That sucks. I’ve never had an issue opting out after finding out it’s possible, maybe done it 7 or 8 times. I smile and ask “is it possible to opt out of that?”
I’m curious if something would happen if they told you no, when you do in fact have that right. I’m so anxious when I’m there (about nothing, just an anxious guy) that if they told me I couldn’t opt out I’d just fall in and let the thing scan me.
Probably because everyday it’s some brand new outrage or the second end-of-democracy event this week or yet another toothless attempt to impose consequences that will go nowhere.
It gets clicks and it’s obviously a cycle that will go on for 4 years and it’s exhausting.
Nobody wants to watch that shit, wake us up when somebody does something about it. It’s obvious to me that Teflon don has zero consequences for his actions, so why hear about them and ruin my day?
Mainstream tech adoption needs a neat clean wrapper imo. I think that’s the biggest missing piece to fediverse, people want pretty, simple, plug and play.
If a wrapper like that could be put on top of/combined with all the good qualities that the fediverse offers, I think it would create optimal conditions for slow adoption.
Why I’m here (first comment yay)
Bay area, and same. I miss four seasons (Virginia is closest I’ve been so mild winters). The housing market, politics, and long term climate prospects of the northeast make it pretty damn appealing.
