@FinchHaven for me this reminds on how #nokia handled its crisis. nokia sold phone subdivision to microsoft, and only licensed the required patents but kept all the IP ownership. sometimes you have to give what the greedy hands what they want to take away from you, if the price tag is decent...

both have the issue of requiring an account, which renders out public institutions and events for e.g. doing announcements or real-time schedule updates.

surprisingly the intel machine runs on 550W power, which is a surprise, no hick ups. thought that i would have to buy a new power when i upgraded but still going strong. i have e.g. SATA disabled from BIOS because it only has a single M.2. drive.

doing new image to #vmware #fusion. in ubuntu-server i don't understand why LVM is default unless you encrypt. it just adds a layer of complexity...

i have two dev machines: intel all-arounder (i9-13900k, arc a770, 64 GB) and mac mini m2 pro (12/16 32GB). they are in different locations. the all-arounder is at my GF's place so that i have chance to see her :-) right now at my basecamp in tampere downtown trying to make sense of macOS. #lifehack

@monsieuricon I was thinking more like use cases where Twitter is traditionally used without an account. This could be announcements of a public organization, conference schedule updates and so forth. For that use Twitter is no longer an option, and Threads caps those use cases.

@monsieuricon No Instagram, no Threads, right? Does not seem to provide the coverage of "pre-Musk" Twitter.

The #paid #subscriptions I have (#everything):

  1. #YouTube Premium
  2. #Dropbox (2 TB).
  3. #iCloud (50 GB just a staging buffer for iCrap).
  4. #SoundCloud super artist whatever shitty account name they had. The service is great but their subscription labels are confusing. I guess I should get a Xanax addiction to understand them.
  5. #Bookbeat
  6. #NordVPN
  7. #Voi electric scooter (300 min / month).
  8. #Kapsi Internet-users association.
  9. #Splice

Just wanted to recall what I pay for…
