Well that may work for you. My goal was slightly different. I needed official apps for work. My goal was to have a work phone that was completely disconnected from my private life. Graphene and sideloaded app would not have worked for me.

I tried this. I bought a phone with cash, bought a prepaid SIM with cash and a google play card with cash.

Used a throwaway email address, and I could not get the play credit into the account.

I even opened a support ticket with google and they could not help.

I am an IT professional and quite adept at navigating technical bureaucracy and wasn't able to do it completely anonymously.

My guess (and it's just a guess, i could be very wrong) is there is some internal, undocumented check that the account has been tied to a real person before it allows credit onto the play store.

If someone has had success doing this I'd be quite interested in hearing about their experience.

Well, that's fine, I'm betting he'd have a bad day as well if he tried.

uBlock is a content filter. Cookies are set when a server responds to a web (http/https) request. So if uBlock has a domain blocked, not only are any cookies blocked, but no requests make it to that domain (whatever.com) at all.

If a domain is not blocked by uBlock Origin's filters, then cookies are set per your browser's configuration. Firefox I believe blocks some 3rd party tracking cookies by default, but can be configured to block all third-party cookies as well, but this may break site functionality like single sign-on.

just under 50% of people voted in Ohio in the 2020 election.

Trump won by 8%.

If just 9% of the people who felt like you (what's the point of voting) had showed up to vote for Biden, that would have flipped the state.

No single raindrop believes it can make any difference. But together, all those insignificant raindrops can change the course of a river in a single day.

Part of being an academic is being available to discuss your publications. Your full name will not only be flying around the internet but recorded permanently in libraries and journals.

Science is about collaboration, and standing behind the work you do, publicly. You will find it extremely difficult or impossible to get your PhD without being known to the academic community.

I think you won't find many anonymous scientific papers held in high regard.

In the US, discussing salary with coworkers is protected speech. It helps people find out if they are being underpaid or unfairly discriminated against. I always share my salary information when asked and I think it's important to do so.

My salary is not indicative of my net worth. I could have a 7 figure salary and be drowning in debt, or make 75K and be doing fairly well because of responsible choices.

I dislike the stigma of discussing salaries, and believe that it's propagated by companies to dissuade workers from getting fair salaries.

Some antibiotics, like sulfonamides, can be used in dogs but might cause adverse reactions in humans, such as allergies or severe skin reactions.

Bill Clinton ordered the GPS system to be available for civilian use in 2000. The GPS system has replaced mechanical navigators on almost all boats and ships.
