Why? Do you really think Google started out evil, and not step by step by implementing "improvements" similar to this one?

I’m not planning to move anywhere tbh.

I do. If they go through with it than they're not much better than Google.

If they don't have enough money maybe they could start with cutting the CEO's pay.

I don't know why, but personally it really rubs me the wrong way.

It's not really "false advertising", since it's not a paid app, but still...

Real open source alternatives exist, but they require Spotify Premium to actually stream music legally straight from Spotify.

But it's not a Spotify client, is it?

IIRC it uses Spotify APIs to generate playlists, but that's all.
Actual music gets streamed from YouTube.

Seems like Organic Maps aren't saints either.

Apparently the recent lack of updates on F-Droid is due to them including referral links for hotels and refusing to remove it or make it an opt-out feature...

Here's a relevant issue if anyone's interested: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/7218

//edit
Looking at the discussions it's even worse, the devs try to argue that F-Droid is being unfair and referral links shouldn't be "misclassified" as ads...

It's probably something with your OS.

People like to meme about Nvidia being unusable on Linux, but before switching to AMD I was running various Nvidia GPUs for more than a decade and they were always rock-stable.

I guess the data that says they spent too much money on hydrogen tech that is now unlikely to pay off.

That's a really bad argument. People smoking in public do force me to huff the second hand smoke.

Better question, what kind of a scam company charges for redelivery?

It's not only legal to assume, it's a requirement to default to "no".
Tracking is opt-in.

I doubt they do. They just want to be "secure" and are unwilling to admit setting the level at "highest" is bullshit.

It's not like you can easily get a new number and circumvent this "security" measure if you want... /s

I don't know if I'd call that "admirable". It's not the first time I see Gnome team basically telling the users "STFU, we know better".
