I meeeean…. I kinda agree with you, but where exactly do you expect funding to come from? “Focus only on the browser. That they make no money off. Also stop accepting money from Google.”

Like I get it to an extent, it would be nice. But how exactly is “make no money” a viable business plan?

They work with the kremlin?

You’re talking about a collective “they” and the ultimate result of a whole bunch of slippery slope bullshit.

Again, that isn’t at all what it being talked about here. You’re making up a fictitious thing to be mad at.

What is being talked about isn’t telling websites anything. You are fundamentally misunderstanding what the change even did.

Where the hell is this FUD coming from? No one is talking about broadcasting the fake age someone puts into this field. Your strawman doesn’t even make sense.

Our cats are allowed anywhere we allow humans to put their butts. The floor, the bed, the couch, chairs, etc. Tables, counters, and the like are off limits.

Talk to the ai, waste their credits.

Likely nothing illegal. Quite a bit of bad dev habits. Some concerning security fuck ups, including pulling in JavaScript from a server they don’t control. Injecting JavaScript to subvert cookie/gdpr/login/etc popups on third party sites.

Just generally bad things to do, especially in a government provided app.

I assume it’s an hourly wage or something. Just because humans can work for free if they choose, doesn’t mean they have no cost associated with them. Just like a company could choose to give away unlimited tokens, those tokens still have a standard cost.

These tools are notoriously bad at determining what is AI generated. Hell, just look at that spread; anywhere between 0% and 60% depending on the tool you use. How is that at all useful information?

Bilbo Baggins

Ah I see the confusion. That said their name was Bimbo Baggins. Different Baggins completely.

My point was that adding another optional field asking for DOB is just as “scary” as the optional fields asking for real name and location. It doesn’t need them, which was what the other user was alluding to.

ETA: I’m using “scary” but I realize it’s being demonized in a number of ways, such as “evil” or “giving an inch” or “giving into pressure” or “eroding privacy”, etc.

<.< Your answer makes no sense.

So over 40 years before systemd was initially released?

I’m hearing a whole lot of mental gymnastics from both of y’all to explain away the “okay” fields while demonizing the (optional) “evil” fields.

Welcome screen? Systemd doesn’t have a welcome screen. And even if it did, why would it need anything other than username?

Why does it need a field for location and email?

Why would it need to know your real name?

Fair enough, I don’t use driving services so honestly don’t know what the experience is like.

Ubiquiti may not be considered consumer with regards to this, but it’s pretty unclear so it’s a bit of a gamble.

“I know someone who only did a murder once and they locked them right up. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.”

Replace murder with any crime.

If you don’t want to face the consequences, don’t do the action that begets the consequences.

TLDR: don’t fuck around if you don’t wanna find out.
