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

He’s a Master Debater

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

I disagree

It is definitely one of the videos

You just became an ad for mullvad…

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

I don’t disagree that they should make some money for their efforts, but isn’t every client for lemmy made by a single developer?

I’m android and went through about 1 month of switching between clients to find the one I liked the most. Connect was the winner for me. Multiple accounts, hide read, good default UI amongst a handful of other things

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

Hey look everyone, this guy is cool

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

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

Well. There’s gotta be a first time on a new platform. Congratulations

If all cars became autonomous there would no longer be traffic, it’d be similar to train cars in that they are linked together with no disruption in progress due to other cars/drivers.

If it’s just another server that I can choose to follow or not, whatever, doesn’t bother me. Anything that will make the fediverse better, faster is ok imo.

That being said, I do not, nor will ever trust Facebook
