How is this person forcing you? Are you an adult? So they provide the material benefits for your life, like good and shelter?

If "yes" to being an adult, and then "no" to being a dependent or an employee, then this requires a lot more conversation.

If you have an android phone, you can make use of FDroid and Islands/'Insular' (without root access) to have a separately secure side of your phone for apps and system settings.

For example, I loaded all of my work apps in there and then set a VPN so that ALL OFF THEM were unable to connect to the Internet when the VPN was offline, so that the ip-location and the DNS didn't tattle on my travels. My regular phone use was secured away to the point I couldn't accidentally send photos from my regular photos app through my work email app, only the second copy that lived within that 'secure folder' style partition.

Obviously your situation is harsher but at least you can mitigate a bit by being able to offline the app for considerable intervals, this way.

Good luck. I hope that you share more of this story.

Edit: I see you are stuck on iOS. I have zero suggestions for your specific situation besides "work on the relationship, and your always have the right to walk away from the business or the adult relationship if it's untenable."

Frustrating, because we really need both.

I don't know about any of this. I pretty much only have looked into it for porn and bootlegs of academic papers. Feels like I'm missing out on all the 'fun' of ai chats and cult groups.

My transaction sending a small amount of cash to a personal friend in Australia exited my account just fine, but failed to materialize in theirs today.

I wonder if it's affecting specifically Australia, because they were unable to open their own new account today for some kind of rate limiting or velocity timeout.

Like if Wise have some microservice or compliance API calls failing for Australia markets specifically, that could explain these three failings that you'd expect headlines talking about a countrywide outage affecting that significant of a market.

Lulwut? When did /r/TD start leaking into Lemmy. Did any of what you said have anything to do with what I said?

Are you feeling alright, man?

Edit: seriously leaning towards 'bot' at this point. Humans that find their way into Lemmy have generally been much more capable, and much less MGTOW

I love this, so much. Blue Links have been the most critical pass to my future, across my entire life.

Purple links often, too. I can't imagine surrendering the ability to sift through information with my own eyes and hands and brain.

The internet was founded on the sponsorship model where content was free and ads were ubiquitous. while I completely agree with you that I would rather pay for the product instead of being the product, at this informs every single sign up I make on the internet, I think it's self deluding to think there's any great again to go back to. The philosophy was always there, the execution just wasn't possible until they had finished building their walled gardens

Is St Elmo's Fire made of Li-Ion or Life-Po?

This is the intended purpose of a vpn, to throw your traffic to another location's IP address geographically separate your traffic from your location.

You can change the exit node of your VPN. Mulvad has a fairly straightforward user interface and you can just choose another country to be relocating your traffic through.
