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.


Spotify is about to cost more with a price increase planned for next week
According to the report, Spotify will raise its standard subscription rate by $1 next week, bringing the monthly cost from $9.99 to $10.99.

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.


Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
The price of an individual YouTube Premium subscription is increasing by $2 to $13.99 per month in the US for new and current customers. This price increase is live for new subscribers as seen on youtube.com/premium. Instead of $11.99, YouTube Premium now costs $13.99/month. Meanwhile, it’s $18.99 if you’re subscribing from the iOS YouTube app.

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.


Signs of an escalating chip trade war were evident already in October last year. Now, a set of new strategic measures have further ignited the conflict, raising fears over the stability of the global supply chain, and even threatening to derail the EU’s green transition.

yeah seems so. and i’m not sure if software companies really wants that.


Founded out of London in 2021, Outverse is looking to tackle a similar problem to what the likes of Commsor, Common Room, Threado, Talkbase and Crowd.dev are striving to solve, but with a different approach — its mission is to build what it calls a “full-stack community platform” for software companies, replete with forums, knowledge bases, and product documentation.

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.


Relax my friend, would you like some Mojito? You see that doesn’t take rust out of the equation here (read again the op body text).


Maybe that is the problem, rust, not a popular choice for web development.


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