I never really understood the "I have nothing to hide" mindset. I've always been for privacy. I self host everything I use, and when I don't (e-mail) I PAY someone to do it for me. No Google services in my life, no apple, etc, etc.

However, more and more I'm wondering if what I'm doing is worth it. Really, the people who "have nothing to hide" seem fine, nothing bad has happened, and it seems far more likely my information was leaked from a hack (credit carma I'm looking at you). Credit cards know where I am, what I buy.... Its endless. Plus now I have stress about my self hosted services going down.

So these guys who share their location and just live in blissful ignorance, are they on to something? I think life would be 'easier' for me on their side...

I'm from B.C. and only grade 7 is mandatory so that's all I took. Outside of that class, French was nonexistent and was a huge reason I didn't care about it. I regret not sticking it out, especially now that I live in a French community in Ontario.

I'm on a pixel 3 also. The size is important but the front facing speakers are amazing. I can't find anything else like it.

Canadian here. I signed a contract with 4weeks of vacation that was changed to 'unlimited' this year. So far I've taken 5 weeks and have a 6th week approved in November.

I haven't used any sick days but they're unlimited. If you take more than 3 in a row, you need a doctors note.

15 weeks parental leave that can be split between partners (father can use none/some/all to look after child while mother goes back to work)

It's for security. They just want to confirm you're you from time to time.

Other things like a dynamic residential IP Addresses changes from time to time, or someone clearing the browsers cache can be the cause too.

Like everyone else said, replace it when it becomes a problem for you. Don't worry about the %life left, or how full you charge it. (IE some people try to keep it around 80% to extend the life of the battery)

Your phone is a tool, use it as such and replace parts when they become a problem. I'm still using a Pixel 3 which I'll upgrade later for security/updates.

I THINK the idea is you don't need a VPN with a private tracker. Other then that, the selection is usually better, and the seeders have faster uploads.

Ah yes, a polite adult conversation between two countries who have a dispute over land requires it to be empty. Couldn't possibility do that when lives are on the line. /s

There was a Whisky war over an island.

This is how shit should be settled, not whatever the fuck the rest of the world is doing.
