I do not understand why would a developer (or development team) change the licensing terms of their software for something stricter, like Redis did. Could someone tell me what the factors are?

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of trucks in my country have a "dead angles" sticker that shows something similar.

This just goes to show you that Google will do anything for money.

The OP means "under 18-year-olds".

The API pricing was imposed to crack down on free training of LLMs with user data.

There were also other API changes like totally removing access to content marked as mature. I don't know if subreddits can disable setting a post as mature because automods can't detect it or see its content.

Passwords are a very simple system that has been used since antiquity, its distribution in the Roman military having been described by Polybius.

Passwords found use in early computing. The Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS) developed at MIT in 1961 implemented a PASSWORD command, which only hid the characters to be typed.

The notion of hashing passwords was created in the early 1970s by Robert Morris. He also invented the crypt(3) algorithm, which used a 12-bit salt and invoked a modified form of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm 25 times to reduce risk of pre-computed dictionary attacks.

The ease of implementation is why password-based authentication is used everywhere. But I might argue this is too simple and can be exploited by attackers. Year after year, a new hashing algorithm becomes considered not secure enough.

Okay, so Apple still has some time to think about the design of a phone with a replaceable battery because they haven't released one yet.

The main reason batteries couldn't be replaced in newer phones is because that made designers of the internals not care about the battery's shape, which meant they could insert more good tech inside. The battery normally had to be rectangular for easy insertion/removal. Even though this was the real main intent, manufacturers started capitalizing on this.

Unfortunately, only Europe. Because manufacturers still want to capitalize on those "not easily removable" batteries in the rest of the world.

Terrible idea. If someone likes your instance so much, they'd probably be happy to pitch in and donate.

Want money for hosting, but you're not receiving enough donations? Just get a job! It's not like you only stay at home to watch your Lemmy.

Ads will never, EVER become a built-in feature of the Lemmy software. Try implementing it yourself, even though Rust is not an easy programming language to master.

This stems from how other instance admins reported issues with scalability of Lemmy's multimedia storage, and the fact it can inflate cloud costs very much.

I was actually hesitant at first, because I didn't know of a good alternative. Then, there's Lemmy that I've heard of. Since lemmy.world has been compromised, I chose this server. I still haven't escaped Reddit fully. However, the fact the board at Reddit Inc. accepted and implemented the new API pricing made my decision to come to Lemmy quicker.
