Coffee?

I guess it’s not the Ciabatta I know. Light on the inside, crispy on the outside.

The light crispy stuff though. It’s still common in NZ. Love it.

When did Ciabatta buns go out of vogue?

There is still shit to block when you’re paying for premium, so yeah.

I used Boost when it was for Reddit, and never looked back. It’s got everything I could need so yeah. All that for Lemmy is amazing.

Fair. I paid the small one-off fee to disable ads and yeah, that’s that. :)

Tell your friends about the Boost app. It makes things so much easier.

What do you recommend?

I want something that I can set up and forget about, that costs a few bucks a month or less, and integrates between all my devices. Security is a given, so let’s assume spyware or not, the data is safe unless I fuck up.

Fair. I’m not knocking that choice if it’s for you. But it isn’t for most people, especially those who are not at all tech savvy.

I work in IT, and almost nobody who opted to use external hard drives for backup is ever up to date with their backups.

Nobody has any good explanation for why though.

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

Sounds utterly illegal, and likely to lead to countless lawsuits. They’ve got better phone support than Google, especially when you’re a paying customer, and I’m not expecting one of the biggest corporations on the planet to just up and leave with my data, and I’ve sure as shit never heard of it happening.

Microsoft products have a bunch of problems I’m happy to moan about, and a UX team that I swear doesn’t even use M$ products, but data security does not seem to be one of them.

Unpopular opinion: OneDrive automatic integration is amazing. Get a new PC, login, boom. PC at your parents’ house? Boom.

I tried open source file syncing and it was jank. Everyone making their own cloud is inefficient anyway.

I just wish windows phone was still a thing and it could all be on the Microsoft account. It remains better value than any other offering.

That said, if it’s not your thing and you don’t want any of it, I agree there should be a big red “I’ve got this” button if you want to go full manual transmission. Well, windows style, maybe circa Windows 7. Linux is only for those for whom playing with settings is why they computer.

Also “personalisation” can eat a dick. And stop fucking asking me for feedback. You get 1 star everytime just for asking. I’m done. /rant
