Would you be okay with a porn website requiring a copy of your government identification and then turning your viewing data over to the government?

Do you trust the websites and government to not get breached or release data?

Or is this Mike Johnsons burner account and it's not enough to know what porn his son is watching?

So, is Bob's Boat Oars hiring?

If your opponent follows no rules and utilizes violence against all who they consider their enemies, pacifism is complicity.

Downloaded, used an empty home for the address, selected The Satanic Temple as my church, deleted the app, and gave it one star. Took 5 minutes.

That's probably a good thing, though.

Up until now, AirBnB was more concerned about upsetting their providers. Now that local governments are starting to crack down, AirBnB now is more worried about staying in business. Especially if they end up on the losing end of multiple privacy lawsuits.

Go crawl wherever you want, just not on my lawn!

It lasted longer than I thought. Probably because it was a weekend and Elon was probably too busy sniffing his own farts.

Well considering they basically did just that with Instagram and WhatsApp, it wouldn't be surprising if they did.

You can still be a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, bootlicking piece of shit as long as you use the correct names and pronouns.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

Probably the same folks who think that Xitter is better under Muskrats leadership.

What's a "life"? Is this something I'm too poor to understand?

As a fellow human, I enjoy being bipedal and metabolizing oxygen. Purchasing luxury products such as these Bose headphones is also an enjoyable human behavior.

Get an Onn stick and adapt it to your needs.

I come out ahead in a sense without Prime because if I pay for overnight, it's late 80% of the time. I get the shipping refunded and the item arrives before the Free Shipping deadline.

If they were truly smart they wouldn't be on a site run by a narcissistic right wing billionaire with breeding fantasies that's turned it into a fascist echo chamber rife with CSAM, antisemitism, and disinformation.

...or I'll continue to destroy the company

Please don't associate Xitter with the ancient Romans. They never hurt you.

People who seek power and authority will use whatever tools at their disposal. Christianity is a good tool because it is inherently monotheistic (leaving all the Trinitarian nonsense aside), thus making it authoritarian. One God. One mouthpiece. Christianity would have become dominant somewhere else and infected the world.

After reading so much about this, I'm definitely going to start reading up on running a Pihole at home

I'd like to ask for suggestions on FAQs or guides that'd help me get started.

TIA!

harry_balzac ,

I'm going to take a look. Thanks!

I have to use Edge and Bing at work. I've gotten so used to how I have Firefox and DDG set up as my browser and search on my phone and home computer that using Edge & Bing is uncomfortable - the results page is just a cluttered mess. Is the link an ad? A real result?

Why would I think that Bing chat is anything other than a gimmick? There's no incentive to use something that might turn out to be just another way for Microsoft to get more data from me.

Android allows installation of apps outside of the Play Store. Generally, nothing terribly difficult to do. It's actually very easy on my Android TV as well as my phone.

harry_balzac ,

Without hesitation, yes.
