Well, at least here in the US it’s because our politicians are openly bribed by Israel.

I think the majority of the time ought to be showing real-world examples of why these things matter.
Stores use your phone’s bluetooth to track your shopping
Smart doorbells will gladly send your footage to police without your permission
Target knew a teenager was pregnant based on shopping habits
Mozilla has a solid breakdown of how your car is spying on you
The goal being to give them something lasting. So next time they interact with this tech they remember what you told them, and maybe start a privacy journey of their own.
Thia feels like the Powerpuff Girls intro, but replace Chemical X with Young Sheldon.
LibreWolf on desktop, IronFox on Mobile.


Most people do not like surprises, especially surprises involving their work and/or money. Even if it may be a ‘good’ surprise, many simply do not like them.
How would a surprise day off work? “Surprise, you commuted into work today for no reason! Go home!”
Most workers desire consistency.


Why leave the app installed if you’re done using it?


I can’t recall specific examples but I’ve definitely heard of folks that use patreon as a subscription thing and have the kofi for one-time donations. I don’t know their financials, obviously, but it seems to me that it works.


You should especially delete a job-hunting account once you’re done with it. It depends on the site, but it likely has all the info off your resume.
The sites themselves have no reason to delete your data, plus they probably want to sell your data and / or feed it to AI.

Lemmy is a platform without an algorithm, the content curation is in your hands.
My feed is shitposts and cute animals, if you don’t like what you see then unsubscribe from those communities.


In my opinion people focus too much on what lemmy could be and are failing to appreciate what it is.
Engaging with the platform as it is will better attract others than going elsewhere and promising things that lemmy might not ever be.
How is your mileage on that? I tried out the stylus last year but found the headphone jack was garbage. Took my earbuds to an electronics shop and found every Moto phone had bad jacks. Every non-Moto jack worked fine. For reference, I would play any sound at low volume and there would be a hissing/static noise in my buds.
My guess is that Google recently devalued the negative reviews from the API fiasco because enough time has passed. The reviews are (probably) still there, but those 1 star ratings are no longer in the “average” shown to users.


DDG scrapes their results from Bing, so you are effectively already using Bing. I had to stop using DDG because it plugs MSN and other Microsoft websites so hard.
Do you intend to include internet/web surfing, or hold back on that until later?
Search engines can be very useful, while also being awful.
But I do think teaching the kiddo how to navigate the website of your local library would be a good lesson for them.
