Is your mobile phone number in the phone book? Mine isn't. I guess you could use a landline number to prevent giving out information that isn't publicly available, but I'd wager most people using these sites these days use their mobile phones. Also even my landline isn't listed in the phone book.

Yeah, probably, but I've noticed lots of sites use security as an excuse to get your phone number. For my work account Google forced me to enable 2FA for security reasons, but wouldn't allow the authenticator, only my phone number, until they had it. Then I was allowed to switch to the authenticator. That was not a setting my employer could change, either, they tried for half an hour.

Phone numbers are used to congregate the your data that's collected on different sites to one profile. I'm pretty sure that is the main reason Google and others are pushing you so hard to give it up.

One way would be sponsorships. Depending on your target audience you could sponsor your local sports team, twitch or YouTube content creators. You could also donate your product in the hopes that it gets picked up by local papers or generates strong word of mouth.

For me it's one of the main cast of Samurai Champloo. Afaik it's Japanese and means infinite.

I think the internet as we know it is dead, and tbh I don’t even blame big corporations for this. I blame mass tech illiteracy, and people’s willingness to sacrifice their privacy for some dopamine hits.

So, you're blaming the victims? Not the billion dollar corporations, leveraging their immense power and wealth to drain as much value out everything they touch just to discard what remains the second it's not creating enough money for them? Instead you blame the tech illiterate, that never had a chance? The poor and exploited, caught in the hamster wheel of capitalism barely able to plan until the next pay check?

Thanks very much for the detailed explanation! I guessed it had to be something like that, but I didn't know 911 would have access to that and was surprised by the accuracy. I guess they might have heard them in the apartment, that's why they were able to pin it down so quickly.

"officers were promptly dispatched to the location traced through the ping of the females cell phone"

What?

Well, you convinced me!

That looks promising!

Probably because there is less content

That's so fucking accurate! I'm in tears. JP impressions always crack me up, even if they are bad, but these dudes are spot on!

Same, using Firefox with DGG as default search engine

I thought the content will still be available on the other instances that were federated before the instance went down.

Dali approved

Crazy stuff!

I guess you could call that cancel culture. It's just not what they mean by that.

Not necessarily, it is likely that a tourist is just not used to these specific pathogens. While the people living there are used to them. So their immune system isn't better per se just more adapted to the environment.

Hard to prove wrong

Do you use Firefox on mobile as well? I use the DDG browser and don't whether I should switch. Haven't heard what exactly is wrong with it, yet.
