  • But there's no evidence. Because they asked politely, and that's the polite answer they got.

  • You're right, but I'm sure they'll find a way. If not next year then in ten years. Always an evaluation of customers lost vs. income gained.

  • Convenience is how they'll get you. Combined with landlord greed in this case.

  • I worry that they’ll start saying that a wifi connection is mandatory at some point, though.

    Yep. However, never will it be phrased like that. Not mandatory, some things just won't work without it 🤷

    Mafia talk.

  • Fair point, but OTOH we need people like that as whistleblowers.

    I once listened to a 3h podcast about analyzing Amazon's collected user data (they have to send it to you on request). One could argue that the author shouldn't use Amazon so much, duh. But it was super important, revealing stuff and made big waves.

  • There is no evidence that the data is being sold to third parties

    Oh well, that's all good then. /s

  • Importantly, was it more than 0?

    Exactly. doG, I dread the time when even used goods won't be available without IoT BS.

  • I think you win the internet for today. You could also be right.

  • There are (..) different economies.

    Thank you, I need to remind myself that "The Economy" is just another lie, usually cited with the undertone that it's too complex to understand for the 90%.

  • Yeah. And he really means it the way every European would read it anyhow: Economic Liberalism, a.k.a. Unfettered Capitalism

    Arnault’s net worth stood at $169bn (£125bn) on Friday, mainly because of his 48% stake in LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, according to Bloomberg. After joining his family company and turning it from construction to property, Arnault grew his fortune by buying up brands ranging from the jewellers Bulgari and Tiffany & Co, the fashion houses Christian Dior and Celine, to perfumes and whiskey brand Glenmorangie.

    (...)

    The wealth tax could raise as much as €20bn, according to Zucman. However, other economists have argued that it would raise only €5bn if the ultra-wealthy leave France.

  • a wealth tax that could cost him more than €1bn would be deadly for France’s economy.

    megalomania

  • Seriously, he's validating this BS?

    Well they both have reason to feel very self-conscious about their marriage.

  • Harsh. But good on you for posting it here.

  • Trump always had this knack of revealing his intentions when he thought he could just hit back at people.

    That's nothing new.

    But what he reveals is indeed getting worse every day, or at least: every day of 2025 it is much worse than before that.

    This, ladies and germs, is narcissistic dictatorial megalomania. Let's hope it he won't last long.

  • In Washington, nobody dared to go out on the streets or eat in restaurants.

  • I will never endorse catholicism (or christianity), but this seems to be one cool pope. Actually preaching what Jesus tought.

    Also Fuck Elon. He just wants to make headlines with superlatives, but he & his companies are already on the long way down. Prove me wrong.

  • Nanu, unterm falschen Pfosten gelandet?

  • There’s literally “butt” in his name.

    This is the level we're dealing with not only with Cucker Tarlson but all of US, erm, "political discourse".
