Yeah, and?

Do you honestly believe there’s a single person on lemmy with enough gravitas to be worth being tracked by the elite?

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

I think the specific is that 40% of adult Americans can’t read at a seventh grade level.

Probably because they stopped teaching etymology in schools, So now many Americans do not know how to break a word down into its subjugate parts.

Depends on how you calculate the average.

If you remove the top and bottom 1% to get a more average median, then most of us most likely do not.

What’s optimistic about telling a multi-million dollar company that if they don’t operate with principles that I agree with that they won’t get my business?

I thought about it for a second, and my mental idea of what a normal person is is like some black and white nuclear family, white dad with slick back hair and a sweater and a pipe in his mouth, and wife wearing a gingham dress, cooking food and cleaning with her hair in an updo.

If that is what normal is, there’s only ever been one family that was actually normal, and they are all dead now.

Yeah, isn’t that what everyone wants?

A website where you talk to people and a robot with no oversight shows up and changes what you say, or silences you, or prevents you from talking to certain people.

At the same time though, I don’t care if billionaires play rock and sock em robots with companies. It just kind of sucks for the people that work at those companies, being tools of a game for rich people to play.

No, I mean by default you are opted out.

Cons wouldn’t use the phrase “single mother working three jobs”.

It’s a level of obvious sarcasm, so obvious that if it weren’t sarcasm, people would rally together to hunt them down like the dogs they are.

This is the kind of shit that happens when you think everybody is stupid except you.

And that’s fine, I’ll just use different browsers until they change their stance.

I am very averse to companies breaking my trust.

Mozilla can win it back by explicitly stating what they are collecting, why they are collecting it, and making opt out the default.

I use readable names.

I’m using one system for testing purposes, so it’s called testingPC.

Any containers are named for the container purposes, like my pihole is named pihole.

My system is so boring that any person were to pick it up after I got hit by a bus would be able to figure out everything.

It’s almost like the legislators are more concerned with swinging their dicks around than with actual safety and best practices.
