Some credit cards offer 2% cash back... (Not points) So it's hard to give that up when you get 2% off for just about every dollar you spend. Why wouldn't you put every dollar on card you would normally spend.

This doesn't work well if you are paying interest...

If you're fiscally savvy and don't overspend and can pay your balance in full every month and are not paying interest, this is a strong vote for choosing over cash.

However, without that....I see no benefit and would use more cash for all reasons in this thread.

Hey there!, No need to take it personally. Thanks for the post, I happen to know what navidrome is and found this post helpful.

A tag would be helpful for others, not required but I think the feedback came from a good place.

Does this contribute to warming the planet? 😁

Rest in peace Alexia

Haha this made me chuckle. Having experienced working with one of the named parties.

Then again they are very effective at running up costs

What a douche bag

Good technique.

Visualization I think it's called?

Ah yeah... Not constitutional.

She's just doing this for her image.

One thing I would suspect is they leverage third parties and share your phone number to get back additional known data about you or your interests or other activities which other companies have shared. I think in a way it ends up being a connection point for your data across many places.

This sounds like a clandestine way to force cooperation of backdoors, otherwise asking for permission to patch your own software is bonkers ...

That's unacceptable. I agree get a dumb modem from them and use your own Router/firewall/ access points

I'm sure it's normal as brain plasticity takes time to reshape the neuron pathways and memory links. Give your brain and inner voice some time to get to know your new self and it will come.

Don't be so hard on yourself!

Cheers!
