It's difficult to argue with someone who doesn't even understand the basic, but I'll try.
They track what you paid to someone with the card, because they have to - they have to pay them, and put the charge on your bill. You get a statement which details that, so feel free to query the data they're already making available to you. It's not your data, you agreed to allow them to collect it when you applied for and started using a card. If you don't like it, use cash.
No, you are not directly paying for fraudulent use of your card. That comes out of profits, and is potentially spread across all customers, whether their card was used fraudulently or not.
"My credit card usage data sure as fuck is personal data and that brings it under GDPR."
It's the bank's credit card, not yours. They can revoke it whenever they want. They just authorized you to use it. And the usage data sure as fuck is their business data which they can use to prevent fraud, which they, not you, end up paying for.
The issue was pretty well resolved decades ago with telcom - divide content/service providers from carriers. Current issues revolve around allowing the two to intermingle.
You are, perhaps incorrectly, assuming that all groups are equally represented on those platforms. I'll submit (without evidence) that overall, conservatives tend to be older and less likely to join and participate in those social media platforms. The algorithms act upon the data they receive from platform members and participants.
"The surface area of the Earth is a little over 500 million square kilometers. The meltwater from melting glaciers doesn't only go to the lower 48 US states; it equilibrates all around the world."
Yep, that's obvious. Also, mountains. Which makes the claim that "Melted, that's enough to cover the lower 48 U.S. states in about 4 feet of water" bullshit. They did NOT claim that it could cover a flat surface area equivalent to CONUS, they claimed CONUS.
"Since 1961, the world has lost 10.6 trillion tons of ice and snow, the study reported. Melted, that's enough to cover the lower 48 U.S. states in about 4 feet of water."
No, it isn't because, as you know, the US isn't under 4 feet of water. Or maybe they mean "lost" like they can't find it, but given the rest of the summary they seem to mean it's melted.
What you describe is one of the few things good about Disney - underpromise/overdeliver. When you're in line and the sign says you have a 30 minute wait for a ride, it's realistically more like 20. If it's less than they say you're happy, if it's more you're pissed.
But yeah, the article/summary is extremely biased. "Because these flights were consistently late, airlines have now baked delays..." is just a biased way of saying they realized they were wrong, and fixed it. And it completely ignores the importance of schedules when there are connecting flights - I'd much rather sit at a gate for an extra 15 minutes than miss a connection and have to wait hours.
No, they're not wasting fuel and melting glaciers. Time is money, and they want to get there as soon as they can. But there are lots of moving parts not under direct control (think weather, equipment issues, and other airlines). The summary's comparison to 50 years ago is simple ignorance (at best, otherwise deliberate misrepresentation) - there are now way more flights and there's way more complexity/chaos to affect flight times.
Considering that Amazon comes from ancient Greek, and refers to a tribe of women warriers, I'd say it's "first come, first served." The countries simply don't have any better claim to use of the word than the company.
Slashdot Mirror
They're copying Apple again. Their explanation will be "You're folding it wrong."
People will go to great lengths to get an egg salad recipe.
That will certainly incentivize their largest market - US consumers - to buy products from India instead of China.
Koss KSC-35, FTW! Great sound, no batteries. Just need an ubiquitous headphone jack (oh, wait, never mind).
"That he failed is irrelevant."
But him saying he would isn't proof that he actually tried, either.
"This censored version is not interesting. I would pay money to watch the uncut version."
Translated, the above means "I'm not interested in the plotline, show me titties!"
"god is a myth"
Clapton is very much alive.

Are you claiming that where you live, crime never happens unless there's a cop around? I see a simple solution to your crime problem.

"the oldest Linux kernel still supported is 3.16, first released in 2014.
Come back when MS releases source code for the OS, so users can maintain it when they don't.
MS gives a big FU to anyone who foolishly built a system on their OS. Let that be a lesson.
Give me a flying car (as promised by Popular Mechanics decades ago), and you can compare my use with that of all those lowly road-dwellers.

How do you think the data gets from/to those cell sites?
systemd. HTH! HAND!
Yep. But now I can make you stop using it.
"Might as well just get rid of the dots entirely."
If we're just going to use hostnames, I claim "loopback"!

"Yes, Mac is Unix."
Last I knew, they ran a Mach kernel. When did that change to a UNIX/ATT one?
"affects Apache web server releases for Unix systems only"
Linux != Unix. (although I suspect the summary is wrong). Does anyone run Unix these days?
