Holy fuck I hate HOA's/condo boards

TheSun ,

Could dual boot your laptop or run windows in a VM as someone suggested. Onlyoffice was what finally solved the office compatibility problem for me during school. O365 is online anyways and works on Linux...

Replaced gboard with a FOSS keyboard without internet access on your phone? I use and like AnySoftKeyboard.

Are you on stock android or a privacy friendly ROM? That'd be #1 on my list. I use grapheneos on a pixel 8 and would recommend. Whether you have google apps on your phone or not they have access to everything you do on stock android 🤷‍♂️

Either way I think its important to recognize how much you've already done, and not stress about what you can't change yet. You're already more private than 99% of the general population and you aren't in school forever. I was in the same boat with a windows partition on my laptop for a couple windows only programs for school (online test invigilation can be a bitch for compatibility, windows in a VM generally doesn't work I found), but school ends and that partition is gone now.

TL;DR
You're doing good, don't stress if you have to keep some stuff around for school, give onlyoffice a shot, look into privacy friendly ROMs for your phone.

So fuckcars but only when its sunny?

Frozen North checking in, just passed 1 year car-free biking everywhere, rain, sun, or snow.
No such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

And people that are too used to being comfortable all the time.

TheSun ,

Its not unheard of to have underground walking tunnels in cold cities connecting buildings and areas, but I haven't heard of any expanded to support biking.

University of Calgary has a bunch of them if I remember right, can get all over the place underground when its cold AF out.

TheSun ,

You can also download ready-made decks for different categories in many languages. Useful for expanding your vocabulary I find.

TheSun ,

KOHO has a single virtual card that can be reset... but it would reset everything being billed to that card ofc so not quite 1-1 with privacy.com's per-service virtual cards.

That being said, my koho card was also compromised and their chat wouldn't let me dispute the transaction or talk to a human for another 3 days after the fact so I just closed it down.

What email provider do you use for sign ups?

I used to use Protonmail, however the verification steps become tedious when creating unique emails for sign ups. I've switched to Tutanota despite it contravening their one account policy. What do you all use for one off emails (for sign ups etc )? Or do you prefer one of those 10 minute email sites?

TheSun ,

+1 for simplelogin.

Cancelled proton unlimited since the majority of their platform is lacking features on Linux and switched to just a simplelogin subscription to pocket the savings.

TheSun ,

Ya same here with librewolf, ublock origin, and a VPN. Decent number of sites block and want me to turn off ad block and/or VPN.

I have a simple policy now: they stay on.

I'll just go somewhere else that doesn't want to track people that badly
