Use a virtual credit card when signing up for subscription services. Set the recurring amount at just enough to cover the trial amount, and then once the subscription fee goes up it’ll notify you if you wish to continue paying for it. You can increase the limit if you want to keep the service, or just let the card decline until the service is cancelled. Most credit cards have virtual cards as an option, but I also use app.paywithextend.com

To add to that, use those nitrile gloves when you cook. It’s a game changer for food prep, especially when working with raw meat

I think it’s now overstated how “different” Linux is. I switched to Mint about a year ago and there is basically zero learning curve right out the box.

I feel this deep inside

My experience is that if you are unable to verify a Google gift card, even one given to my child as a birthday gift, you’re fucked

You just became an ad for mullvad…

Yes, OC

I made the jump about 2 months ago for the same reasons you’re considering. My job also being very similar in usage to yours. Literally 0 issues so far, couldn’t be more satisfied that I made the jump. I went with mint and there was basically zero learning curve for me coming from w10.

Do it.

Nice

My default sort is top 12 hours. Keeps the home page fresh, I never seem to run out of good content

Well, let’s do some quick math. Let’s count billable hours in a day with a minimum billable hour being 1 hour. If you work a 6 hour work day, and can complete the average task in 15 minutes, that works out to 24 possible billable hours in one day accounting for a total of 90 minutes of actual work.

So yeah, on paper it’s actually really easy to “work” 100 hours per week

It’s Connect. I’ve got 6 apps for lemmy currently installed, going back and forth as they continue to update versions, and Connect continues to be my favorite

So is the instance just meant to be an echo chamber? I didn’t say anything derogatory or insensitive. I just offered a dissenting opinion on something that came up in my feed on All. I didn’t seek this thread out and barge in, I just made a comment on something I saw. Here’s the most recent poll I found stating 7%, which isn’t really that far off from 5%.

I’m not being disingenuous, it’s a statistic I looked up not too long ago when I was digging into something else. I couldn’t care less what someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity is. I am just making an observation based on my knowledge that the marginalized group being referred to is appropriately, and probably overrepresented in public.

Maybe I’m in a bubble living in one of the most liberal places in the country, but I see representation on TV, while shopping, in print media, on lemmy (formerly reddit), etc.

The OP is making a claim that there needs to be more representation based on the opinion of a old timer that is clearly conservative. No amount of representation is going to change that person’s mind.

9% in 30 countries, that’s far from globally. And I would guess those countries lean liberal. I used population percentage in my original statement to refute underrepresentation. Even if I use your skewed number of 9%, I think that they are appropriately represented in media

It’s a feature, not a bug

Oryx & Crake - solid start to a Margaret Atwater series. Lots of world building and exposition. Looking forward to continuing the series. Currently reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King

That is the fakest shit I’ve ever read

And this is what will fundamentally kill reddit
