It kinda depends where. GDPR in the EU is certainly an example of governments imposing their will on corporations. In the US, not so much, as corporations dump tons of money on lobbying that allow to them influence how they are regulated.

You need to find people that share a common interest with you, like a hobby or sport. That way there is some activity that you can do with them instead of just keeping in touch via social media. I have a regular casual basketball group that I literally don’t interact with online except when scheduling pickup games, but when we do meet up to play, we hang out over dinner afterwards. Same with another set of people that I meet during happy hours in my career field.

Make music. Travel, if money isn't an issue.

easily defeated by people who bother to search the internet

You overestimate the number of people who are savvy enough to bypass paywalls, or at least willing to put in the effort to find the content elsewhere . It's an insignificant number compared to the general population that it's probably more costly for them to do something about it rather than let it be.

This was the worst. I was happy to see a compact EV SUV I can actually afford, and I'm all for big screens; but to remove the instrument cluster/gauge and put THAT on the infotainment screen as well is so dumb.

A little different in my case. I started intermittent fasting last year and lost some weight to get to my ideal weight for my height. I was probably 10-ish lbs over before I started. Now that I'm skinnier and able to maintain it because of IF, I also lost some muscle mass, at least visually. What I hate with being skinny is upper arms get too thin and all my shirt sleeves look big as I can't fill them out. Since I'm too lazy to go to the gym to get my biceps/triceps bigger, I gave up and just accepted my skinny arms and legs. At least that's better than being overweight as I get older.

Ginger Ale. No caffeine and the sugar-free version is pretty good.

Isn’t it a money thing? I kinda remember reading somewhere that big corporate clients basically can have their traffic pass through without decryption because they pay enough for the service. So as usual, it’s the small individual user who gets shafted.

I personally use Mullvad on my FF DNS settings.

Teleporpation including the clothes I’m wearing, whatever I’m bringing, and whoever I’m holding. No more dealing with traffic and parking, can travel anywhere in the world in an instant, can get into concerts/shows without tickets, and lots of other useful conveniences.

Lmao let’s see them try to time their farts with Alien Hip Hop.

Startpage. I know there’s been criticism of the company that acquired them but I believe they gave satisfactory responses to privacyguide’s queries about how they handle user data. Obviously it doesn’t automatically mean they’re telling the truth.
