  • I don't have apple pay, but I do use Google pay whenever I can.

  • I have a credit card too, but I don't use it as much. It's from a credit union, not my bank. I don't remember it ever getting stolen.

  • Yeah they're all from the same bank.

  • We have a private wifi network in our house. It's password protected.

  • Our last card was stolen by someone in great Britain. We're in the USA. I don't think they're being stolen by someone locally unless our information is being sold on the dark web.

  • It happens within months, not days. I don't use honey and I don't pirate. I use both chrome and Firefox, but maybe I should stick to Firefox.

  • Running a virus scan wouldn't be enough? I'd rather not factory reset everything.

  • I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

    Jump

  • Yeah that would explain it

  • Almost all of my posts here get upvoted. On reddit they mostly got ignored.

  • Seeing all this bad and negative things going on the internet let's change the pace, what is something that's good and you're excited for?

  • The company I work for changed their policy on paid vacations. Starting in August I'm going to have a lot of vacation days and I'm going to use them.

  • If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now

    Jump

  • I use duck duck go for incognito stuff. I know google can still see what I search in incognito mode.

    So googling normal stuff is fine?

  • I'll admit I'm susceptible to having the internet change my opinion on something. I'll just have to make sure I'm careful where I get my news.

  • I don't understand what's wrong with tracking me for advertising. If I have to see ads they might as well be something I might be interested in. Google can give more relevant search results. Things cost less. What are the downsides to selling my information to advertisers?

    I understand how tik tok can be used for cyber warfare so I don't use that. I don't know what china can do with millions of people's personal information. Chrome doesn't collect nearly as much data as tik tok.

  • What is your favorite android app to browse Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Liftoff for now until boost is released.

  • How many communities are you blocking?

    Jump

  • I blocked all nsfw content. I haven't blocked any specific communities. It was just a check box when I joined lemmy.

  • How fluent do you think one have to be to be considered "bilingual"?

    Jump

  • Different people have different standard of what it means to be fluent in a language. I would say that if you can comfortably have a casual conversation you're fluent. If you're fluent in 2 languages I would call that bilingual. You don't have to be as good as a native speaker in both languages.

    English is your second language and you typed a pretty long post in perfect grammar so I would say you're bilingual.

  • What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

    Jump

  • When I was about 12 I had a computer nerd friend who used linux almost exclusively. I used various linux distros at his house. I don't know what they were.

    He gave me a knopix CD so I could use linux too and that was the easiest way.

    I thought I'd try linux myself so I burned Ubuntu to a cd and tried to install it on a family computer as a dual boot. I did it wrong and deleted everything. My dad is a computer network specialist so he understood what happened and wasn't mad. He made a backup of the family computer a while ago and restored it. We still lost some things, but not everything.

    My friend got me a desktop computer for free and put SUSE on it. My parents wouldn't allow me to have internet in my bedroom so I just played games and made stuff on blender with it.

    My friend also got me a free laptop at this computer nerd conference we went to. We listened to a bunch of people talk about computer stuff. They also had free stuff we could grab. I got myself a laptop. It didn't have an operating system so my friend installed Ubuntu on it for me.

    Eventually that laptop and my desktop stopped working and I never used linux again. After reading about linux here I started to miss my Ubuntu laptop and I'd like to try it again, but I don't want ruin my current laptop like I did with the family computer.

  • What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

  • I got a really girly looking beanie (I'm a guy) at a white elephant gift exchange and it became my favorite beanie. It got stolen and I'm sad that I can't find it again.
