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.

the problem if people start sharing links to download. are we gonna allow this? it will be a headache to mod.

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

this is interesting, specially that we as engineers, programmers and developers all we think about is learning new things all the time, we leave so little to enjoy and improve our personal life.

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.

name.com is a good choice to consider, but they are more expensive than google domains.

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.

name.com is really a solid choice, I have used them for over 15 years now, but they are definitely not cheap.

Seems like they want to focus more on AI, IoT and smartphones.

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.
