My free Dropbox had 100gb for years, but then they decided that was too much and nerfed it to 10gb. At least I could still access my files.

a dumb phone and some other machine "to fill the void"
So a dumb phone and a stationary computer or laptop for internet access...exactly what most millennials grew up with.
Easiest way is to just point qbit at the "tun0" interface from the network tab in the menu of qbit...point-click-done
I got "everyone else's life has ups and downs, mine is just up, up, UP!" from the graphs 🤷♂️
Not with my real name, age, gender, address, phone number or even email.
I personally find calls to be much more annoying and disruptive than a text I can just ignore.
What do you think about national emergencies triggering automated calls to landlines?
Well that is something that could require immediate action for your safety, so it could make sense. We have a nation-wide civil defense siren system where I live for that kind of stuff, which I believe is a much better solution than cold-calling people who may or may not even be within range of their land line.
Utilities and such institutions that have your membership (library, gym, health care etc) should be welcome to use robocalling to notify you of useful info like emergencies or changes to their schedules
Those scenarios would be better handled through email or text message. Nothing that should be handled by a robocall is urgent enough to warrant disturbing people with a phone call, it should just be text or email.
An actual emergency call, requiring your immediate attention, should absolutely not be handled by robocalls. If it doesn't require immediate attention, then a call is not necessary.
B) They collect significantly more data from the first party app than they were able to from the third party apps, and they’re selling that data for a significant sum of money beyond just their own ad ecosystem.
My money is on this being the reason...the official reddit app is ridiculously invasive.
How do you think people and libraries obtain their material? They dont get it for free, they buy it. So that still puts money in the hands of companies you're trying not to give money. Every time you borrow something from the library, they pay a little to the copyright owner of that material. So you're still supporting anti-consumer companies with your wallet by doing it like that. Like I said, voting with your wallet only works when there are alternatives, and we pretty much have none left.
You're cutting one...but now they're all doing the shit that made you quit Netflix, and you have no (legal) way of getting access to pop culture without endorsing the shitty behaviour that doesn't listen to consumer desires. That is why "voting with your wallet" doesn't work, because there is no alternative to vote for with your wallet. So unless you keep endorsing the shitty corporate behaviour, you're pulling the plug on basically everything, and that is definitely a disconnection from many social interactions since you'll have no clue what they're talking about.
I have 1kg of silica beads I reuse all the time.
there are dozens of us...DOZENS!
