Not easy for mobile devices? Firefox-based browsers on mobile can have Ublock Origin :/

Where I am, the median salary is around $400-$500. I know how you feel.

Well-to-do? That is weird, because here not having a washing machine in the apartment would be weird even for a poor person.

I don't see a "justification" in my reply. I cannot change or influence the system, I need the discounts - so I do that.

No I have not, heard it is offensive and unfunny.

Especially given that some of the common budget devices, like Huawei, lacks Google services. It is the reason why all the major banks here except one don't require Google services.

The more insane thing here for me is the fact that there isn't a washing machine inside your apartment.

(btw lived in such once, apparently the owner wasn't very wealthy. We washed everything by hand)

I have seen a bit of that, but every time it turned out to have an option without. For example, one chain wanted you to use an app for making orders - but when you say "I am sorry, I have a dumbphone", it turns out there is a tablet for this on the reception.

I use a loyalty card pretty often. It's just that it is almost always another customer's card) And in case this is not available - a barcode of some rando's loyalty card I found online, the valid ones are often easy to find.

At least you can not only ask other customers for their cards, but also sometimes be offered theirs without even asking.

Wouldn't a quadruped be easier? You can stick arms onto a robotic "dog".

No one's removing my access to LUKS))

Most of my library is scans of paper books. I wish more of my reading was in native epub and not automatically recognized with tons of mistakes, but eh, whatever.

I am IP-blocked by a lot of things. At some point a large percentage of population just gets used to the fact that VPNs/proxies are now just a mandatory part of the internet usage.

Fennec right now, switched before Ironfox was out and now switching would be painful as there is no export, so all manual...

I just use a Firefox derivative there as well, because of Ublock. Tried Vanadium but the adblocking was just not good.

The overwhelming majority of my library is actually not digital-native - rather, pdf or djvu scans. I should really contribute to Libgen by scanning some of my library.

Or DRMless digital. But yeah, they need to coexist with paper ones.

I got Conduit working relatively easily. However, it had constant issues with encryption in groups. I never even considered Synapse because it's too heavy for my minimal, cheap VPS.

Self-hosted XMPP is much easier tho, and it "just works".

Bur what about servers that are not based in the UK? They are not officiallly doing business there, they just happen to be accessible from there. And with Fediverse, you can specifically choose a server that suits your jurisdiction needs.
