There are far too many loopholes for me not to hate companies be they small or large.

In Australia, "family trusts" are a sure way to write off a good chunk of your expenses (groceries, fuel and so on) while paying yourself a wage. If you really want you can cook the books taking cash sales for yourself too.

Don't forget about "taking" whatever you want from the company, and writing that off as a loss.

Maybe I should hate people, but in a vacuum people are reasonable, logical and honorable. But once we introduce a "well maybe" or an "but what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?" my view of people becomes skewed.

I guess, I wanted to vent about how fucked everything seems to be and that I feel powerless to do anything about it. GameStop as a company probably deserve the rocks in boxes, Amazon deserve them too, all because people are running those companies.

I'm not above greed, but I'd like to think / feel that I put out more than I take and it seems quite uncommon in our modern society.

There is an android version: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/io.freetubeapp.freetube

However I prefer Grayjay: https://grayjay.app/

Ahh yeah the price is a waiting game for me, Apple products hold onto their value and for me having the bleeding edge isn't what I'm chasing these days.

Guess I'll wait and see how the Qualcomm products go on the used market for their price.

I got my 4800hs for a steal; maybe I need to aim lower.

Linux on Qualcomm laptops really that bad? I've been considering a purchase of a 1st gen once the 2nd gen comes out (probably grab an ex display model on the cheap).

I've not been following developments closely enough, but I know the battery life (in windows at least) is tiers better than my current 4800hs / 1650 with 65% battery health.

I've too considered a MacBook, but their never within my budget for the spec that I want, guess I was too hopeful about Qualcomm laptops 😞

Gives me Sonos vibes.

I won a Sonos speaker years ago, thing needed (from memory) an app to switch to AUX mode. The speaker sounded great but I didn't want to install an app just to use the thing.

In a grand spectacle my ex's cat kicked a potplant off a windowsill into our fish tank. That shorted a power board, we didn't have breakers (ceramic / wire fuses) which ended up killing the speaker.

Honestly as nice of a speaker it was, good riddance.

Works for my Logi mouse, was very happy when I found the package (thanks nixpkgs search)

Ratbagd / Piper doesn't work for your mouse?

Man, I used that app in 2014... Still remember torrenting music on my phone one the way to Melbourne for a concert 😅

I'd suggest alternatives from fdroid over the play store.

Was another perk switching to Linux, my keyboard I can bake in profiles (using a windows VM) then dispose of that VM once my keyboard is setup the way I wanted.

SteelSeries software is horrendous, up there with the Razer.

Man the Logi settings app was utter trash, so slow to run or even change settings.

Ratbagd + Piper gave me the ability to change my DPI (no switch on the super light) without any bloat.

Pornhub, or touching grass. Either order really.

I'd been paying for premium YouTube for a few years, the family plan had a massive spike in price and I'd had enough from there. Been using Grayjay for the past few months only watching a couple of channels, but if this goes live it will kill the platform for me.

The bundled YouTube music sub really doesn't sell it for me either, sure it's got some more niche music compared to other platforms but it's not a drop-in replacement (especially for the better half).

All and all I'm probably one of the few that will tap out of the platform, will be interesting to see the fallout.

Probably, but don't most things these days go out of their way to kill us anyway? 😅
