Use a virtual credit card when signing up for subscription services. Set the recurring amount at just enough to cover the trial amount, and then once the subscription fee goes up it’ll notify you if you wish to continue paying for it. You can increase the limit if you want to keep the service, or just let the card decline until the service is cancelled. Most credit cards have virtual cards as an option, but I also use app.paywithextend.com

Well, let’s do some quick math. Let’s count billable hours in a day with a minimum billable hour being 1 hour. If you work a 6 hour work day, and can complete the average task in 15 minutes, that works out to 24 possible billable hours in one day accounting for a total of 90 minutes of actual work.

So yeah, on paper it’s actually really easy to “work” 100 hours per week

It’s Connect. I’ve got 6 apps for lemmy currently installed, going back and forth as they continue to update versions, and Connect continues to be my favorite

Oryx & Crake - solid start to a Margaret Atwater series. Lots of world building and exposition. Looking forward to continuing the series. Currently reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King

Well. There’s gotta be a first time on a new platform. Congratulations

If it’s just another server that I can choose to follow or not, whatever, doesn’t bother me. Anything that will make the fediverse better, faster is ok imo.

That being said, I do not, nor will ever trust Facebook
