A lot of places in the US it's becoming more common to be able to make a living on a small-scale farm. Especially if you live near (hour) of a larger city. You can sell a lot of produce to restaurants that want local ingredients. I don't know if it's respected, but it's not looked down upon.
Also, apparently in the last ten years or so American farming has become small-scale by a vast majority. I think it's about 90% are 3 acres or less?
I enjoyed the women from Chicago's point. That having that old-time gym feeling is not something that's the best for most people. It's one of those silly ideas that tries to sum up a big problem and give it a small fix. I remember a friend showed me something their aunt or something posted about dirt roads. It was a similar idea to the gym thing. It's absurd.
I feel like whoever wrote this doesn't have kids or just now started paying attention to what they are doing on their devices. Also, this seems like it would be really obvious; people want money. Kids love to just click everything so there is a ton of revenue there.
Serious question though, what is immersion in the programming context? Is it being only in the programming environment and not leaving? Wouldn't using a web browser for documentation or stack overflow be a break in it? Why not just have the windows one needs and configure your ide to be how you like?
As soon as I can find a decent, stable job I'm going to start degoogling more of my life. Unfortunately, I have a Pixel 2 and a Pixelbook (unfortunately because Google, otherwise they're great), and I don't have the money to replace them right now. I do use Firefox and DDG on my desktop though. I really like them.
Kay. I don't really see any issues here. They got a legitimate fine and now they might charge licensing. Maybe this will help open up the market a little.
The author just can't seem to understand the concept that these phones are an upgrade for most Indian users. He mentions it multiple times as if he complained about it to literally everyone he interviewed.
I just don't see the EU giving fines to American small businesses. What kind of money could they expect to get out of them? I'm curious though, what EU countries do you think are so desperate for money that they would basically extort American small businesses?
I'm not really sure why you think this. So, the EU should just let companies steal and sell their citizen's information? I mean, IIRC companies can have separate privacy policies for non-EU users. Also, you have a very narrow view of how information is "given" and collected. Literally using the internet is "giving away" your data. Should I go live in a cabin in a remote location surrounded by a Faraday Cage/Lead walls/magic invisible shield?
