The setting does nothing. Someday they'll have to pay a fine for that, but they've already budgeted it as a cost of doing business.

I tried turning that on but it only applies to California residents.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What? I'm in California and they told me it only applies to New Jersey residents.

What? I'm in New Jersey and I've just been stabbed in the neck by a middleschooler.

Privacy - Settings - Data - Do not neglect to fail to not grind my bones into dust.

I always wondered what part of the bread making process you'd use ground bones for.

If you're feeling both morbid and curious, you can easily buy bone meal and try it out.

Bone meal is a very common fertilizer. It may not be food safe to eat, but you can probably make a loaf of bread and look at it at least.

I can't tell if that would be a sign of a crushingly empty existence or an exciting combination of drug induced psychoses πŸ˜†

Just today i got a "Your number has been added to google meets!" with no way to backout or cancel. Not even the double "are you sure" from when you decline windows 11 upgrade. It added it to some random account i'm signed into atm and nobody has hours to go through their convoluted menus to fucking turn it off or erase it.

Thats not counting all the other shit we get like the constant popups for premium or incessant backup harassment.

Time for a new phone (I know graphene but due for a new phone and not buying google).

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Doesn't that mean you were invited to a Google Meet via phone number? Basically someone "dialed" the wrong number. Just call in and play fart noises, I'm sure someone will figure it out.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 1 year ago

Turning it off breaks everything across the entire OS.

I hear - though I haven't run Windows myself for like a decade:-P.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nit: it's not 'opt-in' when you're forced in and must not out; it's 'opt-out' style, then, and that's how you know people are dicks.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

But it is opt-in. You can opt-in to not having your bones ground. Everybody knows that all major software defaults on grinding bones, so I also see absolutely no issue with this.

Would it be more like

Do you want to disable the ability to improve the bread richness and experience?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I thought they made beer with them ? Soulstorm and all

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I wiuld unironically opt in to that
