I was looking for an #app to teach me how to play the #piano. I was testing several and for one I forgot to cancel the #subscription before the end of the trial periode. So, I guess the die is cast. I will use this one. 🙄

And it's not like people and espechally businesses are unwilling to pay for good tools, cuz not only is HootSuite still around, but @tapbots, who made the excellent TweetBot nowadays make @ivory, an excellent #ActivityPub client with focus on #Mastodon that people are willing to pay a #subscription for!

• And from what I could see from users who pay for it, they are not just happy, but it also looks and feels better than #TweetDeck in it's golden days...

Anything written before 2023 will have less #enshittification. However, nothing beats the '80s. Probably the peak of #software development, everything was tight and clean. Yeah it might not have a lot of bells and whistles, but it works every time. I turn it on, there's no #AI, there's no asking me to pay a #subscription, there's no internet connection required, no goddamn #advertisements. I open a word processor and I fucking type.
