Not saying you should use a credit card, but I haven't seen this point made so I'm going to bring it up.

Everything is more expensive because of credit cards. That 2% cash back doesn't come from nowhere, and it isn't (only) sourced from people paying interest on their payments. Every transaction at a store that accepts credit cards is 2-5% more expensive simply because that store accepts credit cards. The credit card company charges a transaction fee when it is used, and the store isn't going to change the price of something based on your payment method. So everyone pays the 2-5% markup.

This is why I personally have credit cards and also why I would support getting rid of them.

    As a USian I completely agree. Our arrogance has been simmering for a long time, and it's boiling over now. I want the best for my country and I truly believe that we need to face some tangible hardships before real, positive change will occur.

    • America’s Greatest Hot Dog: The price and quality of the $1.50 Costco frank haven’t budged in 40 years. It’s the last—and best—deal in the country. in c/food@beehaw.org

    This is not true. While the price is the same, the bun has gotten smaller, so you're getting less hot dog for the same price. The all-beef weiner is the same though. Does that matter? Up to you. But the product has objectively changed.

    Which Google Maps alternative looks similar to (or can be made to look similar to) Google Maps? in c/android@lemmy.world

    I agree the addresses display strangely but the search still works, so it's okay for me.

    But I'm really commenting to say that the left of the four buttons can be changed! Settings > Interface > Left button setup. Mine is set to add a place to OSM as I like to edit, but it can also be a shortcut to settings, record a track, or be removed entirely.
