Oh no, not sure I want that.

The reason I'm not sure, is because I woke up at 5 am to do my morning run while making cold calls and preparing to open another business because my baby was born 2 hours before and taught me about B2B marketing in AI powered age.

100% would never want to make their day tougher than it already probably is.

This hermit politely declined, paid, thanked, and left. The anger I felt was towards the retail company and the clerk doesn't need to witness that.

Agreed. It used be worse here - at some point merchants wanted your social security number to create a unique customer identifier.

I will not describe how angry I felt hearing a shoe store clerk ask for my social security number (again, did not lash out at the clerk), but I was angry.

That thankfully did not last long (iirc).

That is just it. An app for everything, when it could just be a website you login to if you absolutely must have an account for something.

I'm glad I'm getting some peer support here and glad to hear similar stories.

I'm not quite that organized,

I've donated around 2 euros to huge projects like Wikipedia when they have a donation campaign, or 20 euros to projects like draw.io when I notice on github that they haven't met their monthly goal yet.

The amount and frequency completely depends on my financial situation at the time and I only donate when I am using a piece of software/project (so when I remember, basically) on my free time and decide to check updates/state of the project.

So I'm not a frequent donor to any specific projects and several months may pass without donating any money, but when I have a bit more disposable income and when I'm doing free-time computer related hobbies I take a sum (lets say 50e) and distribute that money depending on project size. Smaller projects get more (less likely to have a lot of donors) big projects less (hopefully they have a lot of people donating small amounts that add up).

I know that long time ago this was one of the things that freaked me out. I went into google account privacy settings and there is a lot of info about you. It really creeps you out when you see info from years ago.

Can vouch for this method, I did something similar and just updated my email on services in order of my entries in password manager.

Lots of drama, sometimes defederations would make headlines on world news.

AFAIK enabling cloudfare's anti-DDoS breaks federation quite a bit.

Kbin.social had to enable it during reddit migration to stop the server from crashing due to all the traffic and it made it pointless trying to interact with other instances and fediplatforms.
