The nice thing about being on this particular planet in the death throes of late stage #Capitalism is that nothing really matters.
Nothing really matters at all.
And now Bohemian Rhapsody just played in your head. Isn't that great?

Those thinking about trying out Instagram Threads might wanna take a look at this screenshot showing the sheer amount of permissions it wants to access data on your device.

@richdevine Yea. They'll have to kill the entire project if it goes that way though, & start from scratch.. again.. I'm sure they'll care about the cost.

@richdevine We can hope. Also leaves me wondering how they're going to avoid their AI turning all racist & whatnot if they choose to feed it everything, including posts by botfarms.

Can't see this flying in the EU one little bit.

@homtrek Ah that's good to know. I think that's just about when I stopped being able to watch them though. Perhaps the new ones will appear too if P+ falls apart.

@homtrek Yea that deletion was weird & unfortunate. Trek & the films are the draw for me, but perhaps I'll wait until every series is cancelled, hoping they aren't also deleted, & then burn the trial on a huge binge.

@homtrek Ohh. I did not. Paramount+ is looking the most attractive of the secondary streaming services but I still can't afford it.

@homtrek That's.. weird. Wouldn't it spoil the entire first series?

@ardilamorin I'd always go for the higher end one if it's within budget. It'll last much longer (assuming no repeat of the accident) & save money.. unless you already have really expensive 13" bags/cases, etc.
