I guess I’m not surprised enshittification of physical objects is becoming more of a trend than an oddity, but it’s still happening sooner than I expected. :/
I lost some, I won some.

You could almost call it… a mouse trap
(I’ll show myself out…)
Per hour? It’s all a blur to me at this point.
Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there’s a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).
StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.
I misread that bit by the QR code as “scam here.” Somehow I think that’s equally accurate.
This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).
We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.
How about when they inevitably share user data with advertisers (assuming that isn’t the plan from the start)?
On top of making sure everyone is housed, healthy, and fed, nuclear fusion energy instead of nuclear fission would be really, really nice.
It doesn’t. Graeber was an anthropologist and Wengrow is an archaeologist. It’s a review of existing evidence from past civilizations (the diversity of which most people are hugely ignorant about), making the case the most common representations of “civilization” and “progress” are severely limited, probably to a detrimental extent since we often can only base our conceptions of what is possible on what we know.
That’s highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem as people in the modern era is many can’t imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.
Yeah that phrasing was especially egregious.
They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there’s a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I’d love to know what I’ve been missing.
If you connect to the wrong tower, can’t they get IMEI info? That won’t include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).
Wait, is she thinking that’s how you welcome a witch or is that how she believes witches welcome people? I couldn’t find an attached article and this is bugging me now…
Yup, just walk away… or answer ‘no’ since smart folks don’t always say ‘yes’
If there is an actual issue to bring up (like shitty manipulative business practices), yes absolutely. But I would rather the group of people mentioned that are apparently just spewing general hatred become better people.
Not one that required a subscription to operate, but I’ve heard those are out there too.
