Bitwarden is one of the very few "SaaS" things I pay for. At $10/yr the benefits I get are amazing.

I get encrypted cloud sync across my Linux desktop, browser extensions for firefox and chrome, laptop, andriod tablet and iphone.

And, the big thing that initially made me switch to BW, I can setup "emergency access" so that if I get run over by a train, my family can "request access" to my vault, and, if I don't cancel the request within 3 days, they get full access. EVERYTHING is in my BW account. Credit cards, passwords, full disk encryption keys.

As a longtime Amex card holder. I ONLY use my Amex because of the fraud protection. In the last 5 years, both Kohls and Amazon tried to fuck me over.

Kohls just sent the entire wrong item, then, refused to accept it as a return because "it wasn't on the receipt". Okay then.... Contacted Amex, got my money back and got to keep the random shit Kohls didn't want.

I ordered a $300 keyboard (I know... it was a celebration buy) well... What amazon sent me was an empty keyboard box. I did the normal amazon return process. When I sent the "item" back, Amazon refused to refund me because "I didn't send the item back".... NO FUCKING SHIT! Anyway. Contacted Amex again. Got my money back.

I trust Amex. A lot. I can't say the same for Visa.

yada yada yada all of this is to say: If you don't take Amex, you don't get my money.

I've stopped going to Costco for the same reason. I dropped Progressive Insurance for the same reason.

What would Google's play store sell?
Aren't you already paying for the phone?

I've found Kagi[1] search results to be substantially better for the type of queries I do. So much better in fact, that I actually pay for it.

I choose to believe that, supposedly, they're honestly not keeping search-history logs[2]

If you're using a cell phone any expectation of anonymity or privacy goes out the window.

First, you're incorrect on a physical sim swap hiding you. Your phone has an IMEI number that is reported to the whatever tower your phone connects to. This is a unique ID, kind of like a MAC address.

Carriers track your location, and then turn around and sell it:

iOS and Android constantly track and log your location and all actions taken on the phone "telemetry".

Any of the popular apps are collecting everything they can then either selling it to 3rd parties or using it to target ads.

I feel like now is a good time to mention, the following archive sites that will get you around most paywalls:

A Fun work around to this problem

Create a contact with the name, Fuck, and another contact with the name, fucker, and the other another with the name, Fucking and then auto correct will Work correctly.

As the Alpine image is officially maintained and developed by Docker themselves. I would wager, never. https://hub.docker.com/_/alpin...

The very simple anser to your question is, yes, no, maybe.

Check back in 5 years and we'll be able to tell you if it was slowing during FY 2022

Umm. The Fedora 36 full kernel is 11MB with a 36MB initramfs. That includes many unneeded modules, and systemd. Linux can fit in way less than 64MB.

The RaspberryPI version of Alpine Linux is 10MB which includes both kernel and busybox

Thereâ(TM)s a great documentary from 1984 on this subject. I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

The patent comment was complaining about not being able to find things. Not privacy.

I have two recommendations.

First check out https://millionshort.com/, it is a search that excludes the "top" sites. I've found this incredibly helpful in find the "obscure corners".

Also, I've been a beta user of Kagi, a currently-beta but planned to be paid search service. I've been so happy with it in beta that if their pricing isn't insane, I will be paying for it when it leaves beta: https://kagi.com/

No.... wind and solar don't *really* "work just fine". Not in the sense you need stable, 24/7 base load power generation if you want truly reliable electric power for your city or state.

Yes, it's very unfortunate that there is just no way that solar can work at night and no one has ever built a solar facility that can provide energy at night... Oh wait, it can and they have: https://futurism.com/molten-salt-make-24-hour-solar-energy-possible/
