Every damn time. IMO, it’s not really free if it requires a payment method; free trials should automatically end when the time is up instead of making you the one responsible for canceling to avoid being charged.
What kind of psycho gets a knuckle tat on the inside of their knuckles?

Jim@lemm.eeto You Should Know@lemmy.world•You should learn how to properly write accessible image captions as the fediverse has a large amount of blind and visually impaired users who rely on screen readers25·2 years agoAlt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what’s essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don’t need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what’s going on.
As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image’s meaning than its aesthetics. This means you’re not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.
I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.

If you really don’t have headphones, at least turn it down or hold the speaker closer to your ear so you’re not just annoying everyone in a 10-meter radius.

Paraphrased, it says: “this made me think hard because I don’t like either option”
Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.
Ravaging to the constitution, indeed. I’ve already fainted thrice just since reading the headline!
Nice trick with the bell pepper, I may have to copy that

What a champ. Halfway through, I was sure he’d end up in a doctor’s office getting a minor emergency surgery.
If I don’t get a text or voice-mail right after the missed call, that’s how I know it was a scammer. If someone really wants to contact me they’ll try option B
Jim@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?English10·2 years agoIn a past thread on this topic, I’ve seen a few indie artists say that they benefit because Spotify amplifies their audience. They make crap on the streams, but a larger audience base is worth the trade-off since they’ll be able to sell more concert tickets and merchandise.
I recommend you check out TheFreePizzaDude on Imgur. There is a limit to how often you can receive donations (like once every other month), but they will help with getting you a pizza or even some regular groceries if you ask.
