That’s about it. I don’t use ChatGPT often enough to sub. I sometimes subscribe to Canva Pro if I have a project ongoing.

I will be the devil’s advocate here and say that having the 8 Gb ram config on their cheapest machines (MBA, Mac Mini) is perfectly fine, but having it as the base config on the MBP is borderline false advertising.

I have a Poco X5 5G which was the cheapest phone they had with a headphone jack and 5G support. I use it daily with my wired IEMs. The sound quality is better and I don’t have to worry about battery for long listening sessions. I do have a Soundcore Liberty 4NC for calls though. It gets pretty awkward using wired IEMs for calls nowadays.

I use Firefox exclusively on Desktop and Brave exclusively on mobile. Firefox on Mobile still has performance issues for me.

I would be excited except it’s 2023 and Google has not made it available in my country (Indonesia), with the 4th biggest population in the world. This is a country where over 80 percent of the population uses Android phones. It seems Google is just not that serious in trying to sell us phones.

As I said in an earlier post, better get out now and migrate while the communities are still intact rather than slowly bleeding out due to these policies. There is going to be one kind of content on Reddit and that’s the ad-friendly, corporate supported kind.

It’s probably gonna turn subscription based. As in, you have to subscribe to not only send Thank-Yous but also receive them. What Reddit wants are paying customers for their IPO, not “users”.

I basically quit Reddit cold turkey. Rather than watch the slow, sad decline of its communities by going along with Reddit management, I’d advocate them to make the transition to the Fediverse now rather than later. The /retrogaming/ community (I need to drop the /r/ for obvious reasons) did this and is doing quite well for itself on Lemmy and Mastodon.

8bitdo Ultimate for me, if I’m playing on a big screen.

Not only this, but this has happened before. It was called Digg back in 2010.

I was a paid user since the early days. I think Sync has been very generous with its pricing and extra features and would like to see it continue. Wish you the best of luck!

Google basically monetized user-generated content and discussion (those obscure FAQs and technical discussions), now Reddit wants to get it on it, too. The only ones getting truly shafted is the average user.

Yes. At the end of the day it is always corporate greed and shortsightedness that does them in.
