Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.

Researchers were able to clone a user’s entire Signal session by copying the local storage directory, allowing them to access the chat history on a separate device

This has actually been useful for me in the past when reinstalling my OS lmao. In an ideal world we could reverify by entering a code from our phones to unlock the desktop local storage after moving it. My biggest wish for Signal is more seamless message history movement across devices and ecosystems. Fuck even proper back ups would be nice.

I agree with almost everything you said. I'm not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can't trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It's a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol

Mandatory reminder that if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.

I wouldn't really use that comparison. The discord update resembles the old one. But old reddit and new reddit are damn near unrecognizable to one another.

Oh absolutely! I wouldn't trust them with anything mission critical but for little projects here and there they're absolutely amazing.

I'd recommend racknerd. Their black Friday pricing is available year round and they have super good annual pricing on some of their VPS options https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/
