  Unironically iTunes

  Oh my god dude renting has been a thing for centuries.

  There is a tool library near me and it is $45/yr. It’s amazing. These are really good services and this comment section has no idea what it’s talking about.

  Bing’s copilot is genuinely pretty good, the AI answer is often pretty accurate and the way it’s able to weave links into its answer is handy. I find it way more useful than Google search these days and I’m pretty much just using it on principle as Google is just pissing me off with killing their services, a few of which I’ve used.

  I don’t think Microsoft is some saint but copilot is just a good product.

  I have been using KeePass for eight years. Used to just shuffle the file around with Google Drive, now I have it sync’d with Syncthing across a few devices. I use its notes feature to store associated data like S3 keys and it stores my SSH key and KeePassXC can automatically add it to an SSH agent.

  I don’t really have any complaints about it.

  Docker cp piped into restic, uploading to wasabi. Works well, I recently recovered from a hard drive failure and everything just worked.

  A nice email from Google explaining that would have been lovely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium quietly goes up in price to $14 per month | That's a significant $2 increase with no official announcement.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same reasons here. Also, if you regularly watch Youtube on smart TVs/streaming boxes, etc. it’s just the most hassle free way to not get ads there.

  I pay Google for Google domains (shutting down, being transferred to somewhere) and YT premium and they didn’t tell me either of these things.
