Just an aside, but it may help others who have this issue to share the solution that worked for you

Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it’s supposed to.

Encapsulated in that “etc.” in my first response is “going out of business”. This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.

It doesn’t matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.

Lastly, I just don’t like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don’t want to support.

I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the “vote with your money” method isn’t anything to ridicule.

Easier to get a job if you have a job. Probably should use the earnings to see a therapist to deal with the job application anxiety.

Bold of you to assume my email app has push notifications

Originally governments wanted backdoors into encryption protocols, but now they seem to want client side scanning (i.e. scanning messages on your phone before it’s encrypted and sent out)

Nope, no way to do this. It’s not implemented yet. What you could use instead is the app called Shelter to create and manage a work profile. It’s less separated than another Graphene profile, but is much more convenient

Although I agree with you, I don’t think that’s what OP was asking about based on this part:

I’m just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they’d have all account information?

It seems they are asking if an separate email account for each service would be beneficial. My opinion is it would limit the attack if an email account was hacked, but definitely not worth the hassle. Email aliasing (like the comment above me says) gives you some of the benefits without needing to juggle multiple accounts.

Or even “He has been…”

From another tall guy, how was it? Obviously not worth the price, but is it absolutely not worth the price or just very not worth the price?

Canada is debatably worse than the US when it comes to tipping. In the US, wait staff are paid less than minimum wage so it makes sense to tip them (even though the system should change), but in Canada they is no such exception and the minimum prompt is 18%.

Also, the other day Subway prompted me to tip…

I mean, anyone with enough artistic talent can draw whatever they would like right now. With AI image generation, it essentially just gives everyone the ability to draw whatever they want. You can try to fight the tech all you want, but it’s a losing battle.

When that becomes widespread, photos will be generateable for literally everyone, not just minors but every person with photos online. It will be a societal shift; images will be assumed to be AI generated, making any guilt or shame about a nude photo existing obselete.

Crazy idea: pay them both more so the public doesn’t have to

Maybe make use of the “/s”?

Bad time for a typo. Can’t*

Nope, you can backup the chats and import them when installing Signal on the new device

For those who are dumb like I am, the fine is one hundred thousand per day and not one hundred per day (the decimal threw me off)

Not commenting on the content, but you should not dismiss an argument because it contains a slippery slope. A slippery slope fallacy is an informal fallacy, meaning it’s existence does not inherently mean an argument is flawed.
