I worked in a restaurant and someone called the health department on us. He stepped in the walk-in for about 2 minutes, looked at the make line, said "Nothing seems rotten to me" and left.
It stemmed from a lady claiming she got food poisoning from our food, but the timing was pretty fast, and half the ingredients were fully cooked upon delivery stuff anyway that just got heated up in the oven. So honestly, we figured she probably got it from something else and the inspector probably thought the same thing.
Nah, they had some BS going on in DOS I'm pretty sure, too.
And harasses you ceaselessly to use it, advertises itself if you look up Chrome in it, gets reset back to default on updates for a bunch of file types.

DDG is Bing by proxy, has been for ages. A while back they had a controversy for having microsoft trackers or something like that, and mentioned it was some stipulation for using Bing results. But they still backed off on that anyway.
There was mention that he had one more appeal on the SEC ruling a while back. My thoughts were he was banking on getting the SEC ruling reversed and giving them back a broken company.
And all it cost was everybody else's peace of mind, windows, and property.

Lemmy doesn't natively track karma unless they're doing their own tracking, but even then, nobody else is seeing it unless their client does it.
So basically, karma farming isn't nearly as important on Lemmy.
I'm not really offended by the asking for donations at the register thing, as long as those donations go 100% to the charity and it's a good charity, then doing something to make it easy for people to contribute who wouldn't otherwise take the time is ultimately a good thing.
The one that annoys me is where they match the donations. It feels like a method to guilt people into it by making their refusal to donate $1 into $2 not being donated.
There have been examples that are effectively primitive shitposts found carved into walls in Pompeii. People never really change.
