I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
Just think of all the other things that could benefit from a “protective waiting period” to enhance your safety.
Turning off location tracking, using a web browser other than Chrome, using a mail server other than Gmail, visiting duckduckgo.com — if Google really cared about your privacy and security they’d add a 24-hour delay to all these dangerous activities.
Easy. Never run windows.
The conclusion is correct but you need to show your work a little more.
A car is pretty much the last thing you’d want to have a network connection. I’d sooner hook up my refrigerator and let it send analytics data to Frigidaire.
It’s not the rate, it’s the ratio.

When I used to drive through the intersection where that situation would happen I’d ignore their requests for money (I didn’t have much) but unless I was in an especially bad mood I’d give them a friendly hello, and sometimes they’d be happy enough to stop and chat with someone who treated them like human being for a moment. Otherwise they’d ignore me and move on, which is also fine.
Good luck with your transition from porn bot to outrage bot.
It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?
Which slang word does that image represent? It might be one I’d like to know.
People do occasionally buy new computers, and this one looks likely to be a better choice than most of what’s on the market.
I’m sure there’s still a good American newspaper out there somewhere, but I don’t know what it is. All the familiar big ones seem to have fallen.
My rule of thumb: Do not ever link to, or follow links to, or read the New York Times.
Yeah I would prefer to move my data from the cloud to my personal computer. With fully automated cloud-based end-to-end encrypted backups, of course. Even web apps have good access to local storage now. If I want to share my personal data with someone, I can send it to them.
I’m sure there are a few applications where something more complicated is required. Neither lemmy comments nor biometric data from a “smartwatch” are among them.
One could make it technically somewhat difficult to shut down, but better yet would be to get some timely government intervention, on the side of defending our rights to do such things on the same kind of principle as the well-established doctrine of first sale.
I’m not a lawyer, but I suspect that you may be overestimating the extent to which every piece of bullshit inserted into a TOS document that nobody reads is universally enforceable.
Business idea: Get subscriptions to Disney and ESPN streaming services, then let other people buy access to those accounts for one day at a time. You’d log in for them and give them the session cookie, or something like that. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a country in which that isn’t breaking any laws, although I’m guessing it’s probably not the USA.
What you were trying to say and how it pertains to bicycles was very unclear but I think I deciphered it. But there are lots of Mac users who ride bicycles, I know one or two of them myself.
