They were sold to ZippoApps, who specializes in adding crapware to apps.

What else would we expect anyway…

I hope you noticed that the key phrase in your comment is “your content”

Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as “your”

I don’t exactly recall when or where I heard/read this quote, but man it is dope

• "it should not be a concern when people pirate your content, it should be when people don’t even want to pirate your content"

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments… but another bad guy worth hating is

Hewlett Packard.

Their

“Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won’t work when you are out of ink”

Is just plain fuckery.

“Who is this guy, and what is he doing in my court ?”

“He is the witness in this trial, your Honor”.

“Does that mean the ball is now in my court?”

I am also a former Jerboa user and although I kinda liked it - the sole reason that I moved away from it was the lack of a proper search feature (It is already well-known that the Search bar in Jerboa is basically only for communities; Jerboa can’t search for posts, comments or users.

I have lately been using Eternity - and the main reason is that Eternity is a fork of Infinity for Reddit, and Infinity was a complete app by its own merit - so although Eternity is not updated frequently, it is very unlikely that I will miss any essential feature in Eternity for Lemmy.

Just my 0.02.

to see if it was worthwhile.

If you are done with what you were set out to do, then sure, upgrade it if it’s free.

I do exactly the same. I always opt for the earliest free prime delivery available, even for just one item in my order.

Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.

And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.

Google needs to be broken up at least as much as the oil and railroad companies did a century ago.

This is probably the biggest truth right now, and applies to almost all the big tech corps.

and every single one of my friends created accounts and hopped on to chat rooms

FOMO and Privacy usually do not mix well. Unless you can come out of “All my friends are doing it, so it must be cool” mindset, you will find it difficult to appreciate privacy.

You yourself said

and that social life also includes the use of social media apps

Note the keyword “includes”. So Social Life is not JUST social media apps. As someone mentioned already, dating starts best with face to face interactions.

Have you tried the good old phone number exchange, may be to try out texting?

Lastly, if someone wants to understand the real me based on my Instagram profile and activities - I would stay away from that person. YMMV.
