Piped wasn’t working earlier.

Working fine on librewolf so far.

I switched from FF to librewolf. Less convenient, more privacy, no pesky G**gle partnerships, afaict.

Something not wasting it on endless ads.

And our own bandwidth, too. Google isn’t paying my Internet bill. Hope the rest of my content creators switch soon, otherwise I’ll miss them.

No worries, and that actually makes sense, now that you mention it. Thank you for your reply.

There’s no reason to support it if you are worth that much.

About 70 years.

This may have something to do with it. One hand washing the other, as the saying goes.

But I also have doubts if this is the right move

Can you share those and the reasoning, please?

The reason I didn’t agree with that is because desperate people do desperate things, despite how clear and concise information available is. With every person had guaranteed, decent housing, food, comprehensive medical, decent clothing and other needs met, I may reconsider.

I think we’re in agreement. I could have said “technologically necessary” to have been more clear, but I don’t agree sale or sharing should be by consent. I think it should be illegal, full stop.

Australia is, and France is their ally.

That was a lot of work, thank you for taking the time.

The fears, however reasonable you may find them, are largely that it presents a danger of foreign information gathering of detailed behavioral/location/interest/social network information on a huge swath of the U.S. population which can be used either for intelligence purposes or targeted influence/psyops campaigns within the U.S.

Tbh, I’m troubled by my own government doing that to us.

How about making data collection other than necessary to operate a website illegal, then making the sale of that data illegal, and absolutely require a warrant to collect it, including from FISA court?

I guessed so. Thanks.

Where did you find this?

I doubt it’s denting the bottom* line as much as the recent court rulings. And I doubt it’s as much paying bills as it is paying vested interests.

I’m a little curious why no one ever tried to talk to him. 🤷‍♀️
