Let's follow your train of thought here.

Everyone makes the "smart" choice of looking into their career, and determine it based on the pay scale.

  1. Now we have a dearth of people doing the jobs with low pay, but still crucial to our society.

  2. Do you think there exists a demand for everyone to enter into the higher paying work force?

The other candidate will also support the Gaza genocide. Again, it's unfortunate that both candidates are evil. And supporting the lesser evil is a bad long term strategy.

But, here we are.

The Gaza genocide did not start on Oct 7, much like the Russian incursion on Unkraine did not start in Jan 2022. Both of those are tremendous blights on human rights and should be equally condemned.

Of course, voting for Biden is the only stable option as much as one may lament that it shouldn't be.

Spanish & Italian food is better for the most part imo.

Obviously Xenophobia isn't excusable.

Ehh, that's ok. Slide out keyboards aside, having an on-display keyboard is a better idea by and large.

Some context regarding this meme. The police officer is a war veteran, who probably has massive PTSD and reacted accordingly.

Now why the hell would the police service hire a guy who is clearly unfit for service is a major American moment.

That's like saying people shouldn't have developed a vaccine for Covid, only because Covid will adapt to the vaccines at some point.

What do you want artists to do? Accept that all their future work is also used without any compensation?

Anecdotal evidence, but I swapped out Google for DDG about 5-6 years back and haven't missed it. I do use Google sometimes but it's once in 4-5 months when DDG fails me, which is acceptable to me.

Hey folks,

This is a more general question for me to better understand the Fediverse.

If one of the popular instances decide to monetise the user data, are there any legal frameworks to stop that?

Nope, that would be horrible.

One of the biggest draws of YouTube is that anyone can go and upload their stuff. We literally have youtubers who started out in their rooms with a webcam, and became big because of the quality of their stuff. This would put a barrier of entry for new youtubers to enter.

I mean, a rapist actually became the President, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not privacy but exclusivity of data collection to apple

Actually, the whole Privacy part is one of the biggest gimmicks Apple has ever pulled.

Sure, it doesn't allow Meta and Google to not allow data collection, but research indicates Apple continues to collect the same amount of data. In the long run, I'm sure that Apple would also use this data to serve ads in their own way, just that they'll call it "iAds", and fanboys would cream their pants
