That's gonna depend on your launcher, for me it's just long press an icon + tap edit

You can set any icon to anything you want so doesn't even need to be fake.

Big fuck you to the Belgian govt who detected my developer settings being on and blocked their app from working...

Btrfs works with different hard drive sizes, with 1 disk failure with no data loss.

Developers deserve to be paid for their time though...

Sure for many it's nothing but a hobby and they're happy to create something for free. But that doesn't mean every developer needs to do the same.

And yes ads are a privacy nightmare and putting them into your app is bad. So either you only use apps from hobbyists or you pay for access (whether that be a set price for a finished product or a subscription for a service).

Does rounding up to the nearest 5 (when reasonable) count because I don't like coins?

Anddd... You use wifi to connect to their servers, so they'll have your residential ip (unless you got a VPN on at all times... And even then there's probs some way to fingerprint you enough). Partner uses the same wifi network and your profiles are linked again...

There really just is no way to completely escape. Blocking all ads and trackers on a DNS level (using a pi-hole or external service like nextdns[paid, but its pretty good]). Is a good solution though, at least you won't need to actually see ads

I use it all the time for the one time use cards, and it's been effortless to use.

The data breach is of course bad, but no company is completely immune to those.

Privacy policy... Is not a great look (especially with the marketing being opt-out and having a convoluted process...) I honestly hadn't heard about it. But even now I'll continue to use it because weighing the marketing vs my CC details out there is still not a hard choice.

Depending on where you live Revolut might be an option for you. Unlike privacy.com its basically just an online bank where you can open an account and send money to/from, but they offer a one-time-use credit card (which changes every time you use it).

It's more of a way to reduce costs for the CDN, using torrents everyone contributes and they only have to send a small magnet file.

Only time I ever felt small was when I stepped off the train in The Netherlands. (2m)

Seeing as you had about a 3 frame window to line up the middle one (and pure chance to line up the bottom one), don't be too hard on yourself
