I mean I would because I’m definitely not afraid of anyone posting on Lemmy lol, but that’s rather beside the point since this isn’t how data collection works
I support the improvements in advertising, UX, and design innovation that data collection yields, and I reject utterly that it is an “invasion of privacy” with the same enthusiasm as I reject “keeping your money in banks is for suckers” and “the government tracks you through your phone”
Fears of data collection are conspiracy-driven and not grounded in reality. No one is upset about Nielsen “harvesting” TV data, as an obvious example.
Nielsen never actually knew what you were watching though. They had to take your word for it. The comparison would be if Nielsen had trackers on your eyes and cameras and microphones in your house. I do agree most concerns about data collection are overblown, but that doesn’t mean opening yourself up to any and all data collection is wise. And to act like there’s never an issue of companies taking your data for ill is laughably naïve IMO. If nothing else, unnecessarily sharing personal data exposes you as a larger target for things like identify theft.
I’m a security professional too and you’re just yelling against an idealogy. These people want to be angry at big tech, they don’t understand the privacy concerns at all. Most of them still talk about Alexa spying on you.
If you listen to princes of the universe by queen backwards it says “did you really just do that, wow you’re so gullible” and quite frankly this has made it my favourite track to listen to.
Water written backwards spells retaw. If you adjust it a little it says retard. Are you gonna take being called a retard by water? Ban water today and stop the insults!
I was late for a flight once (in Canada) and they put a sticker on my luggage that said Retard. Just means late in French. You better believe I kept that sticker.
There are some consistencies in letter patterns, just not in individual letters. For example, no word that starts with go-, ga-, or gu- pronounces the g like a j (except for the archaic gaol, and there’s a reason the spelling was changed to jail). It’s mainly limited to ge- and gi- words.
Inconsistencies with the other options are probably due either to how the term came into English (English is practically built on loanwords) or some other subsequent pattern of letters I’m too lazy to try to identify.
Small tech can be much nastier as they have less scrutiny on them. Think of all these companies writing spyware for governments/corporations around the world.
I don’t trust them but they are a necessary evil for some tasks. like messaging apps, what use is Signal or other secure/foss messaging app if the people you need to communicate with uses meta products. so it is necessary for me to use meta products in order to facilitate communication with some group of people.
Operating system our company only uses windows and provide a laptop with windows as an OS. now why would I go to trouble myself in reformatting this laptop to unstall other OS when it isn’t even mine and would get me into trouble, not to mention break compatibility with my worke ecosystem. so, i use windows.
