Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • you are sharing your location with a greedy company […] and then the highest bidder access this information

    Pretty sure I read it.

    You can do location sharing WITHOUT interacting with any “greedy company” or “highest bidder”.

    Then you state…

    if you run nextcloud and that addon I don’t remember, or reitti, at home and use that, and you keep is somewhat safe*

    and I confirm that you can do it in Nextcloud, and ALSO Home Assistant… as Home assistant is also likely to be something people are running.

    I think you didn’t read my comment

    I think that you think that everyone who ever comments to your post is always arguing against you.

    Edit: missed a couple of words.






  • Your entire comment here is part of the reason this country is as broken as it is.

    My comment was just on the facts. Not that I agreed with them.

    So your insinuation and downvote, just shows that you make a lot of assumptions about people and I would argue that your post is way more damaging to the country than mine.

    Edit: I’m not here arguing with you. I’m just outlining why you see it the way you do. I think it’s shit. But apparently you think I agree with the system just because it’s working for me. That’s not the case, and you’re the worse off for starting random hostility with people for it.


  • I didn’t misunderstand. You can’t claim you’re playing the credit game and only have one credit card and no non-revolving debts for years.

    And no it hasn’t put you in a worse spot. “No credit” is effectively equivalent to “shitty score”. You didn’t need a cosigner when you were 20 because that was probably decades ago when credit score wasn’t used as a metric.




  • One card at $5k limit (making this number up, only you know what you’re approved for on your card) doesn’t necessarily show worthiness for holding more debt. I have 4 active cards… aggregating about $40k of revolving limits. Of course rarely ever use them and pay them down.

    Holding no non-revolving debts can actually hurt you. If you haven’t had a car note or mortgage in a long time, they don’t know if you’re capable of holding such debt effectively anymore. Before we bought a house, I specifically held onto the car notes and only paid the second car off after we secured the mortgage. Of course with a mortgage, I’ll be sitting on “debt” (really building equity in the house) for a while. but meeting the terms of that debt monthly only strengthens evidence that I can manage debt correctly, increasing score.

    Edit: For you, try to increase your limits on your card. If not take out another card and make a purchase every few months on it to keep it active. As you increase the “allowances” you have, and keep that in check… you’ll find your number goes up quite quickly. As far as non-revolving debt, don’t take out a loan if you don’t need it, but think about sitting on a loan for your next purchase even if you have the cash on hand to build the credit up.











  • So the military has been bound by the same handcuffs that McDonalds is with it’s ice cream machines?

    Yes… It’s funny because I worked on a platform called the MLRS. I saw what repairs to the circuitry of the GPS and other modules look like. I could have fixed it myself… by hand… The circuit boards were vietnam era looking stuff (the platform was from the 80’s, but developed during the 70s)… Meaning the trace pitch was measured in mm. Like I could pop open shit and eyeball and solder that shit with crappy $10 bargain bin soldering iron. But nah, needed to get a special civilian to show up and replace the board (they didn’t even try to fix it).
