Just AI garbage.

Ok, what’d I miss?

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.

On the other hand, the power vacuum his absence would cause could result in a Gorbachev-type taking lead.

Or a Stalin…

Agreed.

But he’s a sack of shit, so I don’t think too many people will think that hard.

Obviously any and all outside support for either is completely due to complex and additional ulterior motives… but even knowing that, I’m sick of my taxes being used like they are and I find myself in agreement with this fucker…

What moment did we stray from a reasonable timeline

But he admitted to fucking some kind of couch?

Not that I doubt you for a minute but why exactly is he a couch fucker

#ProblemsOfTheUpper-Lowers

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…

I read this in the narrator voice from Em’s albums

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. 🙄

It is currently, but education of the current voting populace began, and began to fail, long before 2025.

Believe me, i’m accutely aware of 2025. I’m preparing as best as my homeless trans ass can atm, in case me and my chosen peeps feel it best leave in a hurry.

And, while it spells out lots of shitty policy for the trumpers, I very seriously doubt that the concept isn’t much more than an assembly of 1. Stating the obvious, and taking the reigns / credit for, the exploitations started by men who are long dead. 2. A group of groups/shakey collective, and their ideas on how to “take over” the government in a very “you won’t believed this loophole” sort of way.

Is it possible they even mostly succeed? Abso-fucking-lutely, and I worry that its very very likely.

If the left, and those hurt by their own right leaders, cannot manage to stop this, within or outside of the government… and considering how so many opportunities to do that between now and then… then we deserve it. And i’ll gtfo this place, or die trying if it comes to that.

But, given how trump post-election, no longer holds that weighty 2nd term value to the media and politicians alike, I suspect all that trump loyalty dramatically decease before midterms.
