Heartfelt thanks to those of you that have followed us from @X, and to all newcomers to our audience here on @Bluesky.app. #DigiBlogChat is all about you and sharing ideas and knowledge. Without you it would be a lot less enjoyable.

Between questions, we’d like to announce next week’s topic: Favorite Quotes and Why! With @lazblazter.bsky.social! #DigiBlogChat

I watch whatever podcasts I want on YouTube where they are available like other videos. #DigiBlogChat

Yes, in the Post Office. And we have an actual, tiny local library in an old house in my village... and the rather mightier one in town.

If I shared a picture of my library, you'd probably laugh. They have an actual old-school file to find books, and they type your library card ON A TYPEWRITER. I love it. #DigiBlogChat

Q9. What other subscription service would you like to cancel? #DigiBlogChat

Haha, reminds me of the quip from someone asked how they managed to read all the books they had: "I don't have to read them, because I've got them ... you have to read them, because you haven't!!" 🤣 #DigiBlogChat

Oh my gosh! That's three trending alerts! #DigiBlogChat

A8 Hire monks who'll do piecework for beer and a stipend to keep their quills filled. #DigiBlogChat

No, but only because it comes free with my Amazon Prime. It's still probably my least-used video service, but there's the odd thing I'll watch on there.

What??? How did I not know about Libretube? #DigiBlogChat

A7 Your local public library's digital services! You can use apps like Libby or Hoopla, or through a dedicated local library website for FREE. #DigiBlogChat #SupportLocalLibraries #PublicLibrary #LibrariesForLife #BookSky

A4: Pixelmator Pro. That good, Apple bought it to use themselves.

Q7. What could you use instead of your Kindle eBook subscription? #DigiBlogChat

And again! #DigiBlogChat

Q5. How would you do backups without a subscription service? #DigiBlogChat

Q4. Is there a good replacement for Adobe Photoshop? Do tell! #DigiBlogChat

A5 I put the gun down and back up slowly so nobody gets hurt. #DigiBlogChat PS: Every story I've written is in it's separate Google Doc.

I do all photo alterations inside the camera on my cellphone. #DigiBlogChat

A3. Maybe, after we add up all our subscriptions! #DigiBlogChat Not sure, Netflix? Oh wait, we pay for that also...

Wow! That was fast! #DigiBlogChat

A2 LibreOffice! It’s a private, free and open source office suite (and the successor project to OpenOffice). It's also compatible with Microsoft Office/365 files. #DigiBlogChat

A3. There are many streaming services you can use instead of Amazon prime, such as Netflix. #DigiBlogChat

A3 Our youngster has us on his YouTube Prime account. I don't think we have Amazon Prime video. #DigiBlogChat

A2 #DigiBlogChat Apple Pages and with several other reasonable word processing applications. I think I'm allergic to Microsoft products (despite finding myself using LinkedIn and a derivative of Visual Studio Code!)

Q3. Would you ever opt out of Amazon Prime video? What would you replace it with? #DigiBlogChat

Q1. Have you ever added up what you pay for all your subscriptions? #DigiBlogChat

Right? That exercise took me a few minutes, thinking about the subscriptions. Some things used to be free! #DigiBlogChat

A1 I'm trying to remember what subscriptions I pay for or which are optional: plumbing service, home appliance and electrical coverage, grocery club, AAA membership, and so on. #DigiBlogChat

That's one subscription I'd like to keep, Jim! #DigiBlogChat

Today’s topic? Opting out of Subscriptions #DigiBlogChat

Hey #DigiBlogChat, sorry I am late to this one, only just got home from picking my Dad up from hospital and taking him home and checking he is set up safely. Feels like I have been MIA for too long, back to normal next week with luck.

Goodnight, musical Dragons! You are awesome, as always! #DigiBlogChat

Q9. What was your most memorable live concert? #DigiBlogChat

Difficult pick. Following punk from 1977 there was some great reggae, two tone, ska but 80s and 80s also

A9. Can’t pick just one, sorry! Seeing NSYNC with my best friends when they had just made it big. Seeing Paul McCartney twice! And taking my daughter to her first concert on Saturday to see Benson Boone. #digiblogchat

#digiblogchat - What could possibly go right?

Q7. Which decade wins for best music? #DigiBlogChat

I told my boyfriend the '70s was the best decade and he made a playlist but it has 3,000 songs on it. It still needs curating, tho. #DigiBlogChat
