Is there a way to monetize other than by subscription? $1/y is both too little (for the operator) and too much (for the user) at the same time.

They will just rename/reform themselves. And there are other channels for spying on people. This brings up the question: is there a good, realistic guide for a normal person on how to prevent being spied on?

Lockdowns (and masks?) have shown that the spread of COVID and the 'flu can be slowed down. If governments can implement lockdowns and not cause too much harm to the population, I reckon we can beat these diseases. Edit: add masks

Marc Feeley of Gambit Scheme is one of the contributors. And the compiler is in plain Scheme itself, so can be executed from Guile, Chicken and Gambit. Very interesting. And as for the origin on the Chicken Scheme name, it is mentioned here

Exposing incompetence and recklessness in government departments and large corporates, or even just any ol' trashy outfit that collects personal data, will make them very angry at being made to look incompetent and reckless.

I came across one in a Mission Beach forest far north Queensland in the early 2000's. I ducked behind the nearest tree. When it came to check me out, I just moved around the tree and kept doing that as it persisted to check me out. It

If you have good, progressive ideas and have time and energy, run for parliament. If Hanson, Katter, Christensen and all the other useless junk can get in, you have a chance. We do need a real progressive alternative in politics. Greens are

From a users perspective this sounds entirely positive, but I guess there may be ambiguities around the definitions of "account" and "deletion" and "account deletion".

Can you describe the type of employer that does this? Is it a cultural thing like it is in Dubai? Very curious that this seems to happen in Singapore regularly. I have a very high opinion of Singapore, although I have only been there in tra

Your description of "maids" does not seem to match what is on the official Singapore government site: ( https://www.mom.gov.sg/employment-practices/employment-act/w... ). I don't think Singapore is ex

Corruption will hold back India for at least another 20 years from achieving what Singapore has. Probably a lot more, and maybe never.

I knew a few people who were permanent residents in Singapore for work, and they were not "labor". In fact, I think the population drop would be almost all in the high-skilled professional worker cohort. These are exactly the peop

Tried Edge, it works as expected. Tried turning off Facebook Container, it also works as expected. So you are right good Sir! Still, a bit unexpected behaviour though.

What is the suggested way to use this to write a suite of GUI tests for a Windows desktop application? I was thinking of test params in version control that AutoIt would then go through, build and run the tests.

I wonder whether good ol' snot plays a significant role in trapping the virus particles and preventing them from contacting the epithelial cell layers. Maybe that is why snotty children don't seem to get affected.

Personal questions and you don't have to answer at all: Did your family really have the money to pay it? Where did your family get it from? Don't have to answer if you don't want to.
