  • I use a real sounding name like luis.m.donovan1962@gmail.com

    The more real it appears the harder it is to distinguish garbage data. Also a personal VPN with aguard home running. If I end up choosing a real existing email, well I’m just helping muddy the profile of someone else.

    No shopping apps ever, loyalty cards in a fake name with email aliases to a central junk mailbox.

    To hell with the lot of them and their business model.

    They can profile the device and get hardware info depending on make and software etc but the gold is their app which sucks up everything including your phone number and what you visit on their network. I wouldn’t dream of connecting without a vpn unless it was an emergency situation.

    That being said data is always preferable when you have the option.









  • I have a rough outline of things I’d like to see. Such as some tourist attractions , nature sites , zoos , museums etc.

    We do as many as we can but also eat out along the way. We avail of metro , trains and walking where possible. If the city has a river or canal tour we usually do that too.

    Mainly it is just to unwind and get away from the rat race for a few days.






  • EA and Ubisoft.

    Most clothing brands… I’m not paying a premium to be a walking advertisement and its all made in sweatshops anyway. I’d rather some non branded stuff so I’m contributing less to that whole system.

    I dont care about all of the android watch or apple airtag stuff either. The new phone can do xyz… Great still dont care as its a tracking piece of shit that will break in a few years… I may as well keep my current piece of shit until the wheels fall off.

    Subscription services. I used to use Netflix back in the day when you only needed one subscription and changing the DNS still worked.

    I use free Spotify with brave adblocking and newpipe for music. I hear sailing is lovely this time of year.

    TLDR: I avoid most corporations where I can , I think valve are the only one that I dont mind interacting with.
