrested, tortured and sent back dead.

I do not recall any situation when they used something like this as positive propaganda instead of a public execution

When they did that experiment on YouTube showing how wonderful is life in north Korea (if you’re a daughter of the elite), it lasted until it suddenly went like “Winston Smith never existed”

Source for what, the executions? It’s the North Korean government itself, since those are public

gdkchan? Who’s that person? My username is gdkchan2 but it’s purely a coincidence

Main hassle is to set up the disposable bank accounts in tax havens

as of now, nobody took the place of yuzu devs, for example

suyu (the most famous yuzu fork) got just 50 commits in the last 6 months and are almost all of them are tiny changes to the readme where they only change the discord link or just memes
