Yes! Same, the routes thing makes it hard in a city with traffic! I'm haply to use something like gmaps wv for finding which route is best, but then there's no way to choose a different route in comaps!

Ooo I haven't! I will definetly try it out. Thanks for the rec :)
I struggle with cronic illness and I suspect social media plays a role. I've made some questionable decisions in my life and looking back I do wonder if social media instilled some drive for status in me that made me disregard my health. Not to mention doom scrolling on the couch for hours directly impacting my body.
It makes me happy to hear how these changes have positively impacted your life. I am also starting to feel that pride and security. It feels like I've killed some digital demon sucking energy from my soul and subconscious. I'm hoping its absence helps with my social anxiety.
grapheneos :) its been great! still have to use a burner google account sadly cause I live in a horrible traffic car city and need google maps.
The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon. Crazy enlightening book that describes the mechanics of neocolonialism. Written in 1961 but feels extremely relevent in today's climate.
Going with the drives idea! Got some more ssds and am just gonna do weekly backups using vorta.
Also KeePassDX can do 2fa and if you keep passwords there it makes logging in with 2fa super quick and seamless
haven't had any issues so far! but I ported my existing number and haven't tried creating any new accounts which is where I suspect most of the issues arise. most carriers give out your name and address to banks so I think jmp is targeted when you are a new customer and they want to verify you through your carrier. i have switched to a local credit union for my cards so if an issue arises I can always talk to a real human to verify my identity
same! only used half a gig last month its mind boggling. cost 3 bucks for data and 5 bucks for my number thru jmp

I feel you! Getting rid of Spotify took me a long time. The thing I discovered that changed the game for me was multi genre tagging for my music. Cause, at least for me, that's what I really liked about Spotify: opening the app and clicking a recommended playlist which normally centered around a certain genre/vibe.
When I first starting building up my digital music library, having to make specific playlists for each mood felt like way to much work. But now I use Auxio on my phone and use mp3tag on my computer to add genres to new music that I download (+syncthing to sync my library from computer -> phone). Some are less then accurate but reflect that desire for certain vibes. For example I use a 'nostalgia' genre tag which for me just means 2010s recession pop that I listened to as a kid.
The real nice thing is that now songs appear in multiple genres. So if want to shuffle 'sad piano ballad's that include a rihanna song, I have that with one click, but I also have that song in my 'nostalgia' genre!
It does take a fair amount of work to tag, but now that I have about 1500 songs all tagged the way I like, I don't miss spotify's convinience at all!
edit: also, metrolist is a great app I use when a friend recommends a song and I want to stream to see if I like it before going through the effort of buying / soulseeking it
