Sure, but that's not because Facebook is popular.

Agreed. As an American raising a child in Europe, it's also strange that what I believe to be perfectly reasonable positions like "My child should have the right to play outside unbothered by police or busy-bodies", are not o

You did encrypt all of those passwords you're collecting, right? Likewise, all of you who signed up did use a unique or throwaway password, right? If you did share a password, you must immediately change it for all of the other shared

Twain was no fool but literally was a gambler. "I learned to play poker there, and soon became an adept at the game. It was in the little blind hells in Virginia City, that the game became riveted upon me, and from that time on I seld

I will restate it. The agenda here is not complicated. A federal LE agency wants to pad their budget. That's it. That's the agenda. A state or municipality forbids their own LEOs from employing civil forfeiture. The Feds see an op

Is it true that Ireland "supervises" Meta in that sense? If I have a complaint under GDPR, I file a complaint locally and not with Irish regulators.

What it says right on the tin, man. To bypass local laws that prevent local cops from using civil forfeiture to seize cash and property. Confused by your question.

by rendall 4y ago
I believe that equitable sharing of civil forfeiture counts. Locals make a law preventing local cops from seizing cash and property that is not part of a criminal investigation. Local cops bypass that law by working with the Feds. Profit!

I don't give permission even in private mode. If they do it anyway it's on them.

Yes, agreed. I didn't understand that. For me, Signal is preferred but I will use WhatsApp if I must.

Maybe they do, but they ask each visit, so these tracking companies at least maintain the illusion that they don't know who I am. Each time I say no.

Ars Technica is not much better. Here are the "always active" non-choices from their own GDPR pop-up ("Powered by OneTrust"). That is to say, you cannot opt-out of these: Match and combine offline data sources: Al

If I see a pop-up, especially from "OneTrust", I immediately close the tab and re-open the site in Private/Incognito mode. There are some sites I just reflexively open that way. "Ars Technica" is but one example.

I'm a fan of git, but I feel your pain regarding inconsistencies. Why o why is it: `git log --oneline` and `git commit --no-edit`? Why not `--one-line` or `--noedit`? Why a hyphen in one and not the other? There are a lot of other such

I'm afraid that complaints about the use of literally as an intensifier comes off as naive these days. https://youtu.be/0p5oNM86Hgw?t=257 @4:17 " No one complains about "fabulous"... or "marvelous&q

I am surprised that the Nile is only at 105th, far below even the Danube and the Volga. It holds such prominence in Western history that I naively expected it to be in the top 5.

> Furthermore, once you leave the Amish community, you are forever renounced by your family and friends This is not true. Watch Devil's Playground for counter-examples.

Georgetown from Steam wrote "... since you mentioned you do not originally created the account... [sic] That's a non-native construction. Unusual, for it to be coming from official support.

It is difficult, but not unknown. The documentary Devil's Playground features several Amish who permanently left the church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil's_Playground_(2002_film) And also, sadly, man
