Yes, it is onion and yes, it is some veggie because onions are vegetables 😀

In addition to the other comments here: Don't run near cows. Quite often, they will start running with you, which is very impressive and dangerous at the same time. Cows generally are faster than you for the first few hundred meters at least.

Living in Germany, I get rarely get any. Usually about 1-2 per year. Last year was an exception, where the same entity (computer or very confused person) called me like 5 times before I blocked the number.

I gave out my number a lot in groups, but avoid giving it to online or delivery services.

You need a phone, tablet, or other device that’s been rooted.

You watched "Ender's Game" and sided with the humans (almost) annihilating an intelligent species.

It depends a lot on how the story is told.

Once again, it's mostly about the money

Do you have evidence or is this pure speculation?

How and why should Mozilla get money from Russia? Isn't it more plausible if Russia were blackmailing Mozilla?

Alternativ könnte man das Beispiel auch durch ein anderes Beispiel ersetzen.

Let me try to respond back:

  1. Depending on your situation, your identity, your society, you cannot always rely on the police helping you. There are lots of documented cases of discrimination (e.g. racism) at police institutions in all kinds of regions across the globe. The companies probably don't want to delete the data any time soon, so there is a chance that this data persists for decades. What if your country chances and starts discriminating or harassing whatever group you belong to? Can you guarantee that your government/society won't flip the switch on any group of society within their lifetime? Can you guarantee that nobody ever wants to visit a country which their group will be discriminated or persecuted?
  2. If the homeless person does not own a smartphone, how do they receive money on their Swish account, yet create a swish account? How does a person without documents create a swish account?
  3. In your case, Swish seems to be a digital gatekeeper. What prevents them from going rogue, increasing prices or discriminating people? I recommended reading Jaron Lanier's Gadget for understanding the power of digital monopolies.

If the first point does not convince you, here are 2 examples:

  • gay dating apps: It repeatedly happened that information from gay dating apps were leaked, sold or extorted to bad governments. Those governments discriminated or persecuted, in some cases killed people just for being homosexual. Chances are high that a gay person has some digital traces to that, e.g. in Swish. Cashless puts them even more at risk in countries like Egypt. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2017/apr/03/jailed-for-using-grindr-homosexuality-in-egypt
  • In the 1930s, a lot of Jews in Europe were identified through state documents which (unnecessarily) mentioned their religion. In some locations, brave people protected them by destroying, hiding or faking state documents.

In other words: If your society changes, any data that exists may be turned against you, even costing your life and the lives of your closest people. Avoiding to have this data saves lives and protects minorities.

Sound like bullshit. We already had +1.45°C last year¹ and even if we completely stopped emitting anything at all, our excessive emissions from the past will certainly cause the temperature to rise over 1.5°C. The emissions path for 1.5°C would need to be negative very soon or maybe even years ago.
