https://www.npr.org/2023/08/31/1196776390/saudi-arabia-man-death-sentence-tweets Well this is fucked. This is the problem with social media today that needs solving. A private held company will give 0 shits about us. They will throw us under the buss to keep their books clean. Same goes for all other companies claming this crap. All vpn companies comes to mind. And all companies starting with "your privacy is siuupa important to us". Fuck you all. Eat shit and die! #abandontwitter #abandoncorporations

I did some math and thinking how expensive is to actually be on the internet if we don't want ads and our data to be used. I read around 5, 7 papers regularly every month. - new york times 0.5c/week - economist 29eur/month - wired ~$2.5 / month (i think) - fortune 29.9 - the new stack (free? I guess) - medium - 5 eur/month Total: $820usd/year Storage - I use google as it's the most simple, reliable and complete 19.99month Total: $239/year Entertainment - youtube video - $17.99/month - netflix - $12.99/month - prime - $4.99/month And thang God for streamio with real-debrid plugin Total: $431/year Food - glovo prime - $6.99/month - because they are assholes and add taxes to transportation, service (whatever the fuck that mean). Same goes to those dickheads from uber, airbnb, takeaway etc. Total: $83.88/year This does not include other profesional subscriptions I have: InteliJ, todoist, etc let say an extra $300/year So we are looking at around $1800, $1900 /year I admit i don't pay for all the papers at the time. Mostl'y using free tier or pay for the one suits me well that month. But the rest. I kind need them because most of them they are forcing me to do so or i need them This is not easy sum for most. And you don't get you money's worth. There are months when I don't open netflix or prime for example and not canceling subscription. We need to bring back the pay per use. #payperuse #payperservice #letsmakeitsimple
