Here's my phone's new cloud storage. Accessible everywhere, no internet needed, nobody gonna stick their nose in it or decide that I suddenly need to pay 6000x more or they'll hold my data hostage

I still remember when this cloud thing was just starting, and some people were absolutely glowing that they can have 4 gigs in the cloud for only 5 bucks a month. At the time I had been drowning in 4GB and larger memory cards for probably a decade.

As someone clumsy who lives in a city with a lot of canals…

There are associated risks with this kind of “backup” also.

Fuck Subscriptions@lemmy.world

fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world

Naming and shaming all “recurring spending models” where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they’re spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It’s so you can think about what it’s like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can’t use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn’t read this fine print? You should read what you’re agreeing to.
