    And now everyone who is salty about it repeats: If you don’t pay for it you are the product.

    Tbh, their product is much better than the alternatives, especially for non English cases and we selfhost it anyway for aged now. Which works perfectly well and remains free and open - source.

    Worth paying for. Honestly guys selhost for yourself and family contribute to project you depend on, and pay for everything else you don’t have the time to do that too.

    Its free as in freedom, not free as in beer. Their still FOSS even so this isn’t even a rug pull imho. The worst thing is it requires an account which hurts the privacy aspect of that. One the few times something like Meta mask actually makes sense… Maybe some way to get an token generated and sent for use rather than a blanket account

    I guess they harvested enough user data by now and don’t need to give it away for free anymore, well it had some uses but not enough for me to pay for

    After reading this, I installed the local server and just routed the extension there. Took less than 20 min.

    My only concern is the desktop app has no server selection setting.

    Ooof. I think it’s a pretty useful tool, but not worth anything close to what they’re asking for a paid subscription.

    People here don’t seem to understand that this is only for the browser extension, you can still use the site directly…
