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 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.
Something seems very amiss with this.
Maybe if I have some pennies to spare, I will donate. I’m just not an Amazon fan. I haven’t given them money in a several years.
Exchange students, work travel, newly moved, not a native English speaker. Doesn’t matter.
I’d prefer we not give Amazon money. I’m asking if there’s a better place, for either?
The YT channel. Apologies, I know people aren’t psychic.
Can we promote our products somewhere besides Amazon? One more friendly to regular producers?
My point is, it doesn’t do much, if anything.
I knew a dev once that absolutely refused to use banks. I’m a populated California city. With security cameras all over outside, everywhere. Buried cash in Mason jars. We lost touch but I always wondered how that worked out.
When did Google start verifying security on play?
I don’t know, it was a very long time ago. Maybe do a search, based on your interests?
Autocorrect begs to differ, usually only when the word is out of my field of vision.
I took typing, on typewriters, but got efficient years later on IRC and ICQ. 60+more wpm. I’m still fairly proficient on a familiar KB too.
Pacemakers?
I can’t tell you anything you haven’t already heard. Buy the most healthy food you can afford, walk a little bit each day. I lost about 20 pounds in a month simply by switching from sweetened beverages to water, but that’s also because I drank sugar all day.
Oh jeez, so sorry! Do you have any working diagnoses where you can search up anything? Regular osteoarthritis is helped by actually using the joints, so they produce more synovial fluids, but I didn’t know if it can help your condition.
In a sane nation, universal health would be a no brainer.
It’s not great for the kidneys either, but I’m not sure the meds are great, either. Probably the best way is the slowest and requires more willpower: cut out refined sugars (that includes in breads, mayo and other stuff), switch from refined grains to whole, watch seed oils, increase Omega 3s, regular exercise, good sleep habits, etc. These things can be incorporated incrementally, but the sooner the better. Also meditation and therapy, the latter being cost prohibitive, for many.
Australia is, and France is their ally.
