Ich sags mal so: ein Iced Caramel Macchiato bei Starbucks ist etwa gleich teuer, wirkt aber weit weniger lange 😏

✨ Just supported open-source development! ✨
I donated ₹2,000 to help bring support for custom usernames to Prav.app, an awesome XMPP-based messaging app that makes it super easy to get started with just a phone number and OTP. 🛡️🔒

I’m excited to see this new feature roll out soon. Supporting privacy-focused and decentralized platforms feels great! 🌍📲

This N7 Day, please honor Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy by supporting the developers and creatives that BioWare/EA has harmed and continues to harm.

Layoffs are a choice, not a natural disaster. And employees are due fair severance pay and compensation--not intimidation, stalling, and refusal to pay fair wages.

I came here because Twitter effectively blocked Tweetbot and now I discover Reddit appears to be doing the same trick and Apollo will go the same way. Happy to pay a subscription but I don't want to see ads! So I suppose I'll have to check out Lemmy. Any other options? #CorporateGreed #SupportDevelopers #Reddit #BrokenInternet

Feeling nostalgic for the days of buying software instead of subscriptions? 💰 Check out my latest blog post, where I share my personal experiences and thoughts on why it's important to support the development of the apps and services we love!

Happy to give back, happy to pay

I miss the days when I bought software on my Mac instead of using a subscription. More and more software and services are moving to subscription-based models. In this blog post, I want to share my thoughts on subscriptions, including those that I am grateful for paying for and those that I have stopped paying for. By working with open-source software I learned how important it is to give back and support the developers (and companies) that are providing services that we like, or not paying them if we don’t!

In other news, @apps is pretty much my favorite #Android #Mastodon app and the best few bucks I've spent in the Google Play Store.
