I'm really curious about why I always hear about these horror stories in the US but I never hear about them happening in a EU country. Does anyone know why?

I've lived in 3 EU countries and visited and known people from many more and while it's true most people would be against most wars, I don't think most people would be against a MIC sponsorship for an open source conference.

Oh God, imagine the self-, peer, and top-down pressure to take that, both for students and working adults.

May I ask about your experience since leaving Ozempic compared to before you started taking it? I'm not considering taking Ozempic nor am I aware of anyone who has, so I'm curious.

Yes, but the hard part is that were a lot of "74"s and you had to figure out which one had to be changed... :)

I'll happily concede the expensiveness point, and also say that if we are not entertaining the idea of forcing anyone to give up meat (which is what I thought we were discussing), then we are not in disagreement. I'll only add tha

They also didn't eat a lot of fries, sugared beverages, ultra-processed food, etc... which is easily available nowadays and likely to be consumed when one doesn't feel satiated (e.g. due to meat consumption). That's not to sa

Will that stop other people from tracking my devices? Or will they still send my location and Bluetooth ID information to Google?

Even Google has to comply with warrants. Even secret ones. You should assume the location of your devices will be disclosed whenever the US gov has a plausible reason for requesting it, regardless of which part of the globe you live in.

So you're saying that it's not possible to do what I asked, currently. And judging by the other comments in this thread ATM (with one possible exception), nobody seems to care...

Let me qualify my question: how do I disable this completely without otherwise losing network connectivity or other features ? i.e. how do I opt out of tracking other people and being tracked myself, i.e. without explicit consent?

The military format is ambiguous. For example, 12MAY24 means 2024-05-12 in English but it means 2024-03-12 in Manx Gaelic [1]. Also, tell me: what date is 10SKÁ11? Or 01DU02? Furthermore, a lexicographic sort will do the wrong thing. Better
