this may sound insignificant on a "grand scheme" or from populist perspective, but in practice it's actually very helpful and useful, and most importantly very grounded in reality.
especially when it comes to entertainment services and their "discounts" under certain conditions, or quiet renewals. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/09/andy-burnham-british-people-ripped-off-cost-of-living

If you have #subscription for #apps or digital services, please check your transactions.
I have just refunded two transactions this week.
One for customers who bought the Lifetime License during free trial, then the trial ended and turned into yearly subscription.
And another one bought Lifetime License during active subscription, then it renews when it ended.
The thing is, they don't even realize it, and I happened to noticed it accidentally.

#Smartphone #manufacturers are exploring #leasing, #subscription, and #buyback programmes to encourage #upgrades as consumers hold onto their devices longer. These models, while not ideal for everyone, can be cost-effective for frequent upgraders and help manufacturers retain customers within their ecosystems. While outright ownership will likely persist, these alternative ownership models are expected to become more prevalent. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/01/should-you-still-buy-your-next-smartphone-or-subscribe-to-it-instead/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

I had missed the last update that @MakerTube was switching to a paid subscription model, to help cover the costs. But, I saw a Toot about it just now, and... I set up my subscription (with some efforts, as my brain fog 😶🌫️ was not helping me) plan, which now shows up on my profile info, so I guess I did it right!
My little space on #MakerTube is currently using ±30GB. The plan I entered will support to 100GB, so... I should be OK to share more Koa vids (among others) for some time to come! 😁

Thanks to the Admin and Mods of MakerTube.net for keeping the site ad-free and well moderated/updated. I'd rather support the platform with a small monthly fee, than hassle with ads and selling my data.

Oh, look! Another thrilling #newsletter #subscription pitch disguised as an article about a protocol nobody's heard of 🤦♂️. Watch as our hero bemoans the shocking development of #ATProto while secretly hoping someone cares enough to ask him about it at a #conference in #Berlin 🤷♂️. Spoiler alert: #AI #coding is still a thing. 🙄

Hypothetical Question:
Imagine you are a software developer with an application you offer as both as a monthly subscription or a once-off lifetime purchase that would equate to 2-3 years of being subscribed.If someone approached you and demonstrated they’d been paying the monthly subscription for a while, longer than the lifetime license would cost, and asked if you could switch their subscription to a lifetime license for free (or maybe just a small fee), would you say yes?
If no, reply to me why not (excluding the lazy tax easy passive money reason)

“Now that organisations have been weaned off earlier 'all you can eat' #subscription plans and onto 'pay-as-you-go' metered #token consumption, they're all in various stages of sticker shock.
Several talks at the conference discussed managing token costs, such as AJ Fisher's exploration of 'diffusion' models. Analogous to the diffusers used to generate images, they generate text at lighting speed, making them cheaper to operate while also being less accurate than the pricey and slower “autoregressive” #FrontierModels.
Fisher's solution? Use a low-quality model and make it iterate on a problem (that new classic, the #RalphWiggumLoop) until it gets a satisfactory solution. This approach delivers the same result as a full-fat model, for anywhere from one half to one tenth the spend. #Google released its #DiffusionGemma model, which produces text at prodigious speed, just days after Fisher's talk, giving everyone the ability to try this approach.” — #MarkPesce

This is a very familiar story. I was a user of Adobe Lightroom from very early versions. When Adobe first introduced subscriptions I stuck with purchase option for as long as I could. I did end up with a subscription for a while.
But then my daughter was studying graphic design and I discovered Affinity Photo. I switched and have never looked back. Sure there are a few things I miss but not enough to pay subscriptions.
This also happened with Quicken. I have years of financial transactions in Quicken. When Quicken introduced subscriptions I just remained using Quicken 17.
When Apple switched to Apple Silicon, I was thankful for Rosetta to allow me to continue using Quicken 17 and I still do today.
Now Rosetta will soon sunset and I have never found anything to replace Quicken, so I have been writing my own system

🚨 BREAKING: #LWN is still dealing with the dastardly #scraper #menace, and they've come up with a groundbreaking solution: *drumroll*... ask for money! 💸 Apparently, reading about the universe of #Linux now requires a #subscription because, clearly, no one else could possibly report on #free #software. 🙄
