How does this appeal to people? I like goldfish the same. Though Whales are cheaper and taste okie.

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn't a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It's word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I've had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

There's another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.

Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn't get directly released to the public?

.. or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it's deceptive to imply they don't say it's local.

If you don't believe them it's one thing but they said what they said.

I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.

I guess I'm one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.

Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.

Probably bureaucracy. Also an inability to pivot even when things make no sense. Everything is a giant freight train that has very little ability to change direction or stop.

Oh and of course a healthy taste of not being transparent or honest.
