  • Oh right, those. I honestly completely forgot that's a thing. And is a fair point, even tho I just use physical cards I totally understand the convenience and security benefits of token based payment systems like that

  • 100% agreed. Azure too. Honestly Hetzner as well, to a lesser extent

  • USA

  • Seems like you can't re-lock the bootloader after installing an alternative OS, for one

  • Open box shit sold as new, same/next/2 day deliveries getting delayed more often than not, counterfeits, genuinely dangerously unsafe products, a supply chain full of exhausted and burned out workers... Yeah it's all so fucked. I can only hope their retail business collapses as it's increasingly indistinguishable from aliexpress or ebay

  • I don't blame you at all, though there are definitely some tradeoffs

  • what car from the last 15 years isn't, though?

    I abhor Tesla and their nazi CEO but to think any other automaker is any better with regard to privacy or openness?

  • Rivians are silly. Much less silly than the Cybertruck but still excessively large and heavy with pedestrian-murdering front ends, among other gripes like not having a glovebox or a power button

  • gcp, azure, hetzner, digitalocean, linode..

  • Such as?

  • Agreed. Target isn't perfect (no corpo is) but I buy from them still

  • News outlets change their own headlines constantly, hell I'm almost certain they serve different headlines at the same time to see which gets more clicks.

  • I'm too afraid of Helvetica

  • so is amazon

  • bhphotovideo has been very good to me

  • It's unfortunately really not that simple. But for a short answer, I use Aurora Store for anything I can't get from F-Droid., and even tho I have the Google Play Store installed (as some apps require it for stuff like notifications or location) I'm not ever signed into it and I don't use it to install or update apps
