This is a court case in the US though, but Anna’s isn’t US based, so it’s kind of overstepping boundaries, no? That’s like a McDonald’s manager telling a Starbucks employee not to do something. Also, whether it’s scraped or not, who tf has heard of WorldCat? It’s not like Anna’s profiting off of this like AI companies would.
Maybe some video doorbell or ext cameras? I know how living in a rural area makes it all feel a bit overkill, but might be worth it for situations like this. I buy off brand cameras where I can pop an SD card in it and it’s free. I installed systems for all family when 2020 got with COVID and the riots over George Floyd and whatnot. We’re in Illinois, rural outside Chicago but still affected. We have a lot of crime come out from Chicago too which sucks as people go around through vehicles all over. I’m also a big tech guy so this was simple enough.
People are too trusting to leave cars unlocked, or too stupid saying locking their door adds a broken window to the lost of things to fix when broken into. However, I reiterate insurance claims and police reports don’t look good when stuff is unsecured.
How could a judge demand this? Is there some sort of lawsuit against them currently where a judge could have the power to request this?
I don’t have a Facebook, so I can’t look at his account, but the *69 (or *67?) features still work to make anonymous calls, and he probably googled your wife’s name which may have had a public post or mentioning a daughter’s name, or through friends. It doesn’t take long but going down those rabbit holes is ready, and finding info is easy.
Plenty of free sites or apps let you dig up more on people by name, too. That’ll be a good start… However, since they’re already a problem and have a head start, I suggest you just let it go, keep the police report (did you mention the threat to kill?) and maybe follow up. Document all calls even though anonymous, and maybe check if your carrier can block all unknown calls incoming. Don’t get them more riled up than they already are, and hopefully you have sensible home protection (minimum a gun-that you’re familiar with how to use)
They can afford it after all the price gouging
Honestly, go after any bit of the economy. A “bad economy” is only bad for the wealthy who profit off the system. Wipe out their wealth and they’ll be brought to their knees 🥹
Honestly, as an American, I’d love for Canada to really team up with China and both start to ban use of American products and imports.
Fuck this broken ass system that essentially makes it impossible to work together. Even if we could work together, there’s too much distance/separation to really unite enough. Combine that with all the ability to spread misinformation and don’t and people will just prefer to be sheep and go about their business.
They know this because the elitists keep pushing the boundaries and learn how docile we truly are. Half the country has the ability to unite in force and the other thinks all guns are bad and think quiet protests would get us anywhere. We’re past the occasional protest.
For the sake of not getting a ban, (like reddit would happily have done) This isn’t a call to action or violence. Just pointing out.
Aharr, ye be right!
Well crap my username announces my age, lol.
There, fixed it for you, lol
Thank you, that was a long-but good-read!
I agree on the hoard -bash or bandwagoning where, already, too often on lemmy someone shits on proton because they saw others who pointed out “why it’s bad”, and then they feel the need to also say it’s bad without informed decision making or further explaining (because they can’t).
Like you, and hopefully others, I read through this privacy policy enough to where I felt I could trust the company and it’s services. Unless there is hard evidence to the contrary, I won’t be abandoning the platform.
For anyone else who’ll comment on this, you’re entitled to your opinions, but I won’t be listening to any arguments as to why I’m wrong for liking or supporting Proton.
I guess I don’t care enough or pay enough attention to what CEOs say, nor know the context in which it was said… (Maybe brown nosing to play nice, idk) but I switched to Proton away from Google and Microsoft because it seemed like a good, complete, little ecosystem of apps. The company themselves based out of Switzerland has some of the best privacy laws to back their claims of remaining privacy-first and not sharing or selling user data.
Does it cost? Sure, probably a lot of that has to do with hosting the infrastructure, but I’m willing to pay for, and recommend to regular friends and family who aren’t as paranoid about using “no name” FOSS apps people haven’t heard of. I get the incentive of foss, but others won’t care to understand its benefits no matter how much you tell them, so Proton is a great “big” name company they can trust.
I second Mint.
I used some EoL laptops around our warehouse with Mint installed so people could search stuff they needed, that was mostly web-based, and nobody really complained about anything not working. A few figured it out pretty well, a few said “it looks different” without really understanding what they’re using.
That’s hilarious. Definitely worked with a few like that!
First off, lol, min wage isn’t a Republican problem alone. We’ve had 12 of the last 17 years (since 2008s last set of 7.25) be democratic led, so really, they don’t care just as much as Republicans…
Bro, we’ve already “lost” the healthcare war. Nobody gives a shit, or it’d change. If the politicians weren’t bought by pharma, they’d likely change policies for the better. Get it? Right now laws make it possible to fuck us because they’re in big money’s pockets.
Also, school shootings are a parenting problem. They’re not being locked up, which is how a lot of kids get them in the first place. Policymakers can easily do more to assist in reducing the root cause. But it takes time to tackle. Banning guns flat out isn’t the answer and never has been. Sorry.
But nice try turning it to seem so negative. Like I just want the country to suck more?? Honestly, pretty much anyone else could make improvements/do a better job.
I’m going to go against both grains here:
On the flip side of that coin, I guess I shouldn’t have immediately jumped into this being political, and should really strive to unite both sides bc we all know money buys politics! Aka rich vs everyone else, so it’s a vertical battle, not horizonal!
I don’t care which “side” is which, we need a candidate who’s not bought and paid for!
LMFAO yeah cuz Ford sucks and BYD is bringing the heat across the world (minus the US). Would be nice to get some affordable BEV or hybrids finally
Can I buy one and ship it to the US? Only a small fraction of us actually like Trump. The rest of the numbers are blown up by the media to seem bigger than they are, then another chunk didn’t even vote at all.
I’ve been casually spending weeks deGoogling and deMSFTing my life. I say casually because I’m not rushing to wipe it all out. I’m also not super paranoid about fully self-hosting, I’m using what seems to be a mix of convenience plus privacy.
I deleted all social media a decade ago, I use a generic Google acct for my phone, I use Proton for email (generic as can be info) and a few other services for convenience without feeling like it’s selling/hoarding all my info. I’ve got all family using at least RCS if not Signal.
I also don’t use fingerprint, facial recognition, or any smart speakers with live mics. I have my home network pretty locked down, with most devices segregated that is anything “smart”.
I feel I’ve accomplished quite a bit having done this, but I know there’s so much more I’d like to clear. My biggest downfall is credit cards. Sucked into cash back and perks, but looking to move to prepaid/reloadable debit cards so that I can still buy online as guests with minimal info. I mean, they might have my physical address, but I don’t feel like paying for a PO Box at the moment. “Credit” is such a fucked system. I don’t care if I run my credit closing these accounts, maybe keeping 1 for emergencies. That’ll take time too.
“America!.. FUCK YEAH!”
