Romantasy exists to solve this problem

They're not asking whether it's literally true.

They're asking why it feels like there's less.

That's a subjective, but still valid question.

Awesome. Although I can't tell whether comments weren't migrated or the original posts just didn't have any.

This is concrete, thanks. I can work with this.

The arguments the article gives are way to broad to fly around a Thanksgiving table.

They might as well have titled it:

"Ways to convince people to take online privacy seriously (who are already on the fence and leaning so hard in your direction that a stiff breeze would do the job for you)"

Or buy this version and then upgrade the storage yourself.

That doesn't address the other two bullet points.

It's like tracking an animal moving in tall grass. You don't need to be able to see the animal directly to tell where it is.

If I can't disappear completely, there's enough data points around me that a useful silhouette can be reconstructed from all the surrounding data.

What's the point?

Loving-kindness meditation is a practice that encourages you to extend compassion to yourself and then train it like a muscle to be extended further and further out.

Patriotism is love at the national level, but it doesn't ask you to stop at the border (that's nationalism).

People should be encouraged to love at the level they can sustain: self > friends & family > community > region > country (patriotism is here) > neighboring countries, etc > world.

"They've already got my data"

From our site: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/gotmydata.html

The main retort to this is

"No they don't - they need to continually replenish their profile on you for it to be useful. If you cut off the supply now, then their power fades." That's why their data harvesting is so aggressive. It needs to be, otherwise their promise to advertisers of being able to predict what you'll want, and when you'll want it, cannot be fulfilled.

You just need to step off the playing field and their game comes grinding to a halt!

I already "get it" and I don't find this argument too convincing.

If you're 25 years old and cut them off, they still have :

• your data from the last 24 years
• the data of everyone in your demographic
• the data of your family, friends, and coworkers

(Yes, I get that it's different if everyone cuts off data harvesting at the same time, but this is about convincing one person.)

Turns into a flying object

Alt text is like putting Braille next to a sign; it's a tool for the blind (who use screen readers to access alt text).

It's also a backup when the image fails to load, but it's not a substitute for making sure the image is legible for people who can see.

If you add a transcription in the body of the post, that should cover your remaining bases.

Can you carry over the posts and comments to the new community?

If the community has to start over from zero, that can be a huge loss.

Good(?) news: they confirmed that they're partnering with a different OEM ever since Google's shenanigans with AOSP.
