They are so shamed by their past

It's not about shame. It's about making sure that it will never happen again. That's why there isn't a blanket ban on them, Nazi symbols are still very much legal to be shown in educational contexts, for example.

Although, uhh, looking at the current state of affairs it doesn't seem to be working too well

Huh? I'm streaming from my Jellyfin just fine when I'm on the go, with no tailscale or other VPN set up

Okay, different example. If a country dropped a couple of wounded soldiers without weapons over another country's territory, would you call that an invasion?

If someone threw the dead body of a robber into a store, would you also call that store being robbed?

You might wanna take a look at Quantum Leap!

Admittedly, that is a pretty big "if". But yeah, if I manage to do it I certainly will!

Same boat here, recently discovered tana and its whole model is amazing. It's fixing most of the things that bothered me a lot in Obsidian and Notion, respectively. I don't want to go back to a service where I don't have file-based control over my own data though, so now I'm seriously considering building something on my own that takes the mental model of tana, but implements it local-first based on regular files like Obsidian

No, they didn't. They explicitly said that you're free to not upgrade for now in the announcement.

They have a section in their TOS that says they can block you from using the printer if you don't upgrade, which sucks, but that is a generic clause, doesn't mean they'll make use of that here, and from their communication I don't suspect they will, at least for the time being.

I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers

not a common feature in proprietary software

Just so you know, the GDPR mandates that you can at any time get a full export of all your personal data from anyone who's processing it in a common, machine readable format. It is laudable though to have that integrated as a feature in the software, rather than jumping through hoops contacting support etc.

If you have a USB C to C cable handy, that's also going to work to charge other devices, loses less power to the transfer, is quicker, and also more convenient since you can keep using both phones. Of course you'll often not have a cable, but if you do it's probably gonna be the better option

Why not simply say donation

It's about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying "Here's the software, we'll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it". It's an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

In the end it's just a semantic difference, it's just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.
