This works for cases where just being a member gets a lower price, but at least some stores have digital coupons that need to be added to my account. This would not work with a generic card. It is definitely a good tip for stores where it does work though.

Grocery store rewards programs. I know they are designed to link purchases to me, but the financial savings is worth the loss of privacy for me.

While still not as seamless as on Windows, WiVRn works great for VR on Linux in my experience.

I really like Filen. They have an open source app on all operating systems, including Linux, which Proton Drive still does not support. They also recently added support for Rclone.

Signal still requires a phone number. What was added is usernames for contacts, so you no longer need to give other people your phone number for them to contact you. It is a step in the right direction, but it would be great for them to get rid of the phone number requirement all together.

Thunder and Voyager are my favorites on Android, but Mlem on iOS is my overall favorite.

Never. I have latex foam pillows that are a solid block, so there is nothing to fluff. It took me a while to get used to how firm they are, but I absolutely love them now.

AudioBooth is a free and open source iOS app for Audiobookshelf.

There is Synctrain and Möbius Sync. They are not perfect due to iOS restrictions on apps running in the background, but they work well enough as long as I occasionally open them to make sure they sync.

HGST was created after Hitachi bought IBM’s hard drive business. It was then later bought by Western Digital.

I no longer use Nextcloud. I use rclone with the smb remote for my NAS.

pCloud has a Linux client. Both GUI and CLI. But I personally use rclone for all cloud services. It is often even more reliable and offers better performance than official clients. It also allows managing multiple cloud services from the same place. It supports client-side encryption as well.
