It could be classed as a hate crime. Don't worry you ain't going to get jailed for accidentally using the wrong pronouns.

That theory is a bit lost when someone doesn't need the latest smartphone to begin with. Even if they were to break after 18 months, which they aren't and the market is certainly moving towards devices lasting longer, its easy to pick up a decent mid range or flagship for half that price monthly or comparable second hand.

Remember when everyone said netflix would die after password sharing ended?

Wouldn't it be just for that missile?

My local library has signs up asking us to use the services as much as possible. Everything is recorded for budget reasons. They can justify there place if they can show we have x visitors for y.

Why are they doing this? So the council can decide which library is under performing so it can be closed so people can go to the big library in the city centre.

It's a terrible plan.

That's possible and will happen, but most likely it's that within the group who can't afford a 30 quid contract, there will be a contingent who will take it out anyway and that smaller group will get the headlines and that's what we chat about.

It ain't as sexy to talk about then people who budget relentlessly to make ends meet and still struggle.

Yes. But we will continue to do it. I have no idea when it will stop.

I dunno man. I used to be on the dole, it was something like 56 quid a week? Anyway, I didn't have the money to go into a mobile phone shop and get shopped into a 30 quid contract. I had the bog standard pay as you go.

Seo and getting dunked on by salespersons are not good excuses for why the state should manage a persons money. If you are skint, you tend to be really good at budgeting.

The issues tories have is with people who want to have it 'all' and not cut their cloth accordingly.

Granted I'm fairly sure if every poor person sat on their hands all day, they'd complain about that too.

Yes. What's the norm for editing a post?

I'm suggesting they will remove it eventually like Netflix.

Texts are typically free these days, especially at 30 quid a month.

Yeah, I agree with this. However there's prolly more people who were not doing well financially prior to the contract compared to those who were fine and then suddenly in the shits.

Tories are weird, they want us spending money and aspiring us to achieve more yet seemingly want people to sit in a dark room eating gruel.

Indont understand the logic of 'theres tailbacks now because of 20mph'. Surely there are tailbacks because someone is doing 20mph and someone is doing 30mph.

A £30 contract is not needed to have a phone to browse the Internet.

This is what people said with password sharing though.

Smae with password sharing etc.

Adverts set to 137pc volume is absolutely crackers.

Oh sheesh I hipe this doesn't change on the Web browser.

I'm on an app, so no joy for me until I figure it out. Prollh could in 15 seconds if I read a faq or something. But, I like to complain too much.

I don't even know how to get on other instances. I'm on lemmy world and that's it. I think. Its confusing.
