I have cut off most mainstream social media from my life, also starting from the Reddit exodus. What strikes me from this post is the idea you are pursuing data privacy as a way to be “superior” to other people, and not only that, you separate yourself from this person by calling them a character. I dunno, it sounds like you are doing things for the wrong reasons.

I joined the fediverse because I saw the business models of the mainstream sites becoming more and more abusive and manipulative towards their users. Staying on those platforms just felt distasteful. If others want to stay there, that’s up to them. Weilding my social media cred over others like a cudgel just isn’t a factor.

This may be a point where you reevaluate what is important to you. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you try to adhere to what every privacy advocate online tells you to do. I recommend trying to make good privacy choices. When you have energy for it. And encourage others to do the same.

Please don’t.

“Other people are assholes too” is a terrible reason to support an asshole. Expect better.

Thank you for posting this! I had a vague recollection there was something scummy about Brave, and I was surprised to see it recommended in so many of the “Which browser should I use?” posts. It’s really handy to have a chronical of bullshit like this to point to when it comes up

Thanks! Strangely this wasn’t showing up in searches within the app store for me, but it did turn up in settings.

This! Thank you! Apologies for getting the reason for the penalty wrong, but I have personally had to pay this and I was starting to feel gaslit. Turns out, when you go on unemployment, you should still withhold for taxes even if you feel like you need that money more while unemployed.

This is bad advice. The annual income you report on your taxes indicates how much you should have been setting aside throughout the year. Failing to do so can result in fines. There are exceptions for when your income increases part way through a year, but if you do what you describe, they WILL ding you for that.

Yeah, the whole concept of 4B only works if a vast majority of women are on the same page, and given the results from this election, they clearly are not.

When you open the site via the Gmail app, go to the … menu in the upper right. You should have an option to open the site in your default browser, which should keep your session active when you get the code.

Thanks for the explanation. I’m sorry you had a bad experience working with them. Unfortunately, bad management and petty people problems don’t go away just because it’s open source. :(

Could you elaborate on this? I’m still distro shopping and know basically nothing about Mint’s development history.

Is the city council under the impression that tourists will arrive, fail to find a tour guide, then just shrug and go home? I agree that tourist congestion has gotten worse in recent years (a friend of mine recently moved, citing this exact reason), but this is going to do exactly nothing to stop it.
