That's how it should work, but many services have been increasing pricing with email warnings for the last decade.

My friend has PS+ and it has multiplied in price for 3-month intervals without him ever confirming the new price. He's had it for a decade without touching it and genuinely wouldn't know he's being charged so much more than he agreed to if I didn't tell him.

This is in Australia which normally has better protections for consumers, but it's possible we don't in this case as it's happened to me with every subscription I've ever had they send a n email and then start charging an amount I never agreed to.

The only exception was AEW+ via Fite.tv which was in USD, that was the only time I ever lost my sub when the price changed, which given it went up +40% I was glad they handled it respectfully.

Given the decline in service quality and the increase of 8.8 million subs in a quarter, they can continue being worse for more and the general public will support it.

The only thing I care about is quality shows being made from good networks, still getting their funding, but streamers are turning into trash TV from the 2000's.

My Usenet backbone & indexer cost 5 USD per month as well.

I had been using Relay for Reddit Pro until today, the API finally switched over and it doesn't work without updating and paying a subscription.

I had already been 50/50, now I can only access the terrible Reddit application on my phone, so I guess Lemmy is all I have on mobile.

ThinkPads are considered the Windows/Linux equivalent of Apple laptops in business settings.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series

The first game was fantastic, the subsequent releases during Telltale's pre-insolvency era were subjective. Personally they are a great series and its -70% off at fanatical atm.

If the browser is based on Tor & the messaging app Signal, why shouldn't we use these existing and established originals.

Update: As pointed out by Twitter user @videotechx, Rockstar actually spoke to releasing two “new iterations of previously-released titles” that are strictly ports or remastered titles (and not sequels) in Rockstar’s FY 2024, which is any time between March 2023 and March 2024.

Currently I have my services accessible through subdomains, with account password protection, my only experiences building websites is Google Pages and Geocities (20 years ago).

All I really need is a single linktree style landing page for my root domain, to hyperlink each of my subdomain services.

Each of my rr web ui has their own account/password setup, but I would like my landing page to also be behind a login form, preferably were I make the user/password manually.

I'm happy to either self-host the page or run it off something free like github pages.

My domain is registered via porkbun, with cloudflare managing the DNS, cloudflared tunnel routing the subdomains to their respective local ports.

I haven't been able to use my root domain via this method, which is why I am open to something like github pages to host the single page securely.

I've been looking up articles and reddit posts for weeks, but I'm not experienced enough in the matter to know where I should be looking or what I should be looking for.

Imagine a laptop market in 10 years, with universal upgradable components based on an agreed set of standards.

Reddit users continue their blackout protest against the platform's new pricing plan, which will force several popular third-party apps to shut down or pay up starting July 1. While some subreddits have reopened, moderators of r/aww, r/videos, and r/music have kept their forums closed, holding out for more movement from Reddit's executives.

Over 300 other subreddits are still private, and moderators are polling their users to gauge interest before joining the indefinite shutdowns. CEO Steve Huffman's leaked memo, which warned employees not to sport a Reddit logo in public, has been criticized for "trivializing" the concerns of moderators and volunteers who maintain much of the platform.

That's great, it's been a bit odd not being able to have access to half the fediverse.

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 19 points 2 years ago

From what I've gathered, it was just AI to clean up a track that was previously too poorly recorded to release.

It's not synthesised, it's just repaired.
