This is very roundabout and only 1/4 serious… but you could maybe even earn some pocket change becoming a cam-person. Stream with device, with the app backgrounded, and watch the stream from your web browser. There is always a built in delay of a few seconds, and you can make money/get internet bullied.

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.

Scott, stop abusing Jeb. He’s people too.

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.

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.

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

Or a Stalin…

Currently next to my partner who is playing/using a app called Finch thats a mix between Sims decoration and a habit tracker, and of checks all your boxes. The artwork is adorable.

That said, all of the games I play are for girls, because I am a girl

Eh, he may not know it know it, but he fears he has and this the plan b being brought closer to the fold.

But yes of course vote.

Its not election strategy at all, this prep for a coup attempt. He knows he’s lost, and now he’s whistling off the back porch prepping his dogs to dowhat he is too dumb and fat to do on his own.

Yeah… but i’ve said that same thing several times this year alone. Seems like we can take a hell of a beating so long as theirs show’s to binge or something ¯\(ツ)/¯

I’ll come out and just say it: your comment, is so much my overall mood, that it literally is the most exciting thing I’ve read on Lemmy today.

I’m too mental to lead a revolt, but i’m sitting on pins and needles for someone(s) who is fit to lead, and i’ll be there to back them 100% the moment they do.

Poor people tend to be busy people who don’t always follow up on their mail. And there’s just enough education left in this country that poir people still tend to vote intelligently… just enough

I mean, I myself was so fucking depressed that it was between the two, so literally anything that the Democrats would put up other than Biden I’m automatically going to be thrilled about. I could think of a few better options, actually quite the handful of better options than Harris, but you bet your sweet ass I’m still going to vote for her and support the ever living fuck out of her cuz fuck Trump.

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

I would bet they have their own battery and use that while the car is off

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!
