Arguably the location data has several purposes, and needs to be collected but shouldn't have been available for sale. It's bad enough you can't keep law enforcement out of it but even worse when random businesses get the information.
That said, in this day and age, it should be a no brainier that your phone is a tracking device for multiple organizations and we should all keep that in mind
Genius and insanity are close bedfellows.
The 90s Super Mario Brothers movie walked so this one could run. Because that's a really low bar to set.
I will never forget how the entire republican primary consisted of all of them basically forecasting the future under him while he's just sitting there being a dumb, smug fuckface shit talking all of them, Christie included then turned around and kissed his ass thankfully, gluttonously, with absolute enthusiasm for 4 years. Christie included.
What an appalling shit show.
This guy would be three steps ahead of the PR. Dude publicly mocked a guy in a wheelchair who also happened to have a 100 million dollar clause if he was fired, which he was, publicly, on Twitter while having his HIPAA information released by his CEO because he thought he was malingering.
What PR firm could get ahead of that ONE day, let alone so many others of that level of holy shit? Not one that wants to stay profitable since he's supposedly stiffing other companies they do business with.
I don't even think that actually touches on the point here. People want purpose, meaningful purpose out of the thing they spend most of their lives on. Unionizing isn't going to give you job satisfaction if you're a data entry operator unless that's something you find fulfilling.
I work in IT and used to be passionate about computers and the internet but now I want to do something else and get away from the grind of IT work, where nothing is ever completed or provides a sense of accomplishment. There's no meaningful purpose in it for my life other than a paycheck.
Unionizing might help with getting better pay for work but in terms of actual purpose, fulfillment and job satisfaction unions are as useful as advocating for a car club when I'm changing my oil. Completely unnecessary and unrelated and doesn't address the goal at hand.
This is something that's an individual pursuit beyond days off and pay.
Isn't that kind of the point? You don't get very far hiding in a social setting. You're on a public website talking to other people. Your posts should be public, comments, etc. At least people should treat all websites or apps they didn't develop personally like they're public. I mean you don't really have a right to privacy in public.
And I'm not trying to say this with some malicious tone or anything but it's just my view on it.
Yeah. One ethnic group is responsible for all the bad things. I wish people like you stayed on Reddit.
The internet is almost unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago.
Honestly, it's really hard to say what will happen. I do think there's gonna be an exodus from reddit, however it's hard to say where people will go after that. kbin has been coming up in discussions about reddit alternatives, but same with some of the other federated setups. I've been searching for the past week for something that looks/feels like reddit and this is the closest thing so far. I will say, hopefully since it's going down on a Friday, there might be a lull until Monday before people really start coming in.
RIF was part of my life for a decade. It's crazy how emotional this experience has been. It feels like losing a home, a community, everything because some fuckface won't find a compromise.
The old Facebook app was the first one to convince my phone listens in on my conversations. I haven't touched anything Facebook since 2013.
