Except we can barely afford the bread and circuses right now. This is true of people like me that 5 years ago thought they were doing really well…

And in Alabama, when the city of Birmingham banned plastic bags, the state turned around and made a law that banning plastic bags was not allowed 🤦‍♀️

US companies must comply if they serve European customers. Reddit may make you try to prove you are European and deny it.

I believe under the CCPA which is a California law that is also strong and would also require them removing your data. It might apply to them even if you don’t reside in California since that is where they are based.

You could try a GDPR request. They are required to actually delete it permanently from their database and backups.

Of course it is public. But I can be pseudo anonymous. I can have multiple aliases on different instances and I don’t have to register my phone number or other personal information. There’s no trackers tracking every damn thing I look at and correlating it all together. I can use it over Tor or VPN if I need more anonymization…

Even though he is Alabama’s senator, he doesn’t currently, nor did he reside full time in Alabama!

Bicycles! Lower class uses them as transportation, upper class uses them for recreation.

Not just funding cuts, but it was heavily politicized and had its direction changed every 4 years. You can’t plan long term like that. It needs to be a government agency but not at the whim of the president or congress.

Definitely Next Generation. The world could be a nicer place if everyone watched and paid attention to it.

I am happy to hear that people say please and thank you. When Siri/Alexa came out, we taught the kids to always say please and thank you when addressing them. If you can be polite to an AI, then you can be polite to a human.
