I agree. There should be some sort of a la carte service where you can pay a couple of bucks and use it for like a day.

I know this is a piracy community, but honestly I don’t mind paying for newspapers.com. I use it a lot just to read up on old articles and stuff and they seem to be doing a pretty good job adding new newspapers to the archive all the time.
For me piracy is great when the product is just outright overpriced because some corporate tools in New York or Los Gatos are trying to make their VC people happy.
TIL you can cross between the border of Oklahoma and Colorado, technically…
That music video from the rooftop!
I guess you could say at least The World Trade Center went out with a bang!
^(I’ll show myself out now)^
A fool and his money are soon parted. From the same class of vehicles that tried to lock heated seats behind a monthly subscription.
You know what’s nice? Those cars can F right off. I won’t buy one new. And never will buy one used.
Always will be “budget” cars (Corolla, Civic, Versa, etc.) that won’t screw around with this crap because the buyers can’t afford to screw around with it.
TRY to paywall a heated seat in a Civic. I dare Honda. It won’t be more than 10 minutes before someone has it badly wired up like an aftermarket subwoofer.
Disney Plus. I can share it with my out-of-state parents with no trouble. And it’s such a great way to watch The Simpsons constantly in the background.
Since Netflix went bonkers and I had to cancel it, D+ is my go-to app. Hopefully they don’t go stupid like Netflix, too.
Same here.
There is a very good Ex-Mormon community on reddit that is so stuck in their own bubble of problems, I can’t see themselves moving. And I enjoy checking in to see what shenanigans the LDS/Mormon church are up to.
But that’s it.
I feel like the past 3 weeks I’ve moved to a new city. And I’m discovering new communities here.
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
Don’t forget the “Jesus fish” on their logo.
I’m from out west, so it was a very foreign concept for me when I visited my sister in Arkansas and saw a lot of “Christian Family Auto” type places with Jesus swag trying to win over business.

The upside if we all use the term Google, is that over time Google will lose their ability to enforce their trademark.
Mine is closed. But considering it has under 500 subscribers…
… Well, let’s just say if Spez forced mine to open, then the site would literally be on fire.
In some cases, in a very literal sense.
No. It’s protest over a CEO who is rude to volunteer moderators.
Spez is Dolores Umbridge and we’re watching Harry Potter 5 play out in real time.
I hope Spez gets sent to Sunnyside Daycare for all eternity.
I hope lemmings sticks. It’s cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It’s great.
I should be upset at you, Homer. But I’m just glad that Lemmy is okay.
He defecated through a sunroof!
So, what’s going to be the first NSFW post?
As a red-blooded, straight cisgender male American… I vote for… Saul Goodman’s ass. (Reference to “Better Call Saul”)
I don’t mind Spotify increasing.
Inflation is real. And nobody wants to see the service turn into a Little Caesars “$5 Hot N Ready” pizza that erodes in quality, rather than gradually price increase with inflation.
The advantage we have with music streamers is that nearly ALL the content is on ALL the services. So, if one service goes bananas with pricing, we can jump ship to a cheaper one.
But TV is siloed into mini monopolies. The only source of capitalism competition they face is use choosing to do without. And frankly, if I’m gonna be forced-fed ads, I choose to do it on YouTube which costs me $0 and not $7.99 a month.
Netflix is gone. And as someone who leaves The Simpsons running 24/7 on Disney+, I’m frankly getting thiiiiiiiiiis close to dumping their asses, too!
