That long slim beak, perfectly designed for urban rummaging!
🤔 Probably why they seem to be booming in this city.

I got sick of subscriptions, so I got Affinity Photo 2 for iPad as it was a reasonably priced one time purchase.
I cannot recommend it highly enough. I made a post about it here:
So true!
Most things I do on it can be done as well or better elsewhere.
However, I really like Photo editing on my iPad Pro using the Apple pencil.
It's now my preferred platform for that.
What I would find useful is a way to follow specific Lemmy users on Mastodon.
Nice. I'll participate whenever I have some time.
I'm spending way more time!
I didn't really like the community in Reddit that much. I used it more like a news feed. So I never read 'all', I just read my subs for a few minutes here and there, but I didn't post and comment much.
Since coming here I post and comment a lot more. There seems to be more proper discussion here, despite being much smaller and quieter.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
In terms of blocking ads, I run Adguard (lifetime sub), which blocks ads system wide - even in apps.
Synced bookmarks could be good though.
I have been with idrive since 2009. At the time they were the only ones that allowed backups of network attached storage on their cheaper personal plans. Everyone else saw that as an "enterprise" feature which required a business plan. Which was bullsh*t, because lots of home NAS devices were being sold.
Anyway, I haven't done a recent comparison of services, but I remain happy with idrive.
Thesedays I no longer backup on a computer with a mapped drive, but directly from my NAS which runs the idrive software.
I had a catastrophic dual drive failure a few years ago, one failed and another failed during the raid rebuild! I was able to restore about 1tb of data and didn't lose anything important.
They also offer backup and restore by shipping a drive to you if you want to avoid the huge initial backup or a total restore, but I haven't used that feature.
They do also have a mobile app, but last time I tried it, it wasn't great.
Wait - this changes everything!!
On desktop it's mainly Firefox, on mobile it's mainly the stock Samsung browser.
But I've started using Edge a bit more on mobile lately since I discovered its reading mode, which makes for a very clean readable format to read articles.
Wow, do both sound great.
I also mostly just search manually, but am looking at setting up something more automated soon.
I used to use all of this stuff many years ago, but less so in recent years.
But the fragmentation and rising costs of paid services and the way every single thing is becoming a subscription is annoying the hell out of me. It's like they are trying to do their best to push me back to this stuff!
Anyway, I see both of the above services are invite only, if anyone can spare one I'd be really grateful!
