How about using Paddle/etc, but just for new subscriptions and just in regions where it's relevant, and handling migration later (or wait for churn to slowly whittle away at it for you)? I've also used https://payp

Love to see the ongoing progress here, but I'm really starting to worry that the growth of attestation on Android will make using custom ROMs like LineageOS impossible in future. Is there any way we can fight this? Feels like there mus

HTTP/3 support is a bit frustrating, since it's highlighted a serious split in engineering effort & focus, which has created a two-tier internet: browsers & big CDNs do support and use HTTP/3 heavily, but most small t

I have one - absolutely love it. Was Intel 12th gen, which was merely quite good (all great except battery life really) but upgrading to the AMD has been fantastic - much better battery and notable perf jump overall, and it was eye opening
