I disagree, not really an unpopular opinion.

I'll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it's made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn't matter what it is made out of, it's going to pollute.

What a downvote Nancy.

A VPN is just essentially a change in ISP.

Stainless steel leaches nickel and chromium.

"The true fascist are the people who try to place control on disinformation being used to prop fascists!" - Musk, probably

Good thing heavy metal toxicity isn't a problem.

Money whale hunting.

This is another reason why a lack of transparency with user votes is bad.

As to why it is seemingly done randomly in reddit, it is to decrease your global karma score to make you less influential and to discourage you from making new comments. You probably pissed off someone's troll farm in what they considered an influential subreddit. It might also interest you that reddit was explicitly named as part of a Russian influence effort here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366201/dl - maybe some day we will see something similar for other obvious troll farms operating in Reddit.

It's not when it's your device doing the computing. All electronic devices should have visible hardware indicators for when their camara or microphone is on, but that's a consumer rights issue most people are dismissive of, so it's not happening. Some people even always want it on for the assistant functionality.

Because opposition parties generally have their groups in there, which would cause political backlash and distance the supporters that still use it. Not that banning social networks abusing their privilege through hidden moderation and promotion and selling their user's data so propagandist know who and how to target shouldn't be done, but right know it would be done under the counter-chants of "repression" in the particular cold war 2.0 state of affairs of the world today, and that's very politically taxing.

If X did that, then there wouldn't be this thread. It isn't just Google, it's every international corporation that has to deal with issues across the border. I'm sorry, bud, but outside of the Musk personality cult chamber, the guy is just incompetent, he just made and inherited a few risky bets that worked out for him and he's still riding their fading glory.

I think any country would ban a business whose CEO ignores requests by its judges and even proceeds to taunt them. An international business that decides which laws it does or does not follow is pretty dystopian, all X had to do was what Google has done for ages, comply with the law regionally.
