I mean to be fair they are very cheap to purchase all things considered. That said I’ve still got my Kindle 3 I bought used on eBay and it’s still going strong after like 10 years I’ve owned it.

I mean, if you consider how much a study costs to get to the point of publication, the publication costs are peanuts in comparison.

Die

I switched from hosting my own mail for close to 10 years to using Fastmail. The webmail client is much better than Rainloop and Roundcube. I like it better than Gmail TBH. I’m very happy with my decision, but I’m only hosting for me.

I also considered Proton, but it doesn’t satisfy a couple of your requirements. It is a good value though, and the privacy features are tops.

The best value I’ve seen by far is Microsoft 365. The webmail for Outlook is quite good and you can host your own client if you want and connect with IMAP. It’s especially a good value if you use the family plan. Bonus is you also get MS Office and a TB of storage. Downside: Microsoft. But 2024 MS isn’t the same as 2005 M$.

That album he did with Ben Folds was truly a great one.

They do different things. Microblog/follow people vs discussion forum/follow topics. Just because they share a protocol doesn’t mean it’s compatible at a practical or desirable level. I wouldn’t want microblogging coming to Lemmy personally.

Getting away with it? You know lightning came out like 4 years before USB-C, right?

Missing the swastika too

This could bring a lot of new users based on the name of the app and past popularity. I don’t use the Play store but will this automatically update over the old Reddit app? Too bad Apollo didn’t pull the same thing.

Centralized tv show discussions with episode discussion threads. That hasn’t happened yet :/

Now can they go back to being Washington Football Team?

I’ve been wondering about that too. Specifically how long can old posts persist, and how long are instances compelled to host older content especially from other servers.
