It looks like a omen to take up farming.
Before or after 30% of the world's fertilizer shipments resume through the Strait of Hormuz and prices come down? Noting that ocean transit times are several weeks to months.
OK make that *organic* farming...

Over on the 'Racing News' website you can read about Linux distributions and the Tiobe rankings.
Sure, the credit card system has caused price inflation as the ~3% that merchants have to pay is built into the price of goods. But that money is never coming back to the consumer. Even if the 3% is eliminated, the merchants will still charge the same and enjoy higher margins.
I for one would be happy to see the smaller merchants (who are the most abused by the CC duopoly) get their 3% back.
This could become my new hobby...
Tell us how you really feel!
People have little choice when buying devices, using apps or opening accounts but to agree to lengthy terms that include consent for companies to collect and sell their personal data. This “consent” allows their data to end up in the largely unregulated commercial data market. The government claims it can lawfully purchase this data from data brokers. But in buying your data in bulk on the commercial market, the government is circumventing the Constitution, Supreme Court decisions and federal laws designed to protect your privacy from unwarranted government overreach.
Still nothing to hide?

Fact: 87.5% of statistics are made up.
Typical MAGA response. The USA (rah-rah!) Is OK, the rest of the world can fuck itself.

Wow, did you actually read what you typed?
"Opt out of all FOG DATA SCIENCE data sets"
What -- exactly -- does that do, how quickly, and what are some of the side-effects?\
Underneath, it says "You will be removed from all our data sets." And yet I doubt that very much. Surely there will be an entry in a database somewhere saying "Device identifier ________-____-_____-_____-_____ requested removed date-and-time _____ from IP address _____", etc.
And does that only retroactively remove data? Suppose they snarf up another dataset, bought from someone else or collected by themselves. Is that data also removed from their datasets, or does another removal request have to be made?
Have you noticed that these opt-out forms look more like an attempt to complete their data sets with the additional data you are required to enter?
