Yeah exactly. "Just" 240 MB, it's still a lot for a glorified chat app

Exactly. I'm using a fork, which is AI-generated, but still way better and lighter than the original client: https://spotifast.rocks/

Exactly. The world can't vote for the US elections, yet we all depend on them.

Openshot has a long history. It used to be super buggy in the past, I haven't tried it recently. But at least is not some new kind of AI slop.

RCS is completely useless in Europe because nobody uses texts anymore.

I've disabled it because I don't want Google to manage my 2FA texts

Yeah Wero is more of a PayPal replacement than a credit card alternative.

The sad thing is that Italy has a Wero-like app, used especially in the North of the country, called Satispay. But apparently Satispay is not participating in the European Payment Initiative (EPI). And, the saddest things of them all, is that Satispay began as an alternative to credit cards, but now they issue a MasterCard so you can pay in every shop. Wtf the whole point of Satispay was not using American cards!

WTF is this AI slop

We should get rid of the dollar as an international currency, and also credit cards from MasterCard/VISA

I hope the UK will rejoin the EU soon. Brexit has been a shit show, and most of the people who voted to leave are dead by now anyway.

Amazon is completely useless now. Most of the things they sell are cheap shit from China with a huge markup.

Just go on AliExpress directly and you'll find the same exact products for half, or even one third, of the price.

And for all other things, try local online shops. There are price aggregator services that help you find online shops for all the stuff you need.

Amazon is useless and they don't deserve any money.

I highly suggest you to read "Enshittification" by Cory Doctorow, especially the new and updated version.

They stripped our freedom to own our devices. We need a revolution.

+1 for Fossify, the developer is a great guy who forked the old and now ad-riddled Simple Gallery
