Also, who knows if Netlify didn't provoque the ddos to make free loaners pay?

I don't need AI in my f*ing phone! It's just a phone, FFS!

simonced ,

What I meant is that I use it just as a phone (a bit more useful yes).
Calls, sms/messages/emails, music and some pictures rarely.
That's it.

I don't work in financial reporting, and I have no clue what even EBITDA is...

But even me, I come to the same conclusion!^^

simonced ,

I am using their services for a couple years now, and their plan have increased, but not my bill.

Also, they increase storage from time to time.

Kagi is paid service, but the results are so good!
