The only things they’re counting are dinner, drinks, transportation and grooming? At that price, I thought it would include event tickets, museum entry, the cost of a hotel room, or something like that. Two can eat well for much less than that.

Love Swappa. I’ve gotten used phones & memory there for good prices, no problems.

More identity verification. 🙄 For everything people use to protect their privacy.

That seems typical of this community, IMO. It constantly confuses me.

Just an fyi, dnscrypt-proxy allows you to run a local DoH server you can use with Firefox, so you don’t have to trust some public server.

Yeah, both of those things happen to me on a regular basis. If I’m using my phone, it might only last a few hours into the day.

And after Ida. No power for a month in some places. People were selling cooked food on the streets for cash. I’m sure if you were enterprising, you could buy/sell groceries the same way.

So true. My non-technical friend asked about more private ways to communicate after things started to go bad where we live, and she had no problems understanding SimpleX. The actual user experience is a lot like FB Messenger, IMO.

I agree. This is what I do, too.

You created this in the Privacy community on Lemmy.ml. Were you trying to find a place to make an introductory post?

Same here.

When I use a Samsung, I use a firewall to block connections to samsung.com.

I use KeepassXC with rclone, and that works well too.

Same. When I stopped using it, little changed, except I had a lot more free time and peace.

Dnscrypt-proxy also allows you to easily use DNS servers that offer filtering. It also allows you to block sites by url or ip on the system level. You can use any Adguard style lists, or make your own.

It’s definitely creepy and invasive. I try to cover my face and look away, too. The worst is when your neighbor has cameras pointing into your back yard, so you can’t do anything private in your own space.

Most of what you listed is a problem. One more company having data on you is one more problem.

I see jobs with interview requirements like this occasionally. I don’t bother with them. I doubt I even would have spent the time writing an email, except to convey briefly that the web page didn’t work.

Exactly.

They ask for way too much personal info, IMO.
