  • I barely use Amazon, it’s just 90% AliExpress stock at huge markup anyway, plus more importantly they’re evil. I do seem to have prime though, which I use to order something maybe every other month when it’s urgent for work. Thing is I’m not signed up for prime, it just activated when I linked an audible account to my business account years ago. I do use audible, to the limit of the credits anyway. So I’ve been kinda torn for ages and can’t bring myself to cancel as my old audible subscription seems to be giving me prime somehow for much less than prime is to sign up.

    I just convince myself I’m playing the system…




  • Coming to Lemmy means losing some of the really well supported niche communities from Reddit of old and that was the biggest hit of leaving, but the site being such cancer now I wonder how well they are doing anyway.

    Lemmy, once you’ve blocked 90% of the weird tankies, really does feel like Reddit from 10+ years ago in the comments. It’s just a shame due to its current small size how single minded the general feed often feels. Hopefully that improves




  • I bailed because the YTM algorithm is terrible compared to when it was Google music. It had got progressively worse and I really realised how bad it was when I subbed to Deezer for a trial. If they hadn’t trashed Google music by integrating it into YouTube I’d still be paying for premium if it came with both. Can’t imagine I’ll ever pay for it again now.













  • Yeah I was just pointing out the insanity of their pricing, using sarcasm. Its the main way we communicate over here.

    The price difference between the first 2 models where 8gb ram is the only change, is £200. Post 2025 I’m going to need some solution to replace my windows install which solely runs CAD/CAM software. If it wasn’t for this scumbaggery I’d buy a Mac to replace win10, but at present apple are such a shower of cunts I think I may have to put up with win11.

    What a fucking choice…
