Sure, the apps are recording all of that, my question is around my TV

I Chromecast content from my computer and phone.

If I don’t watch/stream stuff otherwise, and my TV isn’t connected to anything else I’m aware of, is my data being exfiltrated? It’s a Sony from ~2015

… I’ve also heard of some brands (that I don’t remember atm) that won’t even let you go through the initial setup without a connection.

/Microsoft announced new foray into TVs…

You nailed Ketchup.

Also, mayonnaise is fucking disgusting. I worked at subway in high school and we had to install wide-nozzle tubes on our mayo dispensers because the morbidly obese customers would say things like “I don’t want to be able to see the sandwich, just bury it in mayo” and it would hold up the sandwich line.

Let’s get down to it: top 3 hot sauces? I go Valentinas, green Tabasco, sriracha. Honorable mention, gochujang, tapatio

People also just get confused by terminology and the mechanics and do it on accident, though much less common if state isn’t including it on voter reg for sure.

The genesis of this post was a family member in a very blue state, who went to an ivy league school and is extremely progressive and was sick of blue/red and googled “independent party” in her state and when I sent her the party platform she was registered for she lost her mind.

Political parties vary by state, and registration processes do also as noted elsewhere in the thread. There may not be an Independent party in your state, but there are in others and it causes confusion.

The point of the post is to share the point of confusion so people can read up on their registration or state party platforms. If you’re not going to bother to learn about the differences that do exist, but still want to broadly claim “election year bullshit”, maybe you’re part of the problem you’re raging about.

I’m in Oregon and it’s on the voter registration form, not required, but a big drop down with party name and no other info. Oregon is hardly red.

Picked some random states, they’re all different which is also part of the confusion when citizens move. They may not record it for the state but can those in the state still register or join a party on their own? Issue would still exist if so.

God forbid the enormous amount of money be poured into the actual product rather than spamming an inferior one.

Thanks to massive lobbying, and this won’t surprise anyone on Lemmy, but cosmetics as a whole have no regulatory oversight mechanism. The FDA can recommend things and it’s up to corporations to self-regulate, which usually works well with no significant fines to deter bad actors.

Don’t let your kids use anything.

Partenered with? It’s owned by BOA, US Bank, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase. Might be used by smaller folks too but was started by those goons to try to capture mobile and p2p needs and is proprietary and doubtless whores your data. Stay away.

The Nexus series was bangin

$.05 explanation for those unfamiliar?

I saw a fucking ad on my profile “those who verify their identity get 70% more views”…than fucking what after 2 weeks? A data company but their marketing is done by the spice girls

No, that is bullshit. If you don’t trust them or if they can’t be trusted don’t give them a phone. Nanny parenting, or pretending you’re the NSA is unhealthy for their development, and gives you an illusion of control of their life that is inaccurate and misleading.

Talk to your fucking kid about your worries or their behavior and/or parent them, actually drive behavioral change, but don’t bitch out and not parent and pretend the E-leash is helping them or you.

I hope you paid them for the lost ad revenue you caused them to suffer.

Almost like presidential appointment powers matter! If only Democrats would have realized that before giving Trump 3 lifelong SCOTUS appointments.

93 nominations for the same thing, means I’m probably the wrong answer but I don’t Graphene, but I was degoogling and found PlayerFM listed among good Free Open Source Software FOSS options. Hope it works as Graphene option.

Since COVID, Migration from large, expensive coastal cities to sparsely populated rural states is one of the greatest opportunity to permanently flip representation. Idaho was the largest percentage population gainer in the US since COVID and almost all of it coming from CA, OR, WA. Were this to continue you’d probably be looking at a blue state in an election cycle or two. I think this is one of the reasons, long with insane sadism, that Rs are trying to push such radical agendas t state levels–to scare moderates and progressives from moving there. Wyoming could be permablue with one year of concentrated migration.

Even states like Texas, thought of as Red stronghold are not that disproportionately voted Red; 2020 was a difference of 600k votes. 100k net Californians(only CA!) were moving to Texas a year during the pandemic, if you add in other states we might actually see it flip in a few cycles, though the radical agenda being pushed is going to kill those numbers perhaps. Very curious to see 2024 shifts.
