Sure it doesn't affect you, but your data is an important statistic to train zuck's algorithm to keep the other rubes, and children, doom scrolling on that shit platform.

In fact, based on a whistleblower testimony zuck would probably sell your data to the CCP to gain access to their population.

I'm sure he'll find unpaid volunteers to carry his ass, that he'll sell out once they reach the bunker.

I think you meant "morale", but moral is so much better.

Putting aside the dystopian angle for a minute, if you knew your data is valuable, would it change your behavior? e.g. if you behaved exactly the same as the median, would your data be valuable to advertisers? They gain no new info from you. Would you behave erratically just to make your data more valuable?

This kind of makes the theft of personal data even more insidious, IMO. Your data is only valuable if you forgot you're being watched.

So... cops?

Or as a Norm MacDonald's joke:

More outstanding research from the University of Scooby-Doo"

echo your $PATH & site-packages after activating venv. The activation logic does some juggling with the PATH so maybe pandoc slipped out?

I think Indians are willing to ignore an encroachment on some of their liberties, as long as there is actual improvement in their daily lives. Its the same as Chinese mainland citizens with the CCP. Living conditions for most Indians is improving rapidly compared to their parents for a majority of Indians. In their minds it's ok to not have, say freedom of speech, if you can guarantee food on the table, which wasn't so a decade back.

What most Indians don't realize that this is a deal with the devil. Letting go of too many rights, or adding more gatekeepers to their freedoms, is going to come bite them in the back. The Indian government has historically had a heavy hand on their citizens for protectionism, something they learnt from their Soviet influence. What remains to be seen is will they ease up in the future, when Indians will eventually start to suffocate in these restrictions.

History can grimly predict this, but I have my fingers crossed.

This is brilliant! The Hanlon-Clarke variant is a nicer name though
