Ah I see. You have any interests? As you mentioned, hobbies are always a good place to start, even if they're not strictly "social". If anything it gives you something to talk about, and maybe find some common ground with the people you meet.

Oh I wish that were true but unless GRC or Legal get involved nothing much comes of it lol

It does if you consider it from the point of view of a. Someone went out of their way to design this API so as to allow this or b. A team of individuals deployed it without realizing how it would be exploited

You can generally learn things from a breach, but finding and remediating systemic issues like those mentioned above is a big ask

Edit: I either responded to the wrong comment or misunderstood what you said. It's late in the day...

Germs.

I'm finding myself barely scraping by these days.

What do you mean by this? Just about all of my hobbies are solo ventures, but I have heard many good things about meetups and user groups

I can say for certain that wfh has had a marked impact on my real world social interactions, but that's not entirely a bad thing. What it means is that any conversation I have with someone is sparked by genuine interest rather than obligation after having bumped into them at the water cooler.

Last distro I installed for personal use was Ubuntu and it was lousy with these types of popups (note: this was about 10 years ago)

Edit: It's really bizarre to me that nobody remembers how intrusive and persistent Ubuntu One was (decom'd 2014), though in fairness it's not precisely what OP is experiencing with regards to Bing/Chrome

The gutsier the giver, the better the liver

Commenting to follow any suggestions that pop up here. iCloud is such a mess for syncing and backing up photos and video.

I make sure my mic is keyed for these occasions

Parallel thinking, glad to know I'm not alone!

Opener? I barely knew her!

This is the end of an era, and I'm honestly kinda bummed. I'm still sour about Geocities being decom'd, but I'm just a grumpy old man.

I have this idea for a consolidated ISP, cable television, home security, and telephone landline company. Gotta have the landline.

Shit I don't even have to use Windows but let me know where to sign up

Scrotum? Damn near killed 'im!

They also do not talk

I'm trying to reframe this in a way that will help me and others better understand; are the measures being proposed in this bill analogous to forcing auto manufacturers to build a car that won't let you drive down certain streets?

Almost makes up for YouTube Shorts
