I really doubt that.

Czechia. In many supermarkets “discounts” only apply when you have a card/app. Essentially the “discount” is normal price, otherwise you’ll pay nearly double.

I’m using fake names on all those things, but prices without loyalty are often insane. It’s basically an extra tourist tax.

I rarely use cash. Nearly everything I spend is on supermarket and they know exactly what I buy because we’re forced to use their “loyalty” programs anyway.

Then traveling: dealing with other currencies, coming home with unspendable money. And there’s no interest on cash lying around.

But I hate the tendency for places to not accept cash at all, there should still be a choice.

One bonus is that I keep finding money on the streets in countries that love cash.

Depends where you go. My Czech bank card is a debit card with a number on it that you can use like a credit card. Dutch banks don’t have this and we use different online payment methods. I never really needed a credit card for anything (until I traveled in France) so the price to have one is not worth it.

You’re not supporting development, you’re supporting a rich guy getting richer:

Interesting to note that the Mozilla CEO earned nearly as much ($5.6 M) as Mozilla received in donations ($7 M).

No, you have to link Google if you want to pay with your phone. But you can also just get their physical card instead.

That’s unnecessarily clickbaity, the article doesn’t mention it’s specifically nudes that came back, just old photos.

Giving it a try since I haven’t heard of this.

It seems to have cool options, but for navigation it’s just completely unusable.

According to statistics on my server, it’s 57% Chrome, 14% Safari and 12% Firefox. Also 10% use Linux. I’m not hosting anything tech related though.

Anyways, adblocking is kind of essential. Even the boomers ask what’s wrong when ads start showing. The only people I’ve seen browsing without adblock are Apple users.

She puts a sim card in another phone that’s used as a hotspot. The title suggests she doesn’t use a sim.

Years ago, Facebook kept nagging about privacy settings and almost pushed users to turn off all tracking etc.

Now, my Facebook always says there is no recent activity, downloading all data from FB shows they seem to have nothing on me. So are they just lying about what they share with who?

If you care so much about privacy, you shouldn’t use Facebook at all. But for me, Frost has made Facebook useable at least. And it works now. Once it doesn’t, I’ll get rid of it

For Facebook, use Frost. For Instagram: Aeroinsta.

Creating a new Google account isn’t even possible without a phone number anymore. I had a new account which I didn’t use in a while and it decided I need some old phone number to confirm my log in. There’s no way to log in, recover or delete the account. There’s no way I’m putting my daily account to that risk by giving them whatever phone number I have now

Not sure, but it works

I wonder what made people switch. I’ve used Firebird/Firefox since the beginning, have all my settings right and all the right addins. I would expect people to be too lazy to switch, even if Chrome would be better (which it isn’t).
