IDK, a kid not knowing how to pirate is weird too, at least where I live. That would mean their parents actually buying them media, which, in my experience, is not that frequent of a sight. I had classmates who had subscriptions just to feel good about consciously paying for the content (they were also upper-middle-class). The rest didn't really think about ethics and just pirated, the information on how to do it spreads through kids' collectives pretty easily. It seems to me that many of them don't even know that what they and their families are doing is "piracy"...

After reading various news amd stories about phishing, I no longer think anyone is really "too smart to be phished". Not the matter of "If", but "Under what circumstances".

I don't think he would go submarine diving, it would be more in-character for him to try and fail a moon vacation.

From the couch, I don't understand why a humanoid body would be best for this... We humans have to work with what we initially had, but why wouldn't a robot be better? Seems like even a wheeled/threaded cart, or a quadruped with arms could be more practical in a lot of situations...

I much prefer RiMusic. Doesn't require an account, doesn't have the problems you described, is FOSS, and is on F-Droid. While my main collection is local, I rely on this for discovery.

Would that mean censorship of moobs?

Maybe Divest/Lineage could be an option instead. Although you have to choose a device wisely (and even among supported ones, some have trouble unlocking the bootloader), there is a chance you'd find a suitable cheaper one.

Personally no regrets spending $300 on a Pixel 7a but still painful to hand over this much.

You don't block ads on Youtube? Why?

I know this title is misleading. Sorry if I made a mistake, I just know that some facial recognition systems (including the one used in our cities) use data from multiple public sources including social media, so assumed this one was the same.

I thought the comment was about "giving PimEyes training data via interacting with Facebook".

I wonder how much use is there in photos of you where you haven't been tagged (in addition to being bad quality). When it comes to better-quality, tagged ones - you can just ask people not to do so.
