Everyone always asks why is American cheese, but never how is American cheese.

Sure, we could talk about the evils of capitalism all day long, but this isn’t the place for it.

The reality is if a car manufacturer wanted to break into the luxury EV market and wasn’t sure if they should make a mid-sized family sedan or a 2 door coupe, do they just pump billions into R&D and hope for the best, risking the jobs of thousands of employees and entire communities in the process? Do they call BMW/Tesla/Audi/Mercedes/etc and ask them for their sales data?

No, they go buy that information from a market research firm, who buys that data from BMW/Tesla/Audi/Mercedes.

PII data controls are an important aspect of privacy, but blanket statements like “no one, anywhere, ever should sell my data” are childish.

I used to think that way, but the reality is I’m a huge fan of data driven decision making and the biggest consumers of customer data are market research brokers.

One of the ‘trivia’ things on the display in our elevator was about how Websters had a listing for 5 years that wasn’t actually a word, ‘dord’. Like come on, now you can’t even trust words in the dictionary?!

Well shit, I stand corrected.

Bicentennial is also every 50 years.

On linux? No thanks.

I have 4 different browsers installed, I use Chrome for work activities, as it supports the Outlook and Teams PWA’s and I’m not browsing ad-ridden sites. I use qutebrowser for personal stuff/bookmarks, and Firefox for uh, video browsing.

You can buy ones that just stick to the wall. Honestly, I don’t want my head rubbing against the wall and leaving grease marks while I sleep, or fingerprints. You might not notice them but you definitely will once you move the bed.

Maybe because it doesn’t work? I uploaded a picture of someone I know, it found 2 ‘free’ results, neither of them matched, but it then offered me a ‘deep search’ for only $20.47.

And at the end of the day, the responsibility is still on YOU to quit fucking uploading your mug everywhere and making it publicly searchable.
