👍🏼 Great tip, thanks!

Oh wow! Thanks!

That’s awesome, SomeAmateur! I used to love sending postcards when I was younger, can’t believe I never heard of it. Thank ypu!

In case somebody’s curious, here’s a link to the Postcrossing website.

Hello. Is that regular flour empanada wrappers dusted with cornmeal or did you make corn wrappers?

(I am lazy and buy the Goya wrappers) 😁 Looking at that is making me hungry!

I mean no disrespect and have read the propaganda article. The Atlantic is an American publication based in Washington, DC.

The Word of the Day is: Scapegoat

No.7 👍🏼

In case you’re feeling patriotic, they’re based in the UK. It won’t break the bank. I don’t know your skincare preference but I prefer the No7 Future Renew™ Damage Reversal Night Cream and the No7 Derm Solutions Daily Lightweight Moisturizer during the day. Most of the gentlemen I know prefer the lightweight moisturizer.

Maybe you can get a sample and try it out first to see how you like it.

Aveda is also very good and a little pricier. If it matters to you, they are owned by Estée Lauder (along with Clinique, MAC, Origins, etc.). Good Luck!

I’ve been seriously thinking about going back to Nokia. De-googled a few years ago, stopped using iCloud and switched to cross-platform and open-source software.

Currently, the Murena Fairphone 4 is the only one you can use in the US (Fairphone doesn’t directly deal with US customers) and incompatible with Verizon and AT&T. They recommend T-Mobile for US coverage.

Also heard about Cape here on a Lemmy post But Fairphone is “not eligible yet”.

This is the old Nokia 3650 that’s in my drawer. I loved it! Then AT&T made me upgrade because they were no longer supporting the old networks.

Thank you, Zerush! It’s nice to know that someone else thinks the same way.

Sorry folks, not a big fan of Dinuguan. Everyone I know loves it. Not a fan of Sisig (sorry @Dis32) and bitter melon.

I do love Kuhol with and without the gátâ (coconut milk). My grandmother used to make it and that’s how I fell in love with those ugly snails. Yum. Frogs legs are delicious!

D@mn! Now, I’m hungry and I miss my grandma.

Oh my g…… you just took me back to my childhood! I miss balut! My kids loved it until they grew up and figured out what it was. 🐣

Oh… I’m so sorry. That should be illegal.

Stop using any sites that require ID.

Ditto. Also:

• Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
• Go to the mall =O
• Go to the library
• Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
• Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
• Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
• Buy stamps! (and stationery, no more ecards or evites)
• Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
• Use iPhone to make phone calls
• Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
• Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
• Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part

…just to name a few.

Ahhhhh… the good ol’ days! Best years of my life! Welcome to adulthood and….

YOUR body, YOUR choice!

If you think that you’ll regret it later on, you can always make a deposit to a sperm bank. These days, I highly doubt it’s covered by insurance. Also, you need to do some research (and a lot of phone calls/emails); some places are so damn strict that you need an appointment just to get info.

A friend did that before, he has no regrets. Good luck, young lemming!

EDIT: Just wanted to let you know that I’m a hypocrite. If you were my son, I’d talk you out of it.

Don’t forget to buy a bag of frozen peas!

LOL. Yes, suable is a word.

There’s Disroot and CryptPad which is E2EE and open source. Also, ditto on Anytype.

The financial part of this scam begins when users try to cash out any “winnings.” At that point, the gaming site will reject the request and prompt the user to make a “verification deposit” of cryptocurrency — typically around $100 — before any money can be distributed. Those who deposit cryptocurrency funds are soon asked for additional payments.

In many ways, these scambling sites borrow from the playbook of “pig butchering” schemes, a rampant and far more elaborate crime in which people are gradually lured by flirtatious strangers online into investing in fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platforms.

Unfortunately it still works.

