Check out Privacy.com for card generation. You can set monthly/yearly/all-limits, pause and cancel cards, create single-use cards, etc. And their virtual cards accept any billing i…

It is my opinion that these sorts of statements are devoid of value and don’t contribute to the conversation. Good for Reddit. My grandpap always said the same of unions. Great if …

This all comes down to one phrase I’ve grown to hate. “It must be measurable”. Maximizing revenue over the next 12 months is measurable. Creating an enduring product that will slow…

Go to college and get an education so you ~~can make a good living~~ have the opportunity to work more hours. I understand this should hopefully help low wage earners that are take…

I’ve never heard this story but it made me think of this old XKCD[0]. [0]: https://xkcd.com/1105/

Why do we (the US) insist on doing everything our own way? And usually worse. The sentiment behind loan forgiveness is great but it doesn’t address any of the core problems. This w…

Tangentially related but I saw some similar comments in the original thread [0] so hopefully this is alright. How does one move to Europe? Or how does one begin the process? I’m an…

These days I explicitly go out of my way to find and run native programs. Sure they usually require a purchase but (1) devs need to eat too (2) the software is usually higher quali…

Looks like this can be done with Shortcuts.app on iOS.

Ya I have hardware and already self-host some services.

It really takes effort to scrub oneself of big-tech. I don’t know how non-HN-types are supposed to do it. My weak point has been Apple Photos. It “just works” for me and I really a…
