It’s a tradeoff, as you say. Use the platforms and services you are comfortable with. Sacrifice privacy/security for convenience where you must. Your needs; your choice. It’s really individual.

Consider running both untrusted and trusted applications concurrently, where the untrusted one cound run in a sandbox, for peace of mind. Drop it once you feel you don’t need it any more.

Self-censor in forums you don’t feel safe in.

Consider hanging out more in places with less surveilance, if you are not comfortable.

It’s kind of a question of reducing your foot print, not completely eliminating it. Unless you wanna be a hermit.

I had to think for a while.

Those luxury watches got to have huge margins. I imagine watch makers can probably eat the tariff and sell at the same consumer price in the US.

USA is emulating Russia and will be just as dysfunctional. China is at least producing results.

They should name this israeli colonel.

People are aiming to have kids at like 35 these days. This is the cutoff point, where pregnancy complications start getting more likely. Gotta get your life in order and get some stability. That may have been easier in the past.

If you choose Arch, you can say “I use Arch btw”, from time to time, in unrelated conversations. That is a plus and should be considered.

But doesn’t muslims also consider arabic to be the holy language and therefore the correct way and only way to refer to allah?

Cause now they could generate the missing part with easy to use ai tools. Or what?

wait… Trump is gonna post a tweet showing Obama sneaking in there during the missing minutes?

So an unskilled operator is going to blow up the wrong student.

Last time i checked; you need to look at commercial displays or computer monitors. But they are more expensive than consumer smart TVs.

Genocide is evil. Hopefully we will see future trials for the people helping the machine along. Similar to how germany have been puting people on trial up until modern times. “following orders” is not a defense.

Today it’s all about finding a dumb display.

Then you won’t have to go outside.

Not sure how golf works. Don’t you play by yourself? He cheats himself? If it’s about braging; can’t he just say he did a hole in one, every stroke?

Neat!

If Gary has any shred of charisma, people will respect his opinions and listen to his words. That applies to young individuals too.

When I was around 13, there was this teacher guy that all the kids respected. He was fun and could be scary stern when the situation demanded it. Kids really liked him and listened to him. He was not rich, his teeth was somewhat discolored cause of tobaco use and I would call him a Gary type character, with an unremarkable life style. But he had charisma and a commanding presence.

I suspect that if anyone parrots tates teachings in proximity to that teacher, they woul become the laughing stock of the class for a week. And they would be ashamed of themselves and remember that for the rest of their lives.

He was a good and competent teacher too.

“However unlikely”

I would assume that it is routine. Regardless of what any exec say.

Sounds interesting!

Can’t wait for an EU alternative to Visa/Mastercard. Heard Wero is supposed to be that. Europe can’t decouple from US garbage fast enough.
