I pay for non popular things - bands that aren’t well known, YouTube creators who haven’t started doing those stupid “MUNDANE TASK 😱 GOES WRONG!” thumbnails yet, games or software that are free to download but hey maybe some money would be cool if you could, independent news and radio, etc.

Once something is popular I’ll just thieve it. Artists are creators deserve to get paid for their work, but once they start getting paid dozens of times over for no extra effort it’s hard to feel too bad about borrowing a free copy.

I don’t think people are “refusing”

I know a few people who have no reason NOT to learn to drive, but just don’t and instead mooch off everyone else.

My folks had a falling out with a couple they’d been friends with for ages because they refused to get their licence… But then expected them to come and pick them up from the train station when they were invited to dinner, spent most of the night telling everyone how smart they are for not having a car, and then expecting a lift back to the train station. Having just spent a couple of hours banging on about how much financially better off they were, I saw it as essentially stealing to then demand someone else use their asset and running costs to carry them around for free.

My sister in law finally got her licence at 30-something after a couple of decades constantly harassing family members for a ride.

Subsonic (https://www.subsonic.org/) hasn’t been updated in years, but it still works perfectly for me. I’m mostly on Youtube Music these days just for the size of the library, but for stuff I have that YTM doesnt I still fall back to Subsonic that’s running on my HTPC.

Lamington Day

Cause Lemmyington.

This probably works better with a New Zealand accent… which I don’t have, but like to imitate when I’m drunk.

That’s paid though, right? I don’t use Word, and if I wanted to I’d need to buy it. Firefox is free and accessible to everyone.

How do you use Xitter for porn??

Then I guess for security reasons you won’t be signing up.

“Hopefully I’ll do better next time”

And all of that would still be true without the “woe is me” addendum to your post.

Downvotes to an honest question. I should take a break from internet.

Complaining about internet numbers? That’s a downvote.

How is disabling (or deleting) an account going to help?

I found it easy to stop participating on Reddit. Every time I went to post I was reminded that all I’m doing is adding value to some piece of shit shareholder who actively wants me gone because I don’t mindlessly scroll the front page (old.reddit and adblock). Why do anything on there when it’s just to make someone else rich?

And Reddit made it easy for me to not even look when I’m on mobile by killing third party apps. If I can’t RiF then I choose no Reddit at all.

I get wanting to delete old accounts

They didn’t ask that (which, btw, is under settings -> delete account), they asked to disable it.

At the risk of sounding like a Facebook group, this isn’t an airport… you don’t need to announce departure. Just leave. Voila. Done.

Hey it’s me, user number 6

Just stop using it? Eesh. No need for the drama, just walk away.

1. Install Team Fortress 2

3. Get good

I’m somewhere between steps 2 and 3 myself after around 2500 hours or so of gameplay.

Just realised I’ve probably bought that app at some point - no idea what it costs since Google doesn’t show that information once you own it.

There’s a free version which likely has done restrictions but probably still does exactly what you require:

I’ve been using Image Shrink on Android for the better part of a decade. It works flawlessly for exactly this situation.

I set the resize options to maximum dimension of 1600px.

Then the workflow is share from any app (like the Gallery) to Image Shrink, it resizes the photo(s), then reopens the share prompt to share on to wherever you’re trying to send them (like an email client).

You can also choose Image Shrink in the file picker to do it in reverse - select the files in the app you want, and they get resized on the way in.
