Advertisers aren't interested in your privacy. Simple as.

Yup, that is my understanding as well. Likewise, if you're going around stealing, and someone happens to think that's bad, they can use force to stop you because there's no state telling them otherwise.

The idea that if there's no state we'd automatically be living in communist utopia where everything is shared and nobody owns anything is flawed on its face. It's certainly possible that there would be groups or tribes of people that choose to live that way, but other tribes would form around the idea that property rights should be protected and build a community around that.

Nope, anarchy is only the absence of a state. Like I said, it is still possible to enforce property rights in such a scenario... as long as you do it yourself.

This likely WOULD lead to less hoarding and more wealth distribution, because you cannot keep what you cannot defend. But it's definitely wrong to assume all property would automatically become public and "free use" and everyone would share freely as in a communist utopia, because that requires agreement between people. And in the absence of a state, there is no authority that could enforce such an agreement.

What if you told you you can take a screenshot of those and share that here...

Ah yes, I have insulted my opponent in the genital area, therefore his arguments are invalid.

Dumb question perhaps, but why don't they just make it a web app or a mobile website instead?

Weird. I generally don't mind self-checkout but Walmart's showing you a video of yourself so you can check yourself out while you're checking out yourself kinda creeps me out. And I don't even use the self checkout to steal.

Reddit because of the API pricing change

Yeah that did it for me as well. I was a huge fan of Apollo until the developer decided to shut it down because of that.

Luckily Lemmy fills the gap pretty well, and the Voyager app is almost as good as Apollo used to be.
