Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

I had a sous vide steak at a restaurant before I knew that it was French for 'boil in a bag'. Thats how I knew to never buy a sous vide machine.
Sous vide steaks are the best way to cook a steak. If you get a steak at a high end restaurant, it will be sous vide no matter what. And no, it’s not “boil in a bag”. Smh.
Please explain how putting food in a plastic bag and then immersing it in hot water differs from “boil in a bag”
It's a bit more involved. You need to vacuum seal your food so you have a consistent temperature across entirety of the surface. You don't really boil the water either, you have to keep it as an exact temperature and keep it circulating. That way you can cook food in seasonings and marinades to a perfect temperature then pan sear afterward for color with out losing any juices.
If you just throw food in a bag and boil it, you'll probably be disappointed with the comparison to actual sous vide cooking.
Because it’s not boiling? I mean the difference is in the name you gave it!?
