I use privacy.com, free service, let's you create a virtual card for each subscription, then pause or cancel a card.

This way if I cancel Netflix I can also pause the card, if they try and bill be it'd be processed as a failed transaction.

Free teir only let's you make 6 cards / month but after a couple months you should be able to get everything moved over.

(Also cards are locked to the vendor so if the card gets compromised it can't be used anywhere else)

Got a link to the program your using? I had used playon.tv when I got their $40 lifetime license, then they decided people only live 6 years.

So I'm hoping to find a way to link up the meta data for all my already downloaded and keep up with new videos.

Musk is somebody who is used to running a startup, where if you fire everybody and shut down operations for a couple years while government subsides and pre-orders are happy to wait 6 years for things to actually be delivered.

It doesn't work for a business that needs to remain operational.

Alot of companies announced layoffs, it was typically only 2-7% of their workforce. Elon laid off 75%+

And yes, a lot of his actions are necessary moves. He needed a transition plan

Some make the argument that batteries are already replaceable if you get the right tools, but it's not even a matter of making it possible.

I think it's more about making it so you aren't voiding your warranty and that the option is there.

Otherwise you replaced your battery and they decide they will never offer any support for your phone because you dared touch it.

Not to say his steps aren't ones that should be taken, it's the ways and means that alot of people are taking issue with.

When he took over Twitter it was unprofitable, and the steps he's taking are ones that would be recommended for alot of struggling startups. But not for a major buisness.

Elon is used to moving quickly and breaking things often, as with a startup it's fine if there are disruptions for a while or take years to become profitable.

(Messaging from mastodon server) I think so too. Your posts may not follow, but the freedom to move from one server to another, and the freedom to follow posts and info from other servers means if threads wants me to join they'd need make the experience better than anywhere else, or I can leave and still follow anybody I was following before.
