Apple collects information sure but it’s nowhere near as much as Google does and this is verifiable.

None of these companies are good but Apple is by far the least bad when it comes to respecting your privacy

Wow

Google and Facebook don’t enforce these kinds of setting onto their internal apps

When you tell iOS to not share info with applications it actually doesn’t share that info with applications. Facebook sued Apple over this.

Look, I don’t worship Apple but it’s just wrong to say they aren’t wayyy more protective of privacy than almost everyone else

Edit; violating apples privacy rules subjected Facebook to legal liability (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2022/09/22/facebook-keeps-giving-users-more-reasons-to-delete-their-accounts/)

Fb sues Apple for letting users choose not to share information at the system level (https://business-law-review.law.miami.edu/battle-tech-giants-apple-facebook-clash-consumer-data-privacy/)

As far as I know America only recently began charging foreigners more under Trump, not for decades

Please correct me if I’m wrong

If they cared less you wouldn’t even get the option

Indeed. Hence I said it’s bizarre lmao

Sure but at that point in his career he certainly didn’t need to make cgi action slop just for money

Yeah it’s hard to stay motivated when you keep on meeting just acquaintances

I guess it’s like a good doctor or therapist you gotta just keep on trying and hope you find one among all the rest…

It’s bizarre that of all the things he could do he’s seemingly decided to devote the rest of his life to avatar

Even James Cameron has room to criticize ai advocates

Germany and Japan were subject to complete and total American led nation building. Douglas MacArthur basically wrote the Japanese constitution and modeled it on America.

Who do you plan to appoint as leader of this new project of yours?

I think it works both ways. Capitalism is absolutely responsible for virtually all facets of life being awful.

But it’s also used as an excuse that reaffirms hopeless narratives and prevents people from doing helpful things too. You yourself said social groups are not good because capitalism has ruined those too.

I can assure you that if we stay inside and don’t meet anybody there will be 0 resistance.

Indeed, it’s a true tragedy of the commons that can only be stopped at the regulatory level

I believe America was the only western nation to see increased car deaths since 2010. We also have drivers with aftermarket headlamps and brake lights that seem to have no rules or regulations for safety or standardization. Combined with electric cars having super sensitive acceleration and virtually no barrier to getting a drivers license it’s beyond dangerous here.

Well if your regulators actually fail to stop this at least it’s a good way to identify antisocial members of society

So he’s assembling a helpful list of the remaining news organizations that actually post facts and truth? Sounds good

Magically replacing capitalism with something that isn’t much worse is also not a realistic solution to such stated problems. If someone says they feel alone or exhausted it seems much more unhelpful to say I told you so because that’s capitalism for you 🤷‍♀️

Especially when you can in fact still do small and real things to improve your mental/physical/social health, even under capitalism.

How are people gonna resist capitalism if they already can’t do simple coping strategies for daily life?

I’ve heard rumors that bricks work better than eggs

I think they’ve committed to doing the opposite

I believe the shame stems from the moral injury we all suffer when we peacefully stand by in a democracy and let bad people control the government and inflict serious harm on innocents

So in some respect it is in fact all of our faults because we do in fact sit by and watch people die so we can respect the democratic process.
