2011, contracting for a web marketing agency I came across a tool they used that aggregated data from Market, Salesforce and data brokers.

You could put someone’s email in, and it would tell you every bit of info they ever filled out on a form for a sale or a freebie.

Name and address were often there, sometimes DoB, sometimes other PID, then there was shopping habits and history etc.

It was creepy as fuck. I dropped Facebook and twitter at the time. And I never filled a form or answered any questions at a till again. Then I started blocking trackers.

That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

I mean… Those look like normal Canadian prices.

However, contextually, that stuff in Canada is actually chocolate and many US versions have little to no cocoa, and oils instead of milk ingredients. So its a rip off because its not even chocolate.

This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.

Mostly unaffected save for some things. Emberstack kubernetes reflector opts to not make their own chart and their docs tell you to use Bitnami, so its the only chart I use that I’ll have to start maintaining myself unless Emberstack changes their stance.

It is, but it requires GPlay to operate and maintain your sub.

I switched to Subtracks when I dumped Google.

Because I dont need to pay rent for my files and I don’t have to worry about AI and VCs trying invade my privacy.

Truth.

You forgot Tubgirl

Trashy romance novels are also apparently entertaining but that doesn’t make them good literature. Twilight may be entertaining but the terrible grammar, word choice and plot make it a joke. Its the reality TV of novels.

The problem I see with this is that a Meta employee literally came out on Mastodon recently and revealed that non of these settings do anything and are false flags.

I love that scene. I don’t remember the glove ever being that responsive to motion controls 🤣

I see folks sharing a lot of joysticks I started with, but I think I’ll go with the original Wiimote

If Only I could read German. This looks intriguing.

Yeah this looks like the cover to a good scifi novel. Curious to know which.
