I make a point of never using pip outside of a virtual environment exactly for this reason. It has worked well!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned friends https://github.com/JacobEvelyn/friends a command line tool that does a lot of what Monica aims to do. A Ruby gem that will be "friendly" only to laptop users, but with a wide community and continued development.

Because when you talk to a salesperson you know you're being looked at (and reciprocally you're looking at them), and human memory is limited so it's unlikely they will retain any "data" about you when the contact is finished.

Here, instead, there is no indication that you're being watched, analyzed and kept recorded for indefinite amounts of time.

If you find the subject interesting I suggest reading "The white road" by Edmund De Waal. It gives a more human, broad and intimate insight into the history of porcelain both in China, Europe and... the USA.

As always, I would prefer more focus on training your own models rather than running prebaked ones.

> I will never accidentally create a merge commit

What is the big deal about creating a merge commit? It that because you only merge in `origin` (wherever that lives)?

Dumb question: what are the possibilities for obtaining the same service offered by these data-hungry companies without giving up genetic privacy?

That's not how Wikipedia works. You are not a reliable source about yourself, be it social media, blogs, company websites.

Same for me as well. I just assumed my account was being under potential compromise, changed password, etc.

Uh?

> There was a “gag order” that prevented us from disclosing even the existence of these warrants until now. This was also the reason why we could not update our “Canary”

Seems the exact purpose it was intended for. And they discuss at length why that canary was too broad and how the new one is better.

So buying Pebble was nothing but their previous try at surviving in a challenging wearable market? It's really difficult to wrap my head around these two recent moves in a way that makes sense.
