How about just "don't scan your face"

Sure, but the long list demonstrates how lots of different places are slowly submitting to the idea of just a little less privacy for you so they can keep operating. Only a few are standing up and saying they won't play that game and will take their business elsewhere.

"Don't let others scan your face" might be better.

Plenty of fun legitimate reasons to scan your own face. (I'm on my own D&D mini made fully in house)

Don't scan your face to access your steam library?
Don't scan your face to buy ebooks?

Steams fine and all but its made a lot of people not know how to even play a game that isnt on steam. They dont know how else you get a game. Crazy. Once it enshittifies its gonna be a bad day for those people.

I'm already running instances of Calibre for ebooks and Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts, both paired with Shelfmark, which is kinda like Seerr for audio-/ebooks.

Great plan totally I will show up to Norway or Netherland, they will give my unemployed brokeass a residency, house, and job and a wife to fuck. I forgot I don't even have $10k+ in bank for 4 months o qualify for their visa to get a ticket to get there.

"Ugh, I can't get into my ideal situation so I can't research to find an improved one."

This sounds facetious but I wish you luck in figuring out how to become happy. I would genuinely love to hear how you did it, because it would delight me to learn how someone else finagled their way through modern bureaucracy

Called. Options were: 1. Change my insurance for car, home, etc that I've had for 15 years (I shopped around. Nothing comparably priced). 2. Eat crow, seethe, deal with it. I'm not happy, but what choice really was there? If someone stood in front of you and said they're going to ai scan your face or bill you $1400 a year, what're you going with? 🙃
