Yeah it could be argued that Fastmail is less private than alternatives, but they make a damn good service. Plus email shouldn’t be used for secure communication anyways.

The only way I knew my coworker was a lesbian was because she told me about her wife. Literally just be a normal human, and no one will think either way.

There is no Eragon movie ಥ_ಥ

Which is only possible because of this magic technology to let you see and talk in near real time to anyone, anywhere. Used to be that if your sibling / parent / other family member wasn’t in town, you couldn’t see them in real time at any time, usually just a single / couple times a year at holidays.

Sure calling was a thing, but it’s just different when you can see someone.

Spoiler:

Definitely a good reminder!

Pretty much the same as before the election. Life moves on.

Good point, I forgot about that news

I mean they’re just resellers of the big guys’ network. I think Mint is a reseller of T-Mobile. Verizon has its own branded reseller labels. It all goes through the big guys’ network anyways so could they even claim that?

Haha I’m not stupid I know the IRS doesn’t accept gift cards.

The Microsoft tech support guys have been very helpful with my Linux laptop though, and I feel that I can trust them.

I appreciate this rule 🙌

I mean I’ve definitely seen signs at checkout lines at grocery stores. I’ve also been asked when buying large amounts of gift cards what my reason for buying them was (in a very kind way, I would add).

Funny, I actually started out with them disabled but I re-enabled them in the past year since I’m terrible at mistyping.

I wish there were a way for only the app to know which sites you’ve visited previously so it could do a better job of helping my typos without exposing that data to websites you visit.

Edit: oh I also wish you could have the address bar on the bottom :/

I forgot to mention a fringe benefit of Firefox Focus: I feel like it forces me to do a better job of not just opening a webpage and telling myself I’ll read it later (I never do). Since the session is ephemeral and the webpage will be gone if I don’t read it right away, I actually get down to reading the articles more often.

This may also be a side effect of Lemmy, though, since there’s less content here than on reddit.

I like Firefox Focus.

Every time you close the app (swipe up on the app switcher) or use the trash button it cleans every bit of cached or stored data including cookies, so every time you open it you have a fresh browsing session and it’s harder to be followed around the web.

Obviously inconvenient for banking or the like, so I also have Firefox (regular) installed which stores my login sessions.

I really hate the use of quotes “for emphasis”

Interesting, I did not know how widely used the 2.4GHz band is, thanks for correcting me!

That’s the same frequency as one of the main Wi-Fi bands, I would imagine they’re probably just reusing that technology for this communication

Yep, I live in the south and we will regularly (several times a year) drive 300 miles or more to visit the various families.
