youll have to pay with a cc based in, say the UK, so they’ll automatically change your location back to the UK. doesn’t work anymore.

Same, i used to sub with Spotify, in the last 2 years i’ve been on Apple music, they even have better collection and playlists of non-english music. Spotify is full of rap music and so hard to discover anything else unless you know what you are searching for.

in the uk it used to be £18 now £20 … that’s about €23 or $25

there are many fediverse alternatives, but honestly they’re deserted.

Most of them are either FB or IG users anyway, so their data are already being taken.

They want to keep the top content creators from considering threads. Threads is a real threat to twitter specially with all the issues around twitter atm.

during the lockdown i tried to connect my WP personal blog to a tumblr account i had from years ago, the tech community their almost don’t exist, specially if compared to other social media platforms. Not sure about them now tho.

Who still uses tumblr 😄

As of today it wouldn’t be that hard, alternatives are available and some of them are as good but don’t have the same market share.

People are moving away from twitter because it’s full of spam, nudity and bullying. That doesn’t makes twitter any unique and/or worthy, that makes it toxic place to be in.

Freedom of speech and (nudity, bullying) are not the same thing.

if facebook and ig are allowed then threads will get the approval anytime soon anyway.

the main benefit of this, is that you can self-replace the battery when it becomes excessively degraded and doesn’t hold charge as good as a healthy battery. otherwise you’d still need a power-bank for your other tech, such as AirPods or similar stuff.

I just tried Calckey it looks more polished UI-wise than any other Fediverse platform I have seen so far. I think Calckey would make an excellent social platform for the public (non-tech) users.

Pixelfed is also an excellent Instagram alternative, it reminds me of how Instagram used to be before the Facebook acquisition. Their iOS beta app is in good shape as well.

well, The majority of YT users doesn’t even know what is an adblocker.

edit: typo

Whats the percentage of YT users who use Adblock tools? i think it’s a tiny number, mainly the power users.

I use a mix of google, bing, duckduck and Yandex.

Also I have “DEVONagent Pro” which i use for academic research, it has many automation features and quite customisable, however it does take a bit of time to learn it.

Edit: I also use “HistoryHound” which basically search into the content of my browsing history, depending on the browser local cache. Excellent tool for academics/researchers.
