That seems unlikely. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you’ve signed up for at least one service in the past year that required a credit card up front.
- paskozdilar 5y agoNope, I haven't. In fact, I don't recall using any paid services lately, except the ones my employer provides me in order to do my job. That being said, I just don't like the concept of services altogether. If I can setup a system myself to do the thing I want, then I set it up. If I cannot, I try to find a way to live without it. I am somewhat of a Free Software idealist, so this text has really resonated with me a few years back: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-s... So perhaps I could've left out the "Personally,..." sentence, since I'm am probably not the OP's target audience :)
