Some people downvote because others care about downvotes

Just spitballing here.

As you said, right now, you only pay taxes on profits at the time stocks are sold. Which means I could gather billions in "wealth" and never cash in, thus never pay a single dollar in taxes.

Suppose we would change how taxes are paid on stock profits. What if you had to pay taxes on yearly profits every year? This way, you can cash out at any time, because the tax is already paid. It would work just like regular income tax. Deductions and losses on the market would still apply.

Don't forget that chrome is also censoring saved bookmarks and purging bookmarks to URLs that are on their naughty list - right now that's mostly piracy related things, but the precedence is set.

Your comment is a prime example of FUD.

For context, see https://lemmy.one/comment/2495139

TL;DR: Google is moderating public facing lists of links. Compare it to Lemmy moderators deleting illegal content in their communities.

You can still hate Google all you want, but please, don't just read the headlines.

Their browser says incognito mode offers protections that their website then runs roughshod over.

incognito mode warnings

That's the point of my comment. I won't say "don't sue Google", I'll say "sue Google, but actually read what it says when you open an incognito window". Offers protections against other people who use this device. And that's it.

Am I reading this right? As far as I can see, the complaint seems to be that Google would be "tracking" people even if they browse in any browser's incognito mode.

Of course they do. If I open a private window in Firefox, and then login to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, or any other website, these websites can try to track me. How would any browser control what happens or doesn't happen on the server side of things?

These plaintiffs would be better off sueing the companies of these websites for ignoring privacy laws and continuing to add tracking scripts to their sites.

Yes, there are browsers that try to send as little personal information as possible, like the Tor Browser, but even that one can't disable a Facebook server's internal logging data - how could it? All modern browsers make it quite clear what their respective incognito mode does - and what it doesn't do.

Ich wundere mich wirklich über dieses Zitat aus dem ~~Artikel~~ Bilderbuch

„Die Sonne hat etwas geblendet, [...]“

Das heißt, wenn die Sonne etwas blendet, brettere ich munter weiter ins Ungewisse?

Habe ich das richtig gehört, dass die Controller per Bluetooth mit dem U-Boot verbunden sind?! Ja, es scheint Ersatz zu geben, aber wenn ich überlege, wie oft hier die Batterie eines Gerätes einfach mal schwach macht, oder die Verbindung abbricht, oder die Verbindung gar nicht erst hergestellt werden kann...
