Don’t discount the economic loss they experience from not being able to harvest and sell your data (even possible in the EU, though harder of course)

originalfrozenbanana, to asklemmy in So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?

I paid for my entire family to go to see the Grand Canyon for Christmas. 11 of us in total, rented a big house and a van and we were going to drive all together for fifteen hours. Fly down early to spend time with my mom and she gave me Covid. She has been sick for a couple weeks and didn’t take a test.

She is a nurse.

If they’re not arguing in good faith my advice is don’t argue. Don’t roll around with pigs - you just get covered in shit and the pigs like it.

That’s a choice they can make for themselves, not a choice tech companies and governments should make for everyone. If they want to trade their privacy, and I don’t - fine. All I want is the power to choose and know that choice will be respected.

originalfrozenbanana, to asklemmy in Tips on making your data less sellable?

Unfortunately it’s not just not posting on Facebook. Facebook uses tracking pixels and those little like and share buttons on sites to track you outside of Facebook domains (that’s why porn videos have them. No one is sharing porn on Facebook and Meta doesn’t expect them to; they just buy the tracking). As much as possible separate your devices and networks from any device that accesses Facebook, and disable cookies and trackers using an ad blocker and privacy-respecting browser all over. You’d be amazed at how adept Facebook and others are at linking you across devices and networks.

Sorry I was thinking of the Libby phone app, for some reason. Thanks for the correction!

originalfrozenbanana, (edited ) to asklemmy in What are the best e-readers on the market?

Kobo is compatible with Overdrive and Kindle, and they have their own store if you want that too. I love the screen and the battery lasts about four hundred years per charge. Way better than giving money to a monopoly

originalfrozenbanana, to baldurs_gate_3 in Trying to get into Act 2

Nah stick with it. Back up and explore a bit more to find alternative routes. It gets great but the atmosphere is EXTREMELY different than act 1

originalfrozenbanana, to asklemmy in So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?

Few people in history are responsible for as much suffering as Kissinger.

originalfrozenbanana, to asklemmy in So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?

His influence was largely because his geopolitical philosophy of Realpolitik was “effective” in that it ruthlessly pursued power over all else. For a series of presidents seeking hegemonic control that is valuable in and of itself.
