Some of us got less lucky than others...

One of the few things we agree on with my spouse is not having a TV in the bedroom. The TV in the living room and our PCs are enough, the bedroom is for sleeping.

Had to scroll too long for this. Exactly, they have been trying for years, this time they are getting further with it.

I've checked once on the fingerprint testing website how my firefox scores and brave just out the box scored way better. I have been considering to move to brave since then. Temporarily I settled on using firefox for casual web browsing and mullvad for shopping.

Ours doesn't, we collect it in used oil plastic bottles and there's a collecting area at every petrol station.

I agree. I have been using it for years. First it was a bit buggy with my Huawei GT 2, but it has become almost buttersmooth. The devs are really putting effort in it.

Most probably true. It is sad though that they are not straightforward about it so that they send a list of domains they like.

I know I cannot win this one, but on my last attempt to reason with them, I asked for a list of allowed domains...

[–] ritchie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sucks to see something go this way. Recently I was forced to flash stock ROM on an older phone to be able to use revolut, because they cracked down on custom firmwares...

Oh, the good ol' T&C violation, of course not saying which part... vinted is smashing hard on people not using big tech solutions.

[–] ritchie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You practically either have the option to use your "subdomain" e.g. foo@mylittlepony.addy.io or if you are fine with random characters, then you can have an address on the main domain e.g. xhgj18273@addy.io. Unfortunately this is not the first provider I see only accepting big tech addresses/accounts...

Alright, not 100% correct, but I am paying for a plan at addy.io and I used my personal "subdomain" at addy.io that I don't want to share here, because it does not matter.

 

Just a little storytime about Vinted.

I just wanted to register on Vinted to sell some second-hand stuff, because I haven't had much success elsewhere. I would have never imaged that they will reject my addy.io alias. After a couple of annoying e-mails detailing how to register an account, I was left with the answer on the screenshot after trying to get an explanation why the domain I am paying for (not some random free gmail address) is not worthy of their services...
