I’n shocked, I tell you, absolutely shocked.

Just AI garbage.

Hard disagree. This, like all of privacy decisions, is entirely situational.

I’m setting out to the exact thing OP is, for both plying my craft, and accessing local community post about resources and events.

Don’t get me wrong, I fucking hate Meta, but I also hate being unhoused. I’ve spent months going back and forth weighing such a decision’s impact on my situation and determined the value I can get out of it to be worthwhile.

Your comment is absolutist and absurd, and total turn off for those interested in joining various privacy communities.

If you have a SSN, you have a number.

Well I totally get this entire system is mismanaged horribly designed from the start not even designed for this from the start, exetera…

Having some kind of standardized way of stating someone else’s trustworthiness when it comes to money lending it’s something that’s just inherit to capitalism as long as you have capitalism simple as that, even if they don’t call it a credit score.

Capitalism and Oppression.

Agreed. But as we have recently seen, its of more value to google than some of us ever thought. They are fighting long practiced User Blocking/geohoping and whatnot, and they are burning through serious cash and social credit with some of the bullshit they’ve been doing.

I know damn well my data is worth a fair amount more to the market, and that’s reason enough for me.

Your data has monetary value to google. Giving them access, without getting any money from them (or even knowing what ways it will be used) is not something you must do.

If the app provides enough value that is unique to it, then thats OK, but if a data-respecting alternative exists that costs nothing to download or use, and fits the same (or more) needs, then using it just makes sense.

If thats not you, then thats ok.

I also use keep, but thats because I haven’t degoogled my phone yet, so they already have most if not all of that data. Once I am in a position to be able to root and remove google without risking bricking my device (currently unhoused, and just cannot risk it rn), then I plan on never touching the damn thing.

To each their own.

Ha! Clever

I’m about ready to start disposing of these fucks.

One factor to keep in mind though, is human productivity only happens at that kind of speed if they (the citizens involved) feel like they are getting something back from the process. And Chinese disillusionment with their own economy is growing.

If only we had a free market 🫤 (but still fuck musky husky)

Rumor has it Apple is planning to announce one that works with their products. But for some reason, instead of concatenating their own brand name to it (AAAAA would sell so well) they’ve instead decided to name it “MarketMask”… typical apple

Luckily for me, I have the new AntiAdAssAdapter™, so I don’t have to worry about that kind of stuff at all. Finally! I have the time to do what I want like take my grandkids to their school performance, or sit and nod at my clearly pregnant daughter while we look over a baby crib catalogue! Thanks Quadruple A!

Your wife… she is quite the tolerant lady

Because I want to helpful: if you are moving to a home large enough for you to feel that an intercom is needed, then the cost associated with having a simple system installed would be the best way to maintain your privacy, well, your privacy to those without physical access to your home at least.

I can’t think of any intercom-related reason that outweighs the needless additional network load, nightmarish privacy policies, and instant gratification through retail buttons, that a network of echo’s could provide.

You should hire a nicely-dressed and polite person to simply relay your messages in person. And while not needed, they could be tending to other tasks, like your laundry or maybe tending the garden…

Especially this kind of Info… I want it blasted all over my ti… feed.

The only thing the Sith did wrong was not hire a queer person for their uniforms / outfits.

Thats the equivalent of a “preemptive peacekeeping” mission. I’d have thought we’d see the UK be the first to something along these lines. 🙄

Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between and outside of:

If you require/have a salary meaning you receive a paycheck you are not wealthy. The people who have100’s of millions, if not billions, do not receive a paycheck unless it’s for Pomp and Circumstance, and even at that amount who the fuck would bother.

There is no middle class, and there never has been.
