  • I'm not the prepper person either, but I like to be self-sufficient and not be overly reliant on modern technology. My primary use case has been during travels.

  • All under the guise of "free speech". Which, as we all know, means speech that align with Elon's currently held opinions.

  • But shouldn't it be 8 < 1

    That would be a pair of scissors, on its way to cut the number 1.

  • Epic Games (lolwhat?) bought it in 2022, but sold to Songtradr in 2023. The latter seems to be some kind of music license broker.

  • If you are using Paypal, log in to Paypal and go to Bills. Select Spotify and scroll down - there should be a link to cancel the subscription at the bottom.

  • I really hope there's nothing dodgy going on there

    In 2023 they got a 1.1 million SEK fine for breaking the law that regulates working hours. To "allow" (strongly encourage) your employees to work nightshifts you need a collective agreement approved by the union, which they didn't have.

    More recently, they got a 500 million SEK fine for skirting the anti-money laundering regulations in Sweden.

    But at least I'm not giving them interest on anything I buy. Always make sure I'm paying my stuff on time, and no postponed payments.

    The whole "buy now, pay later" deal is a credit loan. They are most likely paying the merchant directly and using your loan as collateral to speculate on the market, until you pay them back for that loan. If that's true, they are making profit on the interest gained from your loan.

    I'm guessing their business model is to exploit people who have issues paying on time and to collect interest and late fees, as well as receive convenience fees from stores implementing Klarna as a payment option.

    Correct. Like all credit banks they promote the "buy now, pay later" option before direct payment, which is becoming a pandemic on our society. Hardly any user interaction needed. They also offer their own payment plans which encourages buying even more expensive items you cannot afford.

  • Websites blocking e-mail aliases

    Jump

  • A tip is to host your own domain at an e-mail provider that allow you to receive e-mail for any recipient in a single mailbox (i.e. catch-all or wildcard), and use the following alias format when signing up at different websites or services:

    <website>@<yourdomain.tld>

    This allows you to filter incoming e-mail by which website/service you signed up for, regardless of what domain they send e-mail from (it can be different for account notifications vs newsletters etc.).

    It will also help you detect if they have sold your contact details or had a data breach without announcing it publicly, since you wouldn't use that specific e-mail alias elsewhere.

  • Curated list of banking app support for GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • Good point! The details for each app are crowdsourced and can be submitted via the instructions here. However, the default templates does not include any mention of root status.

    The maintainer of the site can be reached via any medium listed here if anyone would like to suggest updating the templates to include root status.

  • DivestOS sounds interesting but I am wary of any "mission-critical" software project (such as the firmware for my primary phone) that relies on a single person, for multiple reasons. Burnout and potential for social engineering by malicious actors being two of them.

  • GP:s comment made me curious as well. Usually, if multiple hardware vendors are supported there are separate branches with different maintainers. It doesn't necessarily mean that the main codebase is bloated as a result.
