I miss it, I found more fun stuff, especially comment sections, but I would say my lemmy feed has more quality.

But I tried reading books instead of endless doom scrolling

Mangers daughter and a friend of hers where about to go for season work in Australia and do a bit of travel around and found a very cheap ticket to Sidney, bought it and went off.

Sidney, Canada…

Just came out from the cinema with my girlfriend and had the same talking points on the way home. I would not say that it’s bad, the world building is awesome but we didn’t feel anything for the main characters.

It had too many ideas cramped into 2h running time, and the characters was highly uninteresting and many scenes didn’t make sense for the plot.

Dispite the 3rd arc, nothing will change, the status que is kept.

Well I was not a high paying costumer, I just went for the lunch and didn’t give any tip. Assumed that it was good enough to pay for the basic service.

I do not understand the position where companies first provide a good service and and than later reduces the experience and functionality. YouTube especially, when they are providing a platform but not the content.

Their AI would easily see that I more or less gave them free money since I wasn’t a high consumer putting any load on their data centers. I paid to remove the worst ads around to just see a few trailers and videos for the kids.

Yes it’s a joke but I have the option to just leave, worse would be if you are dependent on the platform in some way.

I don’t see why companies should show you any appreciation except what you pay for or what you are given in return for your services, it would be nice but I do not demand it.

If you don’t like it, leave it, or make a plan you can ditch it.

I believe one should pay for services/content to promote costumer needs, put your money where your mouth is. But people need to stop being obsessed to always see the latest and greatest movie, sports event, concert etc. The business model would fall and it would force change but that will not happen on this 3rd planet.

In this case I just wanted to remove ads the few times I opened the app without the hustle. Conviniance easily beats piracy, even quality will take a hit.

I pay for mullvad and Proton since I like the service they provide and I encourage people to do the same.

An easy answer, Spotify are where my friends hang around. I would not have any second thoughts to drop Spotify, but for me I love to share playlists, tracks etc with family and friends.

As general nobody use YouTube music here in Sweden.

Would be great if 81% of my colleagues skipped one day, then i finally have one day with undisturbed focused work.

Sweden: 50 Usd 1gb up/down fiber directly pulled to a media converter located in my house. Not like I had, living in UK, fiber to a telecom box on the street and then Lan cable to my property…
