This is super intentional. Look for the Fitts law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law

So you never coded JavaScript ;)

Maybe if they didn’t use very intrusive ads people would not install ad-blockers so much

Many websites put a video playing in later in top of the text, with another layer of ads and tiny space to read… the website would be unreadable without ad-blocks

Oh really I had the impression if you have a GPLv3 dependency in the same pack it could be interpreted as distributing it with your code.

Well thank TIL for me.

Linux has a problem with distribution of binaries, and companies for profit doesn’t want to share source … and packages with only binaries have some dependencies problem… although Flatpak and Snap improved this A LOT…. But then would have GLPv3 in many dependencies and you cannot ship it with a “for profit” product.

This is the biggest hurdle for Linux “for profit” market for better apps. Also many Linux users are against the paid model, preferring open source. There is a cultural limitation to break the bubble

I think SteamOS is helping a lot to break this … but still Linux desktop need to have a cultural change specially on license model or binary stability to be able to have a better app availability

I don’t know. I understand some good devs are paying the price, but…

Here in US apps are allowed to external links. Before I was opening and app, subscribing and canceling in the seam month if I wanted

Now DAZN (sport streaming) is forcing users to give 30 days notice. So if you use for a day. You need to pay 2 months.

I would prefer to pay 30% more than 100% more to use DAZN for a single month.
