I'm on the website looking at each of their deals. There's no fine print that I can see except this:
"The specially discounted price of US$35.88 is valid for the first 12 months. Then it will automatically be renewed at US$79.95 for 12 months. You can cancel at any time. Renewal pricing subject to change according to terms and conditions."
The terms and conditions may involved some, but it should be visible on the deals page at least when you click through.
I chalk it up to what people can be paid to do in those countries. We already know there are social media influencer accounts based in Asian countries. We have seen farms where it's just cubby after cubby of people trying on clothes and taking pictures and so on.
If they can be paid to lie about and model a bunch of fast fashion clothing and accessories, they can be paid to run sock puppet social media accounts for the purposes of meddling in the politics of another country. And China is and has been an adversary of the USA for decades.
On the positive side though, following all that backlash, Microsoft acknowledged Windows has issues, and as if on cue, the company in a new support article has admitted that there are problems on almost every major Windows 11 core feature. The issues are related to XAML and this impacts all the Shell components like the Start Menu, Taskbar, Explorer, and Windows Settings.
Explorer.exe crash
shelhost.exe crash
StartMenuExperienceHost issues
System Settings silently fails to launch
Application crashes when initializing the XAML views
I have a question. Is the mildly infuriating part for you the part where there is account masquerading as you on the internet, using your words and proliferating data/information essentially in your name?
Or is it that you wanted to deprive the internet at large of whatever advice or information was imparted in that comment and someone else/a bot is reuploading that information without your consent?
Because on the one hand, I agree that using your username and your written comment to validate an account that's likely a bot account is dodgy and underhanded and messed up.
But on the other hand, if that advice is valuable to other people and the intent was to impart that information to others outside of reddit and this is attempt to attribute it to you, rather than an attempt at plagiarism, I'm not sure I would necessarily agree.
But this is unfortunately one of the downside to putting any comments/information on the internet.
The main problem with this (from a stock android perspective) is Google play services. Your private phone/daily driver would literally have to be a non-stock rom or one that doesn't come with Google play services installed at all. Because otherwise Google and other companies linked to them will fingerprint your device and link it that way because those two devices are often in the same place at the same time or on the same network at the same or similar times etc. Then, even when you think you've given the apps no permissions, Google has a habit of turning this stuff on (location data, telemetry etc) and gathering it in the background.
I dunno. I have lots of problems with textures (and textures that feel good as well). Might be ADHD, might just be me being weird. But plates, cups, and silverware especially shouldn't be greasy and if you fry anything you'll get grease everywhere.
Having a diagnosis officially opens up some doors for the world to wait for you. That's one of the major helpful parts of having the diagnosis. It means that you are officially diagnosed with a disability, and that certain allowances would be made for you under the law (if you live in a country with such provisions).
Even without medication, that can make a world of difference and is an important factor in getting an official diagnosis.
Extra time for college or work assignments, a more flexible schedule, a private work space, noise canceling headphones, etc can be beneficial along with the coping mechanisms he's trying to get you to develope in order to facilitate a better management of your condition.
That's probably the conversation you should be having with this therapist. Because if he can't legally give you a diagnosis he should put in a referral for a doctor who can. And if he can give you a diagnosis, I think he should be doing the job you pay him for.
