How it worked in history: if we take away the wealth from rich people and spread it within the ruling classes, then every peasants are equally rich, or poor.
If we take the opportunity of education away from every students, then they are equally dumb, which means they are equally smart now!
The government of China let developers sell un-built apartments to future residents. The residents not only paid down payments, but took on a mortgage obligation for an un-built building. "The majority of new properties in China — about 90% — are sold before being completed." - CNN. This produced a terrible incentive for developers to do huge numbers of housing starts and then not finish the building.
In most of the rest of the world, developers have to finance construction with their own money or a high-interest construction loan, then sell the completed building. This gives developers a strong incentive to finish the job. Building quality control is often a problem, but unfinished projects less so.
Why?
It does not take a body part to host a server or buy a VPS, or you can even use wordpress parts. If the only thing they are looking for is opinions (or, mainly similar opinions), they could go subreddits or forums like HN. Why Github?
Their opinion TLDR; no auto-updater (community auto-updater exists), no advantage to config Arkenfox.js by yourself (but why do I need to be a json geek to just use a browser?)
LW the best daily-driver browser for me, they still include the option to use FF Sync, which is supposed to be safe as E2EE. Mullvad Browser is better but hard to daily drive.
Similar to ublock origin advanced mode (which basically is uMatrix continued), be prepared to fix the site by yourself sometimes. But for safety, privacy, anonymity and security, hell yah.
I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate a one-time payment option for Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro on the iPad, including teenagers who have some money saved up.
There are no continuous vital features updates like being able to read newer camera RAW files for ACR. I find a one-time payment much more suitable for FCP.
With LPX and anything remotely in music production area the subscription just seems dumb. Omnisphere, Komplete, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, Ableton Live were all in the realm for decades, and while subscription did became a thing (especially for very expensive samples like Hollywood, Spitfire, etc.) features in a DAW are sufficient for a long life cycle in production, and mandating a subscription for "keeping latest" just seems odd.
The reason you don't see long term support on Android is because of Qualcomm. Qualcomm wants manufacturers to build on new chips, so they deprecate older chips and stop support. Most manufacturers don't want to hire kernel and hardware devs.
Samsung can pull off longer support because of Exynos and they have a lot of inhouse expertise to extend support on old Qualcomm chips.
It's all money. They don't want you keeping a phone for 5 years.
Apple can do it because they lock you into their walled garden where they can double and triple dip on getting your money.
They also build their own chips.
That's a weakest point of phones as by exposing to log curve, you exactly showcase the poor latitude of phone sensor. With the price and additional rigging required (and cooling), just save and get a bmpcc.
The argument of getting out a phone and handheld for night photography (first saw in Huawei P30) or slow-motion and get really great image is valid.
The argument of randomly getting out a phone with cases, cooling, external SSD, mounted battery, matte boxes (especially for strong glaring on iPhone), and a camera stabliser (because a phone stabliser is not tailored for this weight), will be over 1.5kg. That does not sound like valid.
Log is quite useless other than controlled or professional shooting as exposure matters a lot more, and lack of IRE exposure (false color i.e.) makes it not feasible.
