Subscriptions everywhere. Video, credit, energy bills (subscription for repairs/maintenance), music, news sites, YouTubers, CARS, etc. I can't fucking escape this hell!

Energy bills aren't really subscriptions like the others though. You pay for the energy you use.

Whereas with the others, you're paying the same price every month regardless of how much you use.

I have seen plans where you pay a fixed price/kWh; almost seemed like a decent deal, until I read the fine print - the regular fees & transportation/kWh is on top of the fixed cost.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yours doesn't come with a delivery fee that you'd have to pay every month regardless of any usage?

[–] SendMePhotos 2 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah. Does that count as a subscription too?

[–] SendMePhotos 0 points 10 months ago

The maintenance plan is in addition to the gas usage

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Other than energy bills, you'll just have to dodge the rest of the subscriptions as best you can.

I am doing my okayest.

[–] Cameri 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've done pretty well so far. Only subscription I have is for Spotify and 1Password.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why 1password when you can use bitwarden, its free for most features, and 10 bucks a year for features I don't need

[–] Cameri 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I like the convenience of the 2 factor being included with the paid version, and password autofill with TOTP seems to work much more often than Bitwarden (S23 Ultra, latest version of Android) So with that being said, I really like Bitwarden, but prefer 1Password for the convenience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

2fa is included in bitwarden, just not in the free version

Is it a password manager? I've been wondering if there's a good alternative to Keeper, which is what I use. I like that I can access my passwords on different devices, and it tells me if a password has been compromised or is weak. But, I've also been trying to save money. I think the one I'm using now is $30 a year so free or $10 a year for similar features would be an improvement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yes, bitwarden is a password manager, and A very good one at that
