Agree. The number of people I know who “don’t” cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It’s cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that’s totally different from my day job.

For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.

Tilley FTW.

I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.

I wish Apple was transparent enough to have a real comparison of their privacy.

Personal guess, Apple is generating just as much personal data, just using it less offensively than Google. That’s not good but it’s betterish, I guess.

Main things I’m stuck using Google for at the moment are Gmail and Maps. Gmail, because my address I’ve had over there since Gmail was invite only. Maps, because they are one of the only decent sources for restraunt reviews these days (why did Zomato have to kill UrbanSpoon :( )

Hmm that would seem to do the trick then. Curiously, by that same definition reddit would have an argument to being exempt.

I guess lemmy’s lack of trackers would also help with that problem.

I’ll do both for a bit and see what happens.

I’m done posting on reddit, and I’m only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I’ll probably still go there to look at content.

That said, I’m trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

Went to go get some errands done, and come back to find I have more Lemmy upvotes than I had karma in the last 10 years lol.
