I’d been using Geometric Weather for many years, and I noticed a few weeks ago that it was misbehaving, not fetching data sometimes. I didn’t realise it had not had an update for almost 3 years!
I had switched to Google’s weather app, but maybe I’ll switch to this instead. Thanks for the heads-up.
I didn’t know Mullvad did a DNS service as well as a VPN, let alone that it has some ad blocking profiles. Thanks for that!
I didn’t ask for this. 😭
Not so sure about that, a quick search through my emails reveals emails from mend.io and codesandbox.io that had no trouble getting to me.
That said, I have found that even some sites that have .io don’t have it in their emails, they use a slightly different domain.
So maybe some sites have been whitelisted or it’s one of many heuristics Google uses.
As someone who has used this app for at least 6 years, I am very sad to see this happen.
I’m surprised they weren’t able to get away with it after the change in extensions a couple versions ago. By not shipping extensions that have copyrighted content that should have been enough, similar to how emulators, services like Plex and torrenting applications survive.
It’s effectively just a comic / manga reader that can be used for piracy when the right extensions are added.
Apparently that wasn’t enough, and I can’t blame open source devs for not wanting to start a legal battle with a profit-earning company.
For now, the app does allow you to add external repository’s (list of extensions for various sources) that are still being updated, and I believe there are at least a few forks of the project that will survive for now.
All I can say is great work to the dev team for sticking with us until now and I wish you luck in your future ventures.
Ah nepotism.
Not sure where you live, but I find it pretty wild you can fire someone without notice with no egregious misconduct.
Imagine having to sign an NDA to fix someone’s air conditioner.
I’ve been on that platform since 2014. It’s a mix of an anime tracker and a Facebook-like social media site. Used to be called Hummingbird.
It’s alright, if a bit dated.
