A Short Sale position is actually a risk and if people know you’re doing it they will ride you to the bank by buying up as many shares as they can and force you to pay them when your deadline to repay the borrowed shares comes up.

WSB might be the butt of a lot of jokes but they have (in the past at least) analysts and insights that rival top investment firms, not reflecting of the average participants performance. A much more logical decision would be to inflate the price at launch and then when it reaches a critical state ride it (short sell) into the ground as it panic sells into penny stocks.

Yes. If ethical standards don’t exist for an industry then it shouldn’t fucking exist.

TBH even if the costs of humans are high, their supply is nearly infinite. Spending resources on Robots would just be a waste.

Yeah because those are some names everybody associates with ethical responsibility. /s

I think the problem is that it is storing the user faces, at all. If it were simple identifying each person’s characteristics there would be no reason to save that data for later. Also, apparently the company advertises that the machine does transmit this data for estimating age and gender for every purchase.

Librewolf is built on Gecko, people often accredit it as a “firefox fork”.

Tor Browser seems cool, it’s what I use on my phone whenever I have spare time to let it load before searching things which don’t require a lot of bandwidth. I’ll edit the above list.

Mullvad? Is that some kind of slur? I’ve never heard of that but searches say it’s a VPN client. ¯\(ツ)/¯

That sounds nice, I’ll check it out.

So to recap, your choices are

1. One of 70 flavors of Chromium including the “privacy centric” Opera who run Chinese loan shark gangs for some reason, Edge which is Microsoft Chromium and aside from hardware acceleration capabilities is pretty meh, and Brave which despite operating their own separate search engine index are one of the most likely to sell your data and/or kidneys

2. Rapidly Enshitifying Firefox

3. Safari - no comment

4. Whatever the fuck Gecko is…

5. Tor Browser (for people with infinite time to wait for pages to load, or maybe just drug dealers)

Lmao

Pot says the Kettle exagerates.

If it was truly opt in, then why did the community feel the need to create forks removing the telemetry? Plus, a lot of FOSS don’t need telemetry to start with. They get tons of voluntary high quality feedback without automated collection.

And thats fair, you should always do your own research and make your own informed decisions.

They got acquired in 2021 so a lot of people have been very skeptical about it lately.

Were they reverted? I’ll have to check later, but an official statement from Muse Group stated they provided the data they collected to third parties so idk. If the telemetry is still there then I’m not downloading it, Open Source projects generally don’t need telemetry to begin with.

in 2021 Audacity was acquired by a company called MuseGroup who added unnecessary telemetry and they admit that they do provide the data the collect to third parties. It’s spyware as far as I’m concerned.

That’s not entirely true, Audacity was acquired by a company called MuseGroup who added unnecessary telemetry and they admit that they do provide the data the collect to third parties. It’s spyware as far as I’m concerned.

Was it unfair? I haven’t been following since they got bought out by spyware?

EDIT: Audacity was acquired by a company called MuseGroup in 2021 who added unnecessary telemetry and they admit that they do provide the data the collect to third parties. Some claim the changes were reverted but I haven’t confirmed that myself so until I see there is no telemetry it’s spyware as far as I’m concerned.

Is it weird that I’m enamored by technological improvements but mostly disgusted by the “tech world” ?

I had never even heard of bluesky before and also not really interested. Looks like another Twitter replacement, but I never really got into twitter to start with.

I saw the title and I was like “1987 blue sky studios is open to the public? The hell does that mean?”

Technically, it’s not treason unless it helps a country that the US is officially at war with. It’s Sedition and Election Interference by US Legal Definition.

Favorites? You Gen Z are such a disappointment.
