• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m on the go fuck yourselves side even though I use YT everyday quite a lot.

  Us Aussies got it hard, price went up from 18 to 33. I’m strongly considering this to be my last month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah as a techie, 100% wouldn’t recommend. Also they are 5 generations in and nothing really has changed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re at a point now where you don’t need to upgrade every 6 months or a year. Phones work perfectly fine for 2 to even 5 years now with updates.

  Micro updates such as slightly faster processing power or a slightly better camera is not appealing at all.

  Foldables is where the next smartphone market is but the technology is way too young and they’re mechanically fragile resulting in problems within only months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple users bash new iPhone 15: ‘Innovation died with Steve Jobs’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hear this remark every year now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally the only ‘new’ thing with the 15

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s lucky I haven’t used Chrome in years. Firefox is much appreciated these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brands suspend advertising on X after ads appear alongside Nazi content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Geez, that’s pretty fucking intense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming to you soon...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I used to be on reddit everyday before everything went to hell and now I’m only on it like once a week and lemmy only a few days in between usage.

  Life is more… enjoyable now? Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t used my twitter account in probably close to a decade or so but I still can’t find a use for mastodon either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feels good to win boys⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t take a joke lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feels good to win boys⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Dogs being a bro. Dogs feel sorry for you when your upset or sad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  China being China, no surprise here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using it over the last few days and I’m pretty impressed with it so far. Before that I was using connect, then sync but didn’t like the ads and insane prices, also tried out a few others but ultimately settled with infinity.

  I’ve been using infinity for reddit ever since sync died and I find it’s quite polished and runs the smoothest out of all the apps I’ve tried, even smoother then sync for lemmy. The only bug I’ve ran into is trying to press the profile button on the navigation draw at the bottom crashes the app but it still works from the hamburger menu.

  This is very true and I actually forgot about this lmao because my wife insists that we just wait until we get a new car…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, I have a family subscription and I don’t need to pay for another music subscription like Spotify etc. YT music has come a long way since it’s release (i’ve been with it aince the start) and it’s great now. I like that you can watch the music video version too.

  I’ve never ever had the chance of experiencing it. My car is over 23 years old by memory, still runs great as Toyota’s do but damn I’d love to have something more then a broken CD player and strip black and white interface.

  Perhaps I’d be one to appreciate all this ‘useless’ tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The state of Playstore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Mostly everything in the store can also be easily done in a browser too.
