when are they going to completely drop the lifetime license? they must at some point right?

Yes, if to keep it simple

After reddit did that mobile app stunt - I created a firefox addon to help reddit refugees move to lemmy:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-deep-lighthouse/

I built this firefox addon to help people move from reddit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-deep-lighthouse/

indeed… so no changes till next admin… ok - so no changes? might as well just dont even do it

oh this sucks man.

they are already losing AI race to china: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-27/why-china-s-deepseek-qwen-and-moonshot-are-a-worry-for-us-ai-rivals

why even make people suffer from high electric bills

I think public finally began to understand that they subsidize the DC electric bill. And that immediately makes it everyone’s issue.

Yeah I’m using that as we speak actually.
Qwen studio mobile app is free - I’m running 3.6 plus model it’s free.
Same with recent kimi, minimax, deepseek models are great - all these companies have mobile apps and coding agents I can pay and use today. https://qwen.ai/qwencode

Already it’s leaked that cursor’s composer 2.0 model is based on Kimi 2.5.

Anthropic/openai sky high valuations are based on a notion they will be that ones left standing and bunch of humans gonna be fired and companies gonna be paying ai rent. But that assumes little competition. What we are seeing is totally different - open models caught up, china actively selling it. US ai companies thus will never be able to just jack prices - as there is tons of competition.

Look - US ai companies gonna lose ai race to China.
Already china models are almost on par quality wise and a lot less expensive.
They also have a firewall and we don’t - so they can have our data, but we can’t have theirs.

So why even torture population with high electric bills?

Complain to management about secret surveillance . That’s how original Google glasses were defeated

If it raises my electric bill - I don’t need it near me.

I mean , web is gonna become more and more separate and nation clustered. It’s inevitable.

Leave gabe alone. Leave him alooonee.
