Any lawyers out there able to chip in on how easy it would be to create, say, a variant of the MIT software licence which added a commercial clause requiring a flat fee per commercial org? @neil - don’t think this is your wheelhouse, but do you know?

So, my iPhone just updated and imposed Apple’s liquid glass UI update and… it’s a horror show. Not only is it significantly more ugly, but it makes some things actively harder to read. Massive UX fail.
Computers should not arbitrarily reboot themselves. Ask my permission first godamnit.
Microsoft Teams continue to turn the enshitification dial. Latest update removes Teams from the top level menu, hides it under Chat and removes the ability for you to hide individual Teams. Perhaps they should rename it Microsoft Chat.
The sooner I can trial out Mattermost as a replacement, the better.

Anyone (UK) want my old Amstrad PPC? It was top of the range back in the day. 640k memory and dual 3.5 floppy drives. Built in modem. Still has manual and case. @neil ?
@protonprivacy very disappointed with your service today. You messed up my billing and downgraded my service (with totally inadequate notice). This caused the vpn app on my phone to crash repeatedly but somehow stay on and not work, preventing me from accessing the internet. And now I discover it seems to have broken all my email filing rules too (which I can’t reconfigure via the app). Please stop wasting resources on pointless AI and crypto stuff and focus on the core business.
@protonprivacy Have you any plans to add the ability to set up email filing rules from within the (iOS) mobile Proton Mail app? Even better if there was also a way of specifying a simple filing rule associated with each created alias on its edit/create screen (“file email to this alias in this folder” plus option to also file sent-to in same folder).
Google’s recent AI fails are objectively funny and of course make its search function even worse for users. But I don’t get the business logic. Their objective seems to be to keep you on their site and discourage from following links elsewhere. But their income comes from businesses who are only willing to pay ad $ because their site encourages people to follow links to their site. If Google somehow turn it around and succeed in becoming a one-stop answer service, who is paying them?
Fedibrain: if I buy an analogue phone adapter (specifically the UniFi ATA) from the US, would I be able to use it in the UK? Are US/UK landline phones on the same spec?

@ivory feature request: currently a tap at the screen top jumps to the latest toot irrespective of where you are in your feed. Could you make it so that one tap takes you to the latest _unread_ toot and second tap takes you to the very latest? (I’m sure this used to be Tweetbot’s behaviour, but maybe I misremember.)
What fresh hell is this?
