Unless something changed recently, Google Play has always accepted my privacy cards. I have one saved now a my family payment method on my Nvidia Shield account.

Don’t use Apple products, so can’t speak to that.

You can’t avoid all of the surveillance, but this helps a lot.

Been using privacy.com for years. You can enter any ZIP code, any name and the seller won’t know anything about you unless you’re shipping to your home, I guess. Some markets will see the cards as gift cards and won’t accept them, but that is rare.

I use it wherever I can, especially for services that always used to end up with a stolen CC#. The cards can be single use or locked to a single merchant. I used a single use card on PSN three years ago and still get fraudulent charge attempts to this day, but the card stopped working after one use, as designed.

All good. I’m not shitting on anyone’s choice, especially when it comes to playing Zelda which you can’t do anywhere else (except PC emulation). But I’ll always pipe up with a reminder when I see detailed breakdowns of how to get raped the coolest new console by Nintendo.

I do think its worth putting out there that my CPU/GPU manufacturer never sued anybody for how they used the product they paid for. They also can’t take my games away, or brick my hardware. But, yeah, the Switch is cool, if it was $250 and not owned by the most litigious game-related company out there.

Right. Nintendo is the best ecosystem. I’ve been PC since my 486. Never regretted it or wished I had a console. But if you’re cool with Nintendo shenanigans, enjoy. I hope they don’t brick your console for you.

Buying anything from that horrible company that sues their own customers and fans is a big NO from me.

The “and noodles” belong to the potato.

Usually seven days, but the vet may want you to use up all of the medication rather than going by the calendar.

+1 for simple. Something you don’t need to host.

I’ve still not found a single financial service other than Privacy.com that supports passkeys. Maybe they prefer to use technologies that gather data they can sell…

I use PIA because my ISP uses CGNAT and lots of services think that means I’m behind a VPN. Surprisingly, the VPN gets me around the VPN restriction sometimes. Go figure…

tl;dr people were posting CSAM behind VPNs, and they had to either deal with CSAM and ensuing legal issues, or block VPN traffic.

At least he cites women, right?

I believe John Oliver covered this exact phenomenon in this video: https://youtu.be/TATSAHJKRd8

tl;dw Doctors assume women exaggerate pain compared to men (the opposite is true), in addition to ethnic (we’re all the same race, so I don’t use that term anymore) biases also discussed in the video.

… a lot of times, women’s […] pain [is] attributed to emotional imbalance or women being hysterical…

Hmm… Never tried, but I assume you record yourself and then start applying filters/effects from the dropdown.

Was going to write these exact words.

I don’t know what that is, but you might want to switch to Tenacity. It’s a fork of audacity without the data collection. Its diverged some, but does everything you need it to.

I just meant it was big. I’m glad I moved out the next month.

I thought I read it before posting. Sigh… I’m such a bot
