It may sound a bit cold-blooded of me, but Caiman! You can do better!
That rumor's a real crock, and don't think I amphibian about that, either: honest.

I heard a line in a film tonight, don't call an alligator big mouth until you're the other side of the river

I thought an Alligator wearing a tunic was a snappy dresser?

Is anyone else as tired as I am of every single web-site asking me to allow them to show notifications?
|

I've considered setting up a browser in a VM and saying yes to every notification/push request I get there. I wonder how long it would take for it to become totally unusable because of the notifications coming in.
How many people say yes to them? Must be enough to make it worthwhile.

I'm curious, what happens if you say yes? What's the mechanism?
Really I don't know what happens and too lazy to google a train load of TL;DR

Also tired of ones that want to access your location.

That I have turned off at the OS level. I only allow the Weather tile and maps.google.com to access location. (If I didn't use google's navigator on my phone I'd disallow it as well.)

Why? I often find it helpful. For example, you go to a store's website and if you allow location they can often already pre-select your local store. Not a big deal but a nice first-world luxury.

I use a VPN, so the location is useless. Regardless, I'd rather enter a postal code to select a store. My location is none of their business, particularly when so many of these sites share information with whoever wants it.

What's the harm in that? They share your IP and zip code with someone. So?

My IP is that of a VPN, so it's useless. My mailing address is a UPS store.
I guess it's a just a matter of how much one cares about privacy.

So, even more so, who cares?

That's fair. But to convince me there needs to be some logic behind it, not just emotions.
Are you old enough to remember the white pages? Did you call up and remove yourself?

Ask the Founders why they wrote it into your Constitution.
And you're trolling me.

Privacy? But you even admitted that they can't get your data anyway.  
I notice you dodged the question about the white pages.

There was a time I was in the white pages, but I matured. 
My mobile is still Californian even though I last lived there 15 years ago.

So, this is what I find fascinating. I don't recall anyone ever complaining about a huge book of names, addresses, and phone numbers being handed out for free.
Now with the internet, people are scared over data that can't even be linked to them being shared with someone.
It's not a knock on you and no I am not trolling. I am genuinely amazed at how that has shifted and am very curious as to why. No one seems to know what dangers there might be with linking an ip address with a zip code yet so many people, especially technologically educated people, are so worried about it. I don't understand it which is maybe why it fascinates me.

That explains why you don't answer when I call.
