My guess would be that companies will probably go after the 99.9% of people that torrent on public trackers, while ignoring private ones since it’s not worth it to go to all that trouble just to track the last 0.1%

one is food for animals, the other is food for cars

commercial drones must have by law a remote ID, think of it like a unique number for each drone, so you might want to try using some phone apps like DroneTag to get that ID and then report it to the authorities. They will have a record of who that drone belongs to.

doesn’t Anna’s archive already include those two sources or is it incomplete?

AirUp/Flavored water companies

If you want orange flavored water, squeeze an orange in your water, damn it! You don’t need a subscription service for some chemicals that taste like orange

Unfortunately privacy in schools is at the lowest point yet, not only with Microsoft and stuff, but with Google providing the whol ecosystem of Chromebooks/ Sheets/Presentations/ Writing/Device administration and stuff.

You are pretty much left no choice but to either submit everything to these corps or go to another school where it’s probably gonna be the same.

Ad an example, lately, to combat AI usate in writing assignments, teachers nave starter accepting only Google Docs, so that they can see the writing history and determine if it’s written by hand.

you’d be surprised to know that in many places there’s no such thing and you either stuff everything in as it comes or pack on the ground

in Vienna they usually have some sort of table near the checkouts so you can just grab everything, put yourself there to free up the space for other people, and slowly organize your stuff into some bag/backpack

but why drop it?

As of September 2014, the European Union had authorized 49 GMO crops, which include various types of GM maize, cotton, oilseed rapes, soybeans, a sugar beet, bacterial biomass, and yeast biomass​. The seeds are developed by private companies, however applications for the authorization of a GMO for cultivation must be submitted to a competent authority in an EU Member State. Then, the report is sent to the European Commission and other EU Member States for even more checks. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also can intervene if they believe it could be hazardous.

so yea, not a perfect world, but close enough
