Possibly, but time and again I see toxic support areas where some noob gets a berating.
A regulated Paypal crypto currency - Fuck no! I stopped using that deceitfully disingenuous corporate swamp years ago. Nothing good can come of this. I bet it's a privacy nightmare.
No, you don't need to, but I was interested in what you might say.
Total agreement. I left Reddit years ago because I thought it was toxic long before the big migration. I really dislike seeing post after post of bot created Reddit content here. It makes me angry actually. I block it as best I can, but it should just fucking stop!
There are some open source tax software around. Depending on your country's requirements you should get by with it. It might be "clunky", and you might have to persevere with some kind of inconvenience, but I'm of the opinion that any open-source transparent software, preferably a local installation, is worth using. The alternatives are usually hostile to you despite selling as convenient and friendly. Remember that any cloud solution is basically "someone else computer". Would you put your most private financial information on some random person's computer? Any assurance of security is a farce. There's been many data breaches of tax prep corporate databases. Having said, that's not the worst aspect of using most app based or online tax prep software. Most of them look at your data, profile you, and then sell that information (your private financial information) to data brokers! If you're using the app you likely agreed to them doing that whether you're aware or not. Check the privacy policy and terms of use. Additionally, many hold your records for ransom! You need to keep a certain number of years worth of records, and if you aren't keeping a local copy for yourself they are the only source. Many will deny you your tax records if you haven't payed for their services. It's extortion. Something that belongs to you cannot be attained unless you pay them to give it to you. It ensures that you remain a customer forever. If you want to quit them, they know they will get years of payment out of you because you need access to your own financial documents. This is an insidious practice and I don't know why anyone puts up with it. Find an accountant who is willing to work with alternate open source software. They exist.
This sounds fantastic! However, I would ask - Can they function without an "App"? And if not, what data does these e-vehicles collect (or steal if it's without consent).
It's frustrating, I get it too. Nobody cares until the leopard bites their face. Then it's too late, and we're all affected by their indifference/laziness/ignorance.
No, Mullvad browser is built from and in conjunction with Tor browser, which is built from Firefox. It works really well if you leave it stock, which is the whole purpose. Blending in with all users.
Yes, I've noticed a relatively large drop in reading comprehension among my close friends and family, and in the community in general. It goes hand in hand with the excessively banal small talk and their sudden inability to think critically. It's almost like they've been hypnotized or brain drained. It certainly is a cause for concern.
So...nothing has changed except they have notified people the data they're already scraping and keeping is now going to be used to train AI too.
