The Canadian Human Rights Act protects Canadians from discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, disability etc.

There is no indication that the vending machine was collecting customer biometrics. In fact that would prevent it from being GDPR compliant.

It's because I understand the technology and the actual threats to our privacy.

You obviously don't work in tech in Canada. Do a tiny bit of some research before generating strong opinions

Likely for general marketing feedback so not targeting individuals like Facebook, Google, etc. If the vending machine is GDPR compliant then it's not storing individuals PII on the machine (it would be physically insecure) or transmitting PII without consent. And anyway, the marketing team wouldn't care about individuals, they're looking for aggregate trends. I think we should have stricter anti-marketing laws but this is not a dangerous anti-privacy vector. Online marketing is far far worse so if we're concerned with privacy, let's implement laws and policies that protect privacy instead of these BS distractions that don't actually affect people's privacy.

This seems like an over reaction by people who don't understand the technology or associated risks. Focus on the implementation not the tech. There is no indication that the vending machine is inappropriatly storing or transmitting personally identifiable information or that its making decisions based on biased data.

The long troll game with my short troll game

This is great, I have a NAS and I still get slow data corruption for my long term data even using bit-rot resilient file systems. I would like a way to back up 5Tb of photos and videos on a single disc to bury somewhere for long term (decades) storage.

It'll be end to end encrypted. As far as I'm aware, beeper needs access to messages send cross platform

Can you move to a place where the earning to spending ratio is more in your favor? Somewhere with cheaper living expenses or higher pay?

What is this? I don't speak German so Google wasn't really useful

Don't follow someone else's path. I took a year off to travel in my 20s, a year off to sail in my 30s, and now that I'm 40 I'm planning another year long adventure in the next 5 years. I wasn't born into wealth, I spent less than I earned, invested the rest, and avoided debt. Don't get a big house in the suburbs with a mortgage, new lease car every 4 years, student loans, etc unless that's what your actually want. Set yourself up for success with smart money management so you can do what you want.

To be fair, destroying the planet and foresaking future generations is easier than admitting you were wrong.

Modding is a time consuming and often thankless job, this doesn't sound like power tripping.

Take these numbers with a grain of salt. The real number of troops sent will be unknown because they're all wearing camouflage.

Free tier cloud services like AWS, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Azure. I use free tier VMs to host random services like VPNs, Mastodon instance, etc.

Tailscale has a free tier to connect your devices, VMs, and home servers.

GitHub pages is great for hosting any simple website for free.

The statement "the ocean contains enough water to fill a bucket" doesn't mean the ocean only contains a single bucket of water. "The ocean contains enough water to fill one bucket" might imply that the ocean only contains one bucket of water but OP doesn't specify a number. This is an interesting conversation on ambiguous semantics in English.

Late stage pregnant woman have a higher amount of human bones

Even if you count the fetus as a human, the fetuses bones are still inside the pregnant woman. So there are still more than one skeleton on average inside humans.
