I’ve decided to combine more of my streaming services into bundles to save a little money. So I had to cancel Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Now HBO Max Max. Only Max was subscribed via Apple’s services and cancelling was, as promised, a simple two-click operation. The other services? I swear it was 5 clicks each along with pleas to stay and small buttons to click.

Of course, I have to wait for the billing cycles to complete in order to really set this all up properly, but here’s hoping!

Feels like Blogrolls could be the solution to bad search engines.* “Here are some vetted, trusted sources even if they are deindexed from the search engines.”

A lot of people (all smarter than me) are very perplexed by the Apple lawsuitt brought forth by the U.S. DOJ. I wonder if this office shutting down is the answer to this and many other confusing statements by members of Congress when it comes to technology.

Someone needs to make an app that makes it easy to subscribe and unsubscribe to streaming services. I think I could save a lot of money it was easier to turn these services on and off.

You know, kind of like how you can toggle off a subscription on an iPhone.

How do you ruin Twitter? Slowly, then really, really fast. Holy cow is the grifter ruining it quickly.

As far as I can tell, my last post on Instagram was Feb, 19, 2022. Instagram was something I really liked, but the more people I followed (that I actually knew) the sadder I became. There were simply too many posts with staged setups. Maybe it was jealousy over what they were portraying as their perfect lives (even though I knew it was all staged nonsense). In any event, I stopped posting. I did try to start up a small Micro.blog photo account, but for some reason I never took to it. I could always try again, but in order to make it work, I need to set up a routine and I’m not yet motivated into making one. Here’s to 2023!

As far as I can tell, my last:

I haven’t checked it in about a month and it’s honestly pretty easy. I know it’s harder for folks who depend on it for exposure/work and have something to lose, but for a regular schlub like me it’s been pretty easy. I’m glad I never needed Twitter for anything important.

I don’t even post here all that often, but I always mean to.

I can feel the withdrawal of Twitter happening (this is day 3, but not yet full days since Monday I was using it for reading). It’s going to stick this time, just like leaving Instagram behind stuck. The silly thing is all I did was remove the app from my Mac’s dock and hid the app on my iPhone. That’s all it really took.
