:(

maybe i’m a bit odd for my reason but i don’t like their price model. that they try to price themselves like a mobile contract where things are cheap initially so you subscribe and then they get more expensive once you are in their ecosystem. no company that really cares to do right by users should do things like that.

and this despite them wanting to be a non profit company? i get that you still gotta make money of course but you can also do that by having one month and 12 month cost the same or maybe mostly the same.

and on top of this then there’s also that? this is the same browser and the same cookies i just once googled for their vpn prices and once i went over their general pricing page that started with mail pricing and then switched over to vpn pricing. i’m not logged in with them or anything.

one tries you to buy into a two year plan and the other into a one year plan but why do they even have two different types of trying to get new customers kind of deals and one is worse than the other? just makes me not like them.

while i don’t use them as my main browser it feels vivaldi is one of the few ones who at least tries something new. who isn’t just trying to emulate chrome with a few quality of life ones. i remember them introducing tiled tabs, stacked tabs, the tab bar on the sides or the bottom, way before i’ve seen any other browser do that? might not have been the first with all of those but at least firefox, chrome and edge didn’t have that as an option back then

no it wasn’t. but if they can blame ai they will.

for one, the term AI has become loaded and anyone using it has to know what kind of baggage comes with it. but for another this isn’t just anything with AI. it’s OpenAI specifically. this is not just a neat science thing it’s a company doing indirect marketing and whitewashing of their tech. trying to get a better image than what i and many think they deserve.

so yes people will not want to let this type of marketing and image whitewashing happen will downvote.

i hope this is the nuance you were missing. it doesn’t change anything on my dislike for this tho. as cool as it might be if you ignore everything else that surrounds this headline.

i used this in the past. is pretty neat and has various ways of notifying you about the change, ever discord notifications

ah the game that had framegen from 15 to 30 fps in as part of its minimum recommended specs

i hate peter thiel but i also hate nvidia and tesla so i hope this ends out somehow being bad for everyone
