The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.

Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.

I clear them a reasonable amount away from my house, because they may not be litter but they are a fire hazard where I live. But they still get to naturally decompose in dedicated spots.

Can you elaborate on your request? What feature is it lacking that other browsers deliver on?

Cool story bro. I once ate pineapple while watching a Golden Girls rerun.

Height selection on metric side has jumps of up to 3 centimeters lmao.

Too lazy to look, but given 1 inch = 2.54 cm, my guess is the tool is written in inches, and just rounds those values to the nearest whole cm, thus alternating between 2 & 3 cm increments.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

You do you, but I will say uBO can block all of those things, it just doesn’t do it all out of the box.

You have to subscribe to the right blocklists, or manually remove elements you don’t want from sites you visit frequently.

ABP offers you the convenience of not having to manually tinker with everything, which is what money is supposed to be used for - convenience.

It’s a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won’t let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you’re trying to reach.

Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other’s room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don’t have their room number.

As long as one of you knows the other’s room number though, you can meet.

Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).

It looks like you’re missing the “Manage shared info” section and “Personalized Shopping” link, which yields the above toggle for me (CA, US)…

The question is, is it gone because your privacy laws make it impossible to even offer, or because your privacy laws don’t require them to care about your opinion at all?

The elephant is the only animal with 4 knees.

Just Google “how to increase my fire risk to save $2 on a new LED”. Should be a how to guide or two out there.

Both true statements. The banking apps that don’t work aren’t because google wallet doesn’t work, but because they use the same trust policies that Wallet requires in order to run (which GrapheneOS cannot meet because its not a “trusted” OS, per Google)

<end of list>

Some banking apps allegedly don’t work but i have never encountered one. If your bank has a mobile accessible website, it’s basically a non-issue.

Someone within 350 feet of this open WiFi network I hacked onto is low on rinse aid

Oh no, my privacy is ruined!

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

That’s all his financiers hear.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

That’s all his voters hear.

Everything else goes in one ear and out the other, muddied up with enough “whataboutism” and “both sides” rhetoric from the financiers to keep the voters from actually considering alternative options.

This is fantastic! Now I know exactly which manufacturer to avoid at all costs, AND they’ve made it harder for their competition to use this shitty system. Dear Ford, please keep patenting bad ideas.

With at-will employment, it could be grounds for termination in many instances if you refuse

Not necessarily, they’ll get some OS updates after google pulls the plug, but they’ll stop getting firmware and other hardware-specific updates.

Per GrapheneOS:

Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.
