Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't thought of whether or why it was closed source! I've seen nothing but good intentions from Kitboga and his team, but I can't know everything obviously so I'm glad you're pointing that out!

I hear you, monthly subscriptions can be a killer financially. The team that made this knew that releasing the free version might hurt their finances in the long run but they genuinely want to help protect people from being scammed.

I will say the paid version is as cheap as they could possibly make it, they may have to up the price in the future to keep paying staff but I appreciate how much they're trying to make it accessible.

If I was in a position to I'd pay for the subs for my parents and grandparents (maybe in the future), but at least I was able to get them the free version for now!

I've never heard of this, I'm gonna look it up and learn more!

Aaaahhhh same!!! His face is in all my screenshots because I always have his videos on in the background 😆

Yeah!! Kitboga actually answered this question on a recent stream, I know for sure the premium version you can whitelist any site. Not sure about the free version! Kitboga said it's the most common question he gets 😂

People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it's a job that is very hard and not much fun.

Obviously I don't speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.

I have so much control over my own schedule, I can't get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don't have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).

There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.

I freakin love this website so much. It's been a really tough week and I just laughed out loud at a minimum of 12 posts in a row.

Sounds silly to say about memes but thank you genuinely everyone who's posting on Lemmy ❤️

First off, love this question!

Active listening and validating someone's emotions. Relationship skills in general honestly! Like how to adress the core attachment need in a disagreement instead of just the surface issue.

Use Signal instead and donate what you can per month! I'd much rather support them than Meta

Oh my stars... It doesn't get much more horrible than that. Until you read they bombed refugee camps 😭

I would say this about the stock market
