						You can never check off the do absolutely nothing check box because if you do, it counts as doing something.

						Have you heard of Rejection Therapy?

						@darksideofyay I found it
 
 https://reuters.com/world/americas/...
 
 There is just way too many governments trying to do shit and way too many things Google is trying to do, it’s hard to tell what refers to what.
- 
					
					
						@darksideofyay not with little to no context. Not everyone lives in the same country so it won’t be on the index page either.
- 
					
					
						Would be nice if these rants also linked a fucking source!
- 
					
					
						I thought it was AOK. Not disappointed either way.
- 
					
					
						@retoor Turtles are fucking animals.

						@tosensei living up to that username, sensei!

						@soberGhost can’t speak for Google. But for apple, it’s not auto-tracked. You get an option to record your sexual activity data manually.

						@We3D I’m not worried. They’ll eventually they’ll come back as well!
- 
					
					
						@hjk101 I used to do that as well. I have now moved on to Apple’s hide my email for this stuff. I just deactivate the emails after giving it to services like these and re enable when needed.

						You also create infinite amount of unique emails by using a “+”

						@retoor That’s good to know. But why does that make debit cards a better choice?
 
 For what it’s worth, I think even in Canada, lots of people actually use debit cards. For the most part they use it to avoid overusing credit cards.

						@kiki Oh I did not know they were not a universal concept. Good to know.
 
 I have lived in India, Canada and of course is common in the states as well. Don’t know about Europe.
- 
					
					
						@kiki wait it’s not how all credit cards work? No interest for a month?
- 
					
					
						@kiki that’s cool. No question about cash being a better choice for privacy. I find myself trying to move to cash as well day by day.
 
 However, if we’re comparing debit vs credit cards, credit cards are safer choice. I would not say better, because that’s subjective.
- 
					
					
						@kiki credit cards are generally safer choice. Your card gets skimmed, stolen or lost, you report it and get a new card. Everything is covered by insurance and your money is not at stake while being disputed.
 
 Also there’s usually good rewards or cash backs.

						@jeeper thank you! I did not know about the origins of the body/blood of Christ thing.
- 
					
					
						@NoToJavaScript still cheaper. I pay ~C$100 for 300mbps up and down :(
- 
					
					
						And they charge me 5% for the crime of using credit card. I do blame the government for that one.
- 
					
					
						@NoToJavaScript I gotta move to Quebec. It’s 165cad here and that’s discounted price for a 2year lock in.

						@randomdude why the fuck not?
- 
					
					
						@jonas-w alternatively they provide a list of sites where I can get free stuff? Nice!
- 
					
					
						@Wisecrack It is. Drink less, run more.
- 
					
					
						@FuckJava because they’re called goddesses when they’re female.
- 
					
					
						Good for you! Great work!
