    I rarely go anywhere, so I only shower once a week to save freshwater for other ppl on the planet, since ground water is running out.

    Run every reasonable possible method of ad-blocking. From whole-house PiHole with uBlock, Privacy Badger, anti-tracking, VPN, and more. F/OSS software when possible.

    I thank gpt every time because apparently that costs them money.

    I click on sponsored links via a browser extension because it confuses profilers and costs them money.

    More to the woman. My girl once complained about me leaving the seat up.

    For years, I always put the seat AND the lid down.

    I have never paid rent or utilities or electricity.

    Currently live off grid on land I own using solar power. We have all electric appliances. Generator uses propane but only use it 1-2 times a year so it’s rare to refill the tank.

    The dump is only a few dollar when we take our trash (under $10) every few months.

    Self host on a NAS, have home assistant that helps a ton with power monitoring and control.

    My goal in a few years is to provide almost all my needs from my own land. Food, water, shelter, power, etc.

    I buy single purpose devices that are fully offline, durable, user serviceable, and useful… and then I go for a long time without buying anything but food. It’s almost like setting a new personal record: how many days in a row I can go without buying a single thing?

    I don’t remember the last time I saw an advert.

    Like, genuinely, I get politely confused when people talk about them. What do you MEAN you’re not adblocking everything? What do you MEAN you still use a service if you can’t adblock it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN you paid for YouTube?

    I joined a union and organized the election of a workers council at my workplace.
    Union dues are 1% of my salary.

    In the past 5 years, we managed to enforce:

    • the right to work from home
    • 20% pay for the time spent on call after hours, plus 1 day paid vacation for each week you’re on call (so I now have 42 days + unlimited sick days)
    • a company car for on call duty, which you’re allowed to use privately, too
    • work phones for every employee (instead of having to install the company MDM on your private phone)
    • convertible desks for everyone
    • and a substantial pay raise

        Sorry for the misunderstanding.
        It began with a little thing, simply writing an e-mail to the union, and kind of grew from there.

          All good man, I just wanted to point out how impressive what you did was. You didn’t just stick it to the man, you went Vlad the Impaler on his ass.
