Like @skye pointed out, I suspect it might indeed be based on region. I remember another thread where a user reported seeing Sync rated at 3 stars, whereas others reported 5 stars.
This type of comment and attitude is what reeks in FOSS. Really unfortunate.
Nope, because I don't have an issue with paying for something that I like and enjoy. Don't like to pay? Nobody is forcing you to. Stop lambasting others for their choice.
I'm all for FOSS (currently working at a company that contributes heavily to FOSS) and am a huge supporter/contributor of FOSS, but the level of entitlement and superiority complex that I've seen from many in the FOSS community (including yours) is highly unappealing, and at times frankly revolting. That's what truly reeks and stains FOSS.
Your original reply stated that "including heated seats and making you pay once to access it is fair game" is what prompted my reply. Users shouldn't be paying for it if it comes with the product, disabled or not.
I have no qualms about subscriptions for FSD due to continuing developments and improvements, and the fact that it requires a service running AI/ML models to operate. However the drastic subscription cost changes over 3 years raises an eyebrow. From $5000 in 2019 to $15000 in 2022 is quite a drastic change. They certainly have the right to price how they want, but definitely an insane pricing model.
If you pay to add a feature to a product that was previously not available, sure, that makes sense. But in this case, at the point of the transaction, and they hand over the keys, the ownership of the product is now 100% transferred to the customer. They should and can do whatever they want with their property. A manufacturer equipping a feature because it's cheaper is frankly not the customer's problem.
Imagine buying a house but you only get access to certain rooms. They set the price, the customer just pays for it. If they want to cover the cost of adding the heated seats feature, then add it to the starting price.
And that's a perfectly fine and respectable position to have. In the mean time, I'm gonna go find where I can enter my credit card
As a Sync user, I support this comment. The fact that these debates occur is precisely due to the fact that people have the freedom of choice, and that's something to celebrate.
Sync doesn't have to be "better" or "worse" than other apps and vice versa. People should pick what they like. I pick it because it feels like home after having used it for almost 10 years. Doesn't mean it's better.
I hope you realize that many innovations we use today on Earth is thanks to innovations created for space exploration. It's unfortunate that many don't seem think be able to see that.
Given the sheer amount of data on Reddit, this is really not feasible nor scalable, nor is a long term solution. A simple CloudFlare configuration will quickly put an end to such a solution.
RSS exists, however only allows you to subscribe to subreddit posts, not comments.
This is why the API changes are such a big deal.
