NowTV. Only used it to watch F1 races live, but it's pointless during the off-season, and watching races live with two kids is near enough impossible to enjoy. Plus they purposely make you wait a day before putting sessions on for catch-up, so I just cancelled it and find other ways of watching the sessions.

I go through my patreon account every January and weed out dead channels. Must have been one of those.

I recently cancelled my Tuta subscription; their cheapest tier's price comes close to renting a server and hosting your own email, but I can also use the server for anything else I want :D

I got grandfathered into the 12€ per year subscription, but the new current tiers are indeed quite expensive

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

Rent. But I hade to get another one soon after

Amazon. I used the free month then cancelled.

I've recently cancelled apple, netflix and kindle unlimited. Netflix yanked the price up and so much on it is shit quality. I still have amazon telly and disney, so apple had to go (although its VG). I need disney for the sitcoms.

Cable internet. (Cox)

Got tired of paying over $100/mo for an unreliable 500Mbps line with a shit 10Mbps upload and a pointless data cap.

Now I pay $50/mo for 5G fixed wireless. 1500Mbps both ways and no stupid data cap. Even with a tree blocking line-of-sight, it's still more reliable than cable ever was.

Made the switch 4 years ago and haven't looked back (I don't subscribe to many things).

What is the latency like, who did you go with?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Good enough to play competitive PC shooters (less than 40ms for servers 2 states away on the west coast).

Verizon 5G Home internet (the one with the big white box that mounts in your window, not the slower one with the small white box that goes anywhere).

Local e-commerce subscription (e.g. Amazon prime-like); well, I'm not sure if it counts as cancelling 😅:

For €4 you get 1 month subscription of free shipping for orders above €25. They started a few years ago with like €12 for the annual plan (€15 minimum total order from multiple stores), then increased the price, then it became €15 per store, then increased the minimum order, then increased the price again, etc

I don't want to encourage the enshittification, so now with the monthly plans I can just buy it when I need it and immediately disable auto-reneweal 😅 They also started adding social features: now the front page has their own implementation of a short videos thing (like TikTok), with influencers showing various products and bad "reviews" 🙄 So I reaaally don't want to be throwing money into that

I'm really surprised that people have subscriptions to all kinds of shit. The only things I pay subscriptions for are Netflix and Peacock, which total about $10 per month. I can't recall cancelling any subscriptions because I don't sign up for a bunch of shit in the first place.

I only have my phone and that's prepaid.

Why? I just signed up, quite happy with them.

Proton's CEO praised Trump/the Republican Party and got criticised for it.

They also closed their Mastodon account probably because of people tagging them because of what the CEO said.
