I wasn’t expecting to read Bob Dylan lyrics in a memes community but I’m not disappointed

Great song btw

Yeah fair, >1,000,000,000 compared to ~40,000,000

€20 per year? That’s crazy. My girlfriend and I share a plan and combined pay almost $150 (about €100) per month (so $75 = €50 per month each)

About $40/mo. for 100mbps for wifi. Cellular, I share with my girlfriend who gets a discount through work, we share 200GB for about $150/mo.

At least home wifi isn’t as insane as cellular here I guess. We get American ads on the break room TV at work, their cellular plans are pennies compared to what we have to pay north of the border

I get half and pay double, and thought that was quite reasonable

What are your cellular plans like?

Wait you guys get internet for €13/month? cries in Canadian

I disagree, my goal is to get her to groan. When she rolls her eyes and leaves the room I know I’ve done a good job

I like this line of thinking and hope we get more of it. Feels like a lot of people on this community are of the mindset that you have to either go all the way with online privacy or not at all. Going all in isn’t practical for the average individual and can scare people off. It’s just not worth it for a lot of people in their minds. Most people probably like the idea of privacy but aren’t willing to change phones and operating systems, use a completely different set of services, all that. I think we should focus on trying to help someone with what they’ve got rather than telling them they have to completely change the way they operate online. Give a list of settings to tweak, suggest an ad blocker, suggest alternative services but don’t make it sound mandatory, and don’t berate someone for using an iPhone or watching YouTube for example. Acting like that will probably scare people away and make them not want to interact with the community which would be a shame. It would also probably lead to them continuing to do mad online habits because they left before they could get educated. I think it’s about balance. Being slightly less anonymous online might be worth it if it means a considerably smoother experience, for the average person

I haven’t had issues with the sync yet. I would’ve thought it would be the limited features of the free version that people didn’t like. Maybe I haven’t used it enough to deal with syncing issues yet?

That’s a good point actually, I never thought about that. I might do Joplin with Dropbox in that case

I just started using Joplin and I’m quite liking it so far. Opening the task manager on my pc and I can definitely see it likes to use up memory, but hopefully that won’t be much of an issue. It takes a few moments to synchronize but that’s alright. It has more features than the free version of Standard Notes, but SN feels a bit smoother if that makes sense. Still not sure which I prefer quite yet but we’ll see
