    I don't yet know how to give it money to spend. I could give it a small crypto wallet, but few places accept that as currency. I was thinking of using one of those virtual credit c…

    Is this not the logical result of fighting spammers? It’s easier to trust messages coming from mega corp when you know mega corp has invested in mechanisms that ensure their system…

    I’m bothered by the UK thing because beyond just the marketing, we had Tim declare that “Privacy is a human right.” Marketing is BS, and I expect companies to screw customers and i…
