Properly trained spies are fascinating.

Such a braindead take. Their waste is not in any way relevant to your waste. Just because other people do something bad does not mean you can do it. I thought that was something we were supposed to teach our kids during early socialization…

If all is what she demands…

I gotta side with Emily on this one. She clearly deserves some duck.

If you could skip one aspect of skydiving, would you skip the free fall or the soft landing?

If you voted D, this is exactly what you voted for. Fool me once… you are on “fool me every time and I will be shocked and blame you” still… This was the most predictable course in the history of politics.

As expected… how are people still shocked?

To be fair, I wasn’t an avid user. I had 2 or 3 important communities there that I was active in on and off for a long time. It wasn’t a big sacrifice… reddit feels bigger.

Frank and Beeeeeeans!

I wrote my thesis on a narrow field in corporate finance in 2021, and I am completely outdated, because I quit the industry in 24… Shit has moved fast.

Putting things on bread is as old as bread…

Probably. But every server I was investrd in migrated, so why not ditch that horrible murican company alltogethet…

It’s really not. If you assume they are corrupt and at least slightly fascist, you got it covered.

As long as it’s regulated, that could be a very good thing.

I work at a huge dairy plant. We run our own wastewater treatment plant. We also sell some of the waste heat from pasteurizing to a nearby greenhouse.

We have a duty to report telemetry from our waste, so the government knows when we fuck up and have a leak or something like that. Works like a charm.

I gotta be honest… Whenever I buy bananas I hope no one touches them so they can become over ripe and I can make banana bread.

Sooooo delicious.

I think it is just GDPR. I uninstalled the shit immediately when I saw the prompt. Just like my reddit account.

No, but an analytics tool already know you are the same user. As soon as a tool identifies you it can data mine your account and append it to your profile. The instance owner isn’t the threat. Your open profile is.

The internet profile cat has been let out, though, so stopping it is near impossible.

Email address, device, wifi. If you log onto anything on a device enough it is tied to your profile. They just append everything on all your accounts to one internet profile.

The internet knows who you are and where you are. It’s not hard to tie you to any account you log on. This can be circumvented, but it is a major hassle and not user friendly.

I can name 10 shows matching those criteria…
