why not boycott all major corporations every day? it does require a bit of work, but the more money you spend locally, the better your local communities will be

yeah sure, just be sure to note that WiFi is creepy beyond imagination (and is proposed to keep getting worse)

so you might have been grifted, but your actions affect other people. your car is a spy mobile that sucks up innocent bystanders' data without their consent. and yeah, maybe do research before supporting a company, like how Cocacola did business with Hitler - but even that ignorant at best $2 purchase doesn't negatively affect everyone else to the extent your car does

isn't the point of the fediverse to not consolidate?

so cool!

totally, thanks for tip on Sony. I find the older stuff to be built better so I don't mind repairing them

really into freestyle polka on my portable cassette player these days. you?

ahh yeah. I do spend most of my time off line and that's one reason I don't want to use streaming services

very interesting, thanks for sharing

yeah that's a good advice. curious, where would the "lie" be?

average citizens need hardened phones and basic security tips like restarting phones before letting anyone use them or how to factory reset a device

no good. beyond using a VPN and dnssec, how can end users protect themselves from this?

how's this holding up today?

so a more accurate way of phrasing this would be, "taxes and fees are 400% more than the flight"

DST leads to higher heart attacks and more casualties, especially for locations that are closer to the changing arbitrary lines

hey, so the US government printed trillions of dollars in the last few years, on top of them printing a few trillion the decade before, on top of them printing a few trillion every year since they're in debt. and that's just what's public information on their websites

you're assuming businesses would be honest and fair about their changing prices. maybe some local stores will round down from 1.01 to 1.00 but I assume most major corporations will just round up to 1.05

no. physical currencies have a more complex formula on a good "cost vs use" ratio. it's usually many years of use to justify spending any amount of resources on a physical currency, otherwise the currency would collapse under its own weight of having to create itself

sorry, was assuming this was broader than just federal. thanks for clarifying
