  I rarely use onedrive and I’m not logged in in any client normally. a few years ago I checked some files through firefox and learned that search also searches in image content, even though I stopped using the service before AI tech became available.

  all banks I know have a problem with it in my country. one of the didn’t, but recently decided to end their good tradition referring to some unclear legal obligations

  root permissions, which will disqualify it from being able to run the banking app, the mandatory age verification app, and others.

  no, it means they are halfway through the verification and for most countries they already have counted enough valid votes.

  well I don’t know how many uses it takes to wear out a decent guillotine, from my part it could be good if it can do 5 turns. no idea

  I thought they mean it for the equipment, that it does not fall apart so fast

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨was this average bullying behavior?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if they say you should die because you wanted to talk with them, they are not nice people. you should avoid them for your own benefit. try to find other people if you can, but I would say being alone even is better on a scale. I was in a similar situation for years. and when I thought it ended, it all came back with other people for another few years. if you are a child in school, locked together with them, mentally prepare yourself that they’ll continue bullying you even if you don’t contact them, and that most teachers won’t care. still, you should try getting help if the madness does not stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  where did I imply it is black and white? I did not say that there are no people who reasonably want to rent, of course there are.

  but I’m pretty sure that it’s not even half the people.

  the problem is not that people who want to rent can’t, they have plenty of options! but that people who specifically dont want to rent, very often does not have amy other choice.
  buying a house for a family comes with a lifelong loan, with all the aid possible, and buying a house as an individual or as a couple is just not possible anymore where I live. unless you have an exceptionally high salary. even just buying an empty parcel or one where there’s only a house so bad it needs to be demolished costs so much, if there’s a habitable house the bank won’t even give a loan.

  I know people that only want to rent, they don’t want to own.

  you say this as if most people would be like that. whereas most people don’t want to travel all the time, for most that wouldn’t even be possible because of their job, most just want a place to live, and feudalists are taking advantage of (and contributing to) prohibitively expensive housing prices
