  • I'm split on this. On one hand, I don't want to be tracked, but know I am anyways. On the other hand, bringing awareness to these problems is important.

    One reason companies get away with horrible invasions or privacy is they limit those privileged to access it. Opening up a system to show how invasive it is could be a good thing. Big tech has become the juggernaut it is by operating in the shadows as much as possible.

  • The last bid I reviewed for a new office recommended Brother printers (woot) but the color laser had toner lock-in. I recommended an alternative and the owner agreed.

    Too bad these companies won't know about the products they don't sell because of this crap.

  • Uh oh. My data archive project just took a jump up in priority. I have some of these drives I think.

  • How well is he playing his own hand?

    He thought Ukraine started the war so he ain't even looking at his cards. Just reaching into his diaper hoping for an Ace, but grabbing fistfuls of his own sloppy policies.

  • Interesting. I suppose it being an executive order does keep it to the executive branch. It's late over here and the brain hurts.

    Too bad there isn't a law that requires the legislative brance to exercise powers of checks and balances. Maybe that's something to note for America 2.0.

  • Whatcha gonna do, judge? Ask again? Wait until deadlines pass? Delay has always been Trumpy Dumpty's strategy to maximize harm. No conquences means nothing to lose.

    But instead of poking a dictator who doesn't GAF, how about holding congress Republicans accountable since, you know, they "control" finances. You start dragging them out in cuffs, I betcha it will get someone's attention, fast!

  • Every federal service facing cuts and mass layoffs should do this to raise awareness.

  • Ahh, this old chestnut again. Do we learn nothing from history?

    Text for smartmaking

    Line up scapegoats. We all know the drill by now.

  • I thought this pope was generally regarded as nice, replacing the last post which was evil incarnate.

    Even Catholics thought he was too progressive in some areas.

  • Nooooo! She was awesome and I loved those episodes she graced.

    She will be greatly missed.

  • You forget, this would be another opportunity for the judicial branch to bypass Congress and "write" law, and they love that power.

    Yes, I know the rules too. No, they consider themselves above the law.

    Congress has too many cooks to change the Constitution properly, and likely wouldn't pass. An executive order and crooked judgement may be testing the waters to for future dictatorship.

  • Any denial needs to be backed with a Dr's name and medical license.

    Something dumb can be challenged and put on record.

    Also, inappropriately denied use of medical benefits should be theft with damages of 3x.

  • Can we, maybe, impeach him now?

    Pretty please with a cherry on top.

  • It's really bizarre watching rats jump onto a sinking ship.

    I didn't see the /s

  • I would say synthesis in this example is the creation of a molecular compound from differing source materials while refinement is the isolation and concentration of an existing compound.

  • Seen these. Pretty creepy but some folks don't mind.

    But you said Amazon has access to my fingerprints? Got proof?
