  It would be par for the course if they just ignored the settings changes when it comes to training their AI on your data, and you’re just turning off your access to the AI features instead.

  Thanks for making it easy, friend. It takes a lot of clicking to turn this stuff off lol.

  Why the fuck would a McDonald’s app care?

  Apparently 96% of elementary school children now have laptops they take home from school? I’m glad I grew up in an era when we all had our own computers not owned by the government. 😂 It seems like absolute hell to be a kid these days. Constantly monitored and tracked by adults who want you to remain pure and innocent forever, not allowed to grow or explore anything on your own. And they wonder why kids aren’t independent and don’t want to learn anything.

  I’ve been using Linux exclusively for more than ten years. You’ve made the right choice. As if you needed anyone to tell you 😆

  This shit happens to me all the time. Sometimes I’m inappropriate situations, and people think I’m laughing my ass off at them.

  I agree, you’re right. I’m kind of sick of this firehose of bullshit raining down from on high. Freedom is dying in so many different contexts all at the same time.

  Time to switch back to text-only browsers.

  I don’t live in Germany though, so I don’t have to worry about this legislation or do anything about it 😂

  It’s a case of mutually assured destruction: to charge someone with impersonation, they would have to admit that they saved data that was supposed to be only for age verification and then deleted.
