That all sounds god awful. You may consider giving Ally bank a try. No US banks can be truly private post patriot act, but their website is full featured and they essentially never charge fees. They also have crazy high interest checking rates, and decent customer service.

If you stick with your current horse corpse dumpster fire bank, I question the merit of avoiding downloading their mobile app and instead sticking your card into lots of random unverified ATMs to try to get balance reports. At least here in Montana, those reports will often incur a charge even if you don’t withdraw money. The app may not be great, but SSL is cryptographically sound and the bank has your social and your identity anyway. Sometimes it’s more secure to dance with the devil you know. Just a thought.

Either way, best of luck

If you were watching YouTube videos without watching ads, they were losing money on you. You not watching videos on YouTube is going to be a net gain for them.

Oh no, YouTube has been losing money on you for 17 years, they’re gonna be so sad.

Many instances are having growing pains, and figuring out which apps aren’t crap is difficult. On iOS, I’ve been pretty happy with Memmy, though Lemmios is good too.

Overall though, the communities here are more pleasant to interact with, and Reddit can’t be trusted. Lemmy has gotten significantly better in just the last month. Give it time and stick with it.

It looks like someone photoshopped a sticker on a cheap watch

Some core features I’d love to see in an iOS lemmy client

  • The ability to render photos, videos, and gifs in the app

  • The ability to view the community lists for specific instances that my instance federates with

  • Robust cross-instance search, with the ability to filter out certain instances

  • A multi-Reddit style community subset aggregator

  • The ability to click a link to a post left within a different post and have it open in-app

  • The ability to minimize previously viewed stickied posts

  • The ability to hide stickied posts from the main feed

Cool Stuff

  • The ability to have a merged feed of posts consisting of multiple accounts on different instances

  • Kbin Compatibility

  • Hidden downvote buttons when dealing with instances that disallow it

Yes, you do have to tip. If you don’t, nobody will say anything and nothing bad will happen, but you will have caused a random person to suffer and made it just a little harder for workers in a horribly exploitive industry to make ends meet.

With that said, I’m talking about sit down restaurants where servers bring you your food. If you’re in a coffee shop, a dollar or two at most is fine, and no one is going care if you don’t tip at all. Same goes for carry out and fast food places.

The outer worlds, though I sorta skipped some of the dlc.
