I really doubt that.

Czechia. In many supermarkets “discounts” only apply when you have a card/app. Essentially the “discount” is normal price, otherwise you’ll pay nearly double.

I’m using fake names on all those things, but prices without loyalty are often insane. It’s basically an extra tourist tax.

I rarely use cash. Nearly everything I spend is on supermarket and they know exactly what I buy because we’re forced to use their “loyalty” programs anyway.

Then traveling: dealing with other currencies, coming home with unspendable money. And there’s no interest on cash lying around.

But I hate the tendency for places to not accept cash at all, there should still be a choice.

One bonus is that I keep finding money on the streets in countries that love cash.

I haven’t used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.

Depends where you go. My Czech bank card is a debit card with a number on it that you can use like a credit card. Dutch banks don’t have this and we use different online payment methods. I never really needed a credit card for anything (until I traveled in France) so the price to have one is not worth it.

You’re not supporting development, you’re supporting a rich guy getting richer:

Interesting to note that the Mozilla CEO earned nearly as much ($5.6 M) as Mozilla received in donations ($7 M).

It shouldn’t be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.

The Dutch timezone was actually UTC + 20 minutes until WW2.

No, you have to link Google if you want to pay with your phone. But you can also just get their physical card instead.

That’s unnecessarily clickbaity, the article doesn’t mention it’s specifically nudes that came back, just old photos.

Everyone just copied everything from each other. Floppy, then Twilight CDs. Then came the internet and exploring music there was better than sitting around waiting for a song to come on the radio to quickly press record. It was normal when I was young to share, not really an active choice.

Giving it a try since I haven’t heard of this.

It seems to have cool options, but for navigation it’s just completely unusable.

Only a few years ago, I found fireflies living near me. I never knew they existed in Europe.

Government decided to level their habitat though. They’re building a wildlife rescue center, ironically.

Depends on the country. I once got some people in trouble when I passed through Germany because I didn’t know internet is heavily censored/surveilled there. Haven’t had trouble anywhere else though. Do some research on your country.

The biggest threats come from the movie industry. Just use streaming sites for movies and series, torrent the other stuff.

Look into Tribler, I2P and Utopia.

The just important thing a teacher explained to us: our university’s core business is handing out diplomas. That’s where they get their financing. Everything else is just a cost. That’s probably why the level was as so low and I could redo all my failed tests until I passed. Most of my school time I spent looking out of the widow, bored.

It’s so different from other countries where they actually teach. But somehow our diplomas as worth the same.

On streaming sites (Fmoviesz), some mirrors have a download button. You can also use the Video Downloadhelper plugin for Firefox.

Rimboe is jungle but in this context it could mean they’re far away from civilization (in the middle of nowhere)

According to statistics on my server, it’s 57% Chrome, 14% Safari and 12% Firefox. Also 10% use Linux. I’m not hosting anything tech related though.

Anyways, adblocking is kind of essential. Even the boomers ask what’s wrong when ads start showing. The only people I’ve seen browsing without adblock are Apple users.

So I’m guessing work use of a desktop is excluded?

Also, the article talks about “time spent online” and the map says “screen time”, those are different things.