Happy cake day! 🍰

In February, Carr opened a separate probe into Comcast’s promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion programs and he required T-Mobile (TMUS.O), and Verizon (VZ.N), to drop diversity programs before approving transactions.

In January, Carr reinstated complaints about a “60 Minutes” Harris interview, how ABC News moderated the pre-election televised debate between then-President Joe Biden and Trump and NBC for allowing Harris to appear on “Saturday Night Live” shortly before the election.

For the latest news, tune in to Nickelodeon with anchor Spongebob Squarepants and meteorologist Patrick Star.

Congratulations!

I de-googled a few years ago but rushed through the process and went to the whole Proton ecosystem. Your plan sounds great. This is my setup:

• BROWSER/SEARCH: I have both Firefox browsers, Startpage, Brave and DuckDuckGo (which is my default browser and use their Email Protection ).

• You can customize your browsers and add more search engines like Mojeek, Ecosia, Disroot , etc.

• YouTube ALTERNATIVE: Peertube is a good alternative to YT. They also have an app for iPhone.

• DuckDuckGo has Duck Player that will open in a new window without the ads! So, yes. If you prefer to stay with YouTube, use DuckDuckGo browser and enable the Duck Player in Settings.

• STORAGE: I use Ente Photo Storage for iOS. Currently, their Forever Free account is 10 GB (which you already use).

• Filen is also an option (downloaded it 2 weeks ago but haven’t used it yet); their free account is 10 GB and boasts Zero knowledge technology.

• I also use Proton Drive. It was glitchy at first but they’ve fixed and improved it. That’s another reason why I recommend using more than one of anything (backup your backup). Try their products first so you can decide if you want to subscribe to the whole ecosystem or just part of it.

• You can connect external storage devices to iPhone, depending on the model.

• Consider an EHD (if you haven’t already) in addition to cloud services. They’re great for storing photos, videos and music.

• Box and Dropbox are what I use for non-confidential files (recipes, ebooks, mp3s, blank forms, no PII, photos of not-people).

• iDrive is another backup service that has an iOS app.

• iCloud! Perfect if you’re just starting out with Apple or have one device. Pay attention to your storage! Make sure you have enough room for iOS updates.

• MAIL: I’ve heard many positive feedback from my friends about Posteo and Mailbox.org. Tuta, Proton and Mailfence are also good alternatives.

• Disroot emails are stored unencrypted in their servers so you’ll have to do that yourself .

PRIVACY (not sure what you mean but consider these:

• VPN! Mullvad, Proton (or both) Why? You need a back up VPN just in case there’s a glitch or a website is blocking certain VPN servers.
• Ghostery if you plan on using Safari. Safari has Profiles so you can create one for school, work, etc.
• AdGuard app is another option for use with Safari.
• Bitwarden or Proton Pass if you plan to use a password manager (which is highly recommended). Passwords is another Apple stock app which works well with Safari.
• Ente has 2FA but I’ve never used it before
• TURN OFF LOCATION unless you’re using Maps to go somewhere. You can turn it on/off as needed and add a location to your photos later. Unnecessarily running location services can drain your battery faster.
• As long as you don’t use google anymore and download their apps, you’ll be fine. Don’t forget to delete your accounts.
• At your earliest convenience, please read Apple Support’s iCloud data security overview regarding E2EE. Disregard if you’re in the UK.

OTHER:

• Before downloading an app, scroll down to the App Privacy and see what information they hoard from your phone. You can decide for yourself if it’s worth it.

• I love the stock apps (biased opinion), they’re easy to use and work well together.

• Most of the products I’ve recommended above are cross-platform in case you want to go back to android or if you’re in a cross-platform household.

• If you have a choice, use an app instead of a browser because it’s a better experience, sometimes it’s faster and some apps are available for use offline.

• @Corduroy_Pillows_Making_Headlines started a de-google group, the original post has a link to a PDF file with a schedule and recommendation on how to migrate your data. You might find it useful to your transition. Good luck!
