I just migrated away from Gemini because the billing website is intractable. It's impossible to understand where or how your dollars have been spent. There are no ways to set hard cutoff limits, and they seem to be happy to surprise you with large bills. I am moving on to services that provide pre-paid billing with limits.

Anyone else is concerned about economists that can't do simple math to figure out it's their 39th anniversary?

Have you seen Frans de Waal's TED Talk? https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Have you read David Graeber's book? https://davidgraeber.org/books... What is the next step for humanity? What kind of society do you want to live in?

Do you want the Kremlin to have your data or just the NSA? The idea that the NSA regularly collects data from US citizens is well documented. The idea is tenuous that Kaspersky is colluding with the Russian government to export data from USA targets to Russian intelligence. Endpoint security relies on central services understanding what is going on in the world. This can be referred to as operation intelligence.

I would personally want the best antivirus or malware software that identifies the most vulnerabilities and I don't give a damn which nation illegally collects my data. If they want to exert power over who collects it then they should be open about how they collect it.
