Before tablets, parents didn’t survive.

So what are they doing that illegal that other apps aren’t doing?

So what are they doing that illegal that other apps aren’t doing??

I really don’t know how to be any more clear with this question.

I read the article too, and those things you quoted sound to me like things every app does.

Hence my question: what is different here?

There’s not a word in this article about why this breach of privacy matters while others do not. It’s not stated whether this was in the terms of service for the app, and whether those terms were ruled against.

All kinds of apps have been selling personal information for a long time, and it’s been ruled before that it’s allowed if they have the proper legalese in the terms of service. Did this app just not have any terms of service?

Why is it a breach of privacy for this app, but other apps doing the same selling of personal data is not?

You forgot the part where we all return to poverty so the rich can stay rich in the face of climate change.

Easy fix: don’t offer support

More expensive easy fix: contract with a call center in India to do “support” for you.

I bet half of them are Facebook’s Threads.

End thread.

I don’t get why people like the microblig format. It’s so terrible for anything more than snarky quips.

How often do you find yourself writing upside down in space?

The article states that the money has been put up, then it talk a lot about “Historically Black Colleges and Universities” but doesn’t actually state that the money is going to those universities.

In fact, it states that the money is going to the CHIPS program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and then also states that HBCUs have their program called CHIPS.

The article is misleading and a bit confusing and makes it seem like the money is going to HBCUs when in fact it is going to NIST.

How can they know it’s your data without first collecting your data to compare it?

“Give us your personal information so we can ask others to delete your personal information” just doesn’t sound like a trustworthy offer.

Boiled linseed oil is not food safe because it isn’t actually boiled. The chemicals you’re talking about are added to achieve the same change that boiling normally achieves, but it is a cheaper process so corporations lobbied for the right to called chemically treated linseed oil “boiled”, even though it’s objectively false.

It’s a great example of a corporate conspiracy.

Dang I was hoping there was something you could tell me.

Pinetime (or timeline, can’t remember which) might suit you, but I don’t think it’s ready for me. I don’t want another tinker device, I want something that just works, but I also don’t want a corporate spy device. I think I’m outta luck until pinetime is complete.

What replacements are you looking at for the Fitbit?

That costs a ton of money

As if they don’t have it?

Fuckin please. I’m so sick of hearing that something to “too expensive” for a multi billion dollar, multinational corporation.

Most commercials I’d see would be billboards EVERYWHERE in the real world when I lived in Mexico (seriously, Mexican government, please do something about this, it’s beyond bad there) but now here in Canada, it’s mostly pretty quiet and nice.

Unless you’re going through a native rez, then there’s billboards EVERYWHERE because allowing them to put up ads that are illegal for everyone else counts as reconciliation, I guess.

They’ll just make certification so expensive only the wealthy will qualify.

You’ll never hear another perspective again.
