Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it’s supposed to.

Encapsulated in that “etc.” in my first response is “going out of business”. This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.
It doesn’t matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.
Lastly, I just don’t like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don’t want to support.
I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the “vote with your money” method isn’t anything to ridicule.

The broken arm thing is a bit of a false equivalency, no? No one really decides to break their arm, it just happens. Whereas suicide at the end of the day (no matter how deep the desperation) is a choice.
I’m on the most recent GrapheneOS with both the Google Camera app and the Graphene camera app installed and enabled, and can confirm the double tap of the power button can be set to open the Google Camera app! Downside is I have no idea how I did it 😅
Unfortunately, the same thing happens when you turn it all the way up
This is oddly controversial, but an even more satiating method is to consume more protein. If you hit your goal body weight (lbs) in grams of protein, you won’t be reaching for that end of day snack.
Note drinking the protein instead of eating it doesn’t work nearly as well for this.
I’ve had the opposite response. Generally I get a “good on ya, I should really delete it too”
Bold of you to assume my email app has push notifications
It can happen to anyone, even you! All it takes is for you to be a bit tired, stressed, or have a bit of an emotional response and it can quickly spiral.
Hell, even the guy who came up with the term “phishing” clicked a phishing link at the height of his cyber security career and just barely caught himself before providing info.
These people aren’t idiots, they are victims who were tricked.
Originally governments wanted backdoors into encryption protocols, but now they seem to want client side scanning (i.e. scanning messages on your phone before it’s encrypted and sent out)
Just an open source frontend for Shazam, but Audire is pretty nice for this
You got a lot of downvotes, but you’re right at least when it comes to Carnivore.
I’m a proud omnivore, but vitamin C can be found in a lot of different organ meats.
