Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

Gestrid,

I talk like that when I’m alone on speakerphone. Especially if I need to look something up at the same time.

Gestrid,

No, on the bottom picture. They censored the bicycle tire pump for some reason.

Gestrid,

Pineapple on pizza is just… no.

Gestrid,

They probably think it’s safer somehow. But I don’t really get how.

Most built-in password managers allow for you to setup a master password of sorts if you try to sync everything to a new device, and most also require you to use your computer’s native verification to view a single password in plaintext or export all of them as plaintext. (For browsers on Windows, they use Windows Hello; for browsers on Android, they use the fingerprint scanner or the lock screen pin.)

Gestrid,

Probably because it’d take a ton of time and money (because of API limits and costs), and it’d potentially disrupt Lemmy too much.

Reddit is a massive site, as far as how much content it’s stored over the years.

Gestrid,

And it just got renewed for two more seasons after this one. variety.com/…/futurama-renewed-season-13-14-hulu-…

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

Gestrid,

That’s an oddly specific video, and I enjoyed every second of it. XD

Gestrid,

I’d probably be like this, but wearing glasses is better than not being able to see six inches in front of you. My nearsightedness is bad.

Gestrid,

I got a headache when I first started wearing glasses. Then it went away. There wasn’t anything wrong with the prescription. It was just my eyes adjusting to suddenly being able to see in HD for the first time in years.

Gestrid,

He refuses to wear glasses while driving “because all the lights hurt my eyes”.

If your eyes aren’t used to glasses, guess what? You get a headache. If you wear them long enough, your body gets used to them, and you stop getting headaches.

Gestrid,

It’s the same in the US. They test your vision when you go to get your license, they print the restriction on your license, and you legally cannot drive without them.

Gestrid,

Some of them do.

In any case, typically, the ones that aren’t occupied are always slightly ajar, so there’s no need for an “occupied” indicator.

Gestrid,

They just want you to put your plates back together.

Gestrid,

If there is, I’d like to know.

Gestrid,

Honestly, I’d probably use Tor more if I knew which sites on the dark web were “safe”.

Basically, I know how to use Tor, but I have no idea where to begin with it.

Gestrid,

It probably won’t always work, but pressing 0 is usually a “hidden” option that’ll connect you to a human. It used to be used to connect people to an operator, and many companies still use it that way, even if they don’t advertise it.

Gestrid,

I ended up “under-doing” it, got the flu as a result, and ended up having three zero days in a row followed by three bare minimum days.

Gestrid,

I remember when I had a weak strain of COVID (barely any symptoms except for achiness all over, slight stuffiness, brain fog, and trouble getting enough oxygen). Even without doing anything, I was tired enough at the end of the day to sleep about 9-10 hours straight.

I wouldn’t want to have a stronger strain, and I hope you get better soon.

Gestrid,

This. I’ve gotta take about 5 minutes or more to mentally prep for a phone call if it’s for business. Afterwards, I’m exhausted.

So long... I'll not be returning (lemmy.ml)

I’ve used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

Gestrid,

I’d also like to plug ReVanced. You do have to provide your own copy of the YouTube APK (easily downloadable from APKMirror), but it allows you to install multiple patches into the app, including Return YouTube Dislike, SponsorBlock, and other stuff. It allows background play and blocks ads, too. (You can see the list of available patches here.)
