LuLu itself sends telemetry to Sentry by default
This is why I pay for LS. The whole point of the software is to avoid nonconsensual phone-home; if it does it itself, how or why would you ever trust the developer? I'd literally rather pay for proprietary software than maintain a fork of LuLu.

#62Why does factorio literally perform better on my laptop than websites like these? Is this just firefox on linux being bad at hardware rendering? Is it some crappy API people are forced to use to do these animations? I don't get it.
Re: Little Snitch Mini
#63People are probably going to be confused between this and the "full" version of Little Snitch. My take on it is that Little Snitch Mini is something you can install on a non-technical friend or family member's computer whereas power users may want to stick with the existing offering. I say this as a long time heavy user of Little Snitch. It's very annoying when you first get it installed, but it provides really usefu…

#65I would happily pay $20 or $30 for a version of this, but I will absolutely not pay a subscription fee for extra features. I have too many subscriptions... I want to support this developer but not this way. Uninstalling :(
software is ongoing though, the subscription model makes more sense if you want ongoing maintenance
Re: Little Snitch Mini
#66Was ready to buy this until I saw it is a subscription, not stand-alone.
Price seems fair, honestly. The full blown app is like $70, plus upgrades when those come.
Several apps on the Mac App Store have both subscription and lifetime pricing. I’ve bought several.

I've always thought this should be a feature in an OS for advanced users. Combined with some OS level security optimizations it could be quite a powerful security feature for the paranoid and at-risk. I haven't tried mini but there's probably plenty of UX gains in between the standard Little Snitch fine control approach and the UBlock Origin style community curated defaults where control/customization is optional/on-…
Completely agree. Occasionally I run Charles Proxy[1] on my iPhone to analyze network activity and am disturbed by what I see. Software shouldn't be able to open arbitrary network connections without user consent/control, but we're not there yet to a large enough degree on mobile unfortunately.

It's so cheap, why do you care?
Personally, I refuse to use subscription services out of principle. I much prefer to pay once and have it off my mind.
