Add in the fact when Comcast got subsidies to improve infrastructure they fucked off with the money and never got punished for it.

There are jokes I could make. There really are.

I just don't know how to make the idea of Thiel wanting a database of everyone who's underged into something funny.

It isn't enough for them to make a 'child friendly' space. Because it isn't about being child friendly. They must impose themselves on EVERYBODY so they can look and go 'I MADE EVERYONE CONFORM.'

My folks want to give ancestry.com a try what do I need to know? (lemmy.world)
 

tl;dr: Folks want to use ancestry to see where and how it goes. What do they need to know? Is there anything to avoid?

I'm not wild on the idea of submitting DNA swabs for a lot of reasons, the recent issues with genealogy.com's data being a great example. What of tracing family tree by liniage?

  1. The free trial STATTS with 'sign in using the following services' I haven't gone past that point because I don't want to hand anything over til they show me where they want payment information, because free trials are seldom free and.

  2. The payment page for full signups constnatly 'reassure' that you don't have to do anything each month it auto renews. my family's gotten burned on auto renewals before where the other end basically refused to stop taking money out in spite of trying to end services.

  3. Anyone know about the library edition how to find out what libraries have access to that and what's needed to sign in that way?

Ate a three day ban after talking about Lemmy (lemmy.world)
 

Reddit's automod thing says I threatened violence and harm and. I dunno? But I recall effectivly advocating against harm in the subs where discussion was going on. However It's funny. The morning after I remind folk that 'oh hey the corporate platforms, including reddit, will try to stifle discussion of altenritives' I eat a ban wit ha YOU WERE INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE warning.

...As I said.

They would not fear us, if we could not harm them.
