Isn't it wild how everything’s turned into a subscription these days?

I’ve started building my own ad-free tools and plugins just to dodge all those monthly fees for AI, SEO, WordPress, server tools, and addons.

...Yet somehow, I’m still shelling out about $200 a month. The irony, right? 😅

I'm afraid that this trend will soon come irl and will have to subscribe to a local bakery and what not

@retoor it certainly will have some good sides in that, but will have a negative impact too. imagine your car won't even start bc you haven't paid one of it's subscriptions, and yeah we already have such things as your examples points out and essentially you can get to a point where all of your income is linked to an subscription and the only way to add a new one is to remove one of the current, and we all see that they do that process as painful as they can, plus you probably have to hire some accountant to handle your subscriptions in order to reduce unnecessary loses

Lmao imagine paying for YouTube, in return they remove dislikes and make the platform worse from year to year
ublock origin + sponsorblock

@devRancid ublock origin + sponsorblock + returnyoutubedislikes api :)

The one that blows my mind the most is how you need a subscription to be able to use basic stuff in new cars, like seat heating or navigation.

@retoor megakino has more content than all streaming services combined. Oh and yea, you should use adblock for using it. Elsy i use Netflix from daddy

@retoor hmm only tip of "chair"?

@retoor while I get what you are saying, I still want to remind that anything is possible in any language. That’s the thing with Turing completeness :)

But I appreciate many things like meta programming, which are impossible or just too complicated to do in some languages but very easy in other languages.

So, if someone says that language doesn’t matter because you can do anything in any language, then it’s technically correct but practically absolute bullshit! 😂

@retoor yup, every self respecting language should be self hosted :)

@anselmallen fuck off
