In order to create a “viable” search engine business, Apple would be required to “sell targeted advertising,” which is “not a core business” for the company and would go against its “longstanding privacy commitments.”
Not a CORE business. Hmmmmm.
My same reaction. I bet most people don’t even know the term.
But xcom were supposed to be the good ones. Have we been lied all this time?
Congrats! It can be a difficult choice for some, because of the inconveniences it brings, but it’s well worth it. We all need to ditch the big corporations and be free.
Does anyone know if there’s something similar to universal android debloater for android tvs?
For the first half part of my life, I was a great technology enthusiast, but from the beginning of the second half until now, I’ve been more and more turning into the opposite…
I know the problem isn’t technology itself, but we can’t separate it from how it’s used by companies and people, so being aware of that doesn’t help.
To be fair, we can track abandoned oss because of open repositories, butcan we keep track or estimate the abandoned proprietary software? There are so many companies out there, small and big, abandoning some projects here and there.
This is the first time I see this variation. Loved it!
Isn’t it impressive that we in Brazil sometimes create the best and most simple solutions to problems, but no one will imitate us and will keep insisting in their problematic systems, because we are the third world and supposedly can’t get anything right? It’s sad when we end up replacing our own good things, because even we think we’re inferior in everything and can’t come up with a good solution for anything.
If true, that’s very interesting. A very practical result
No need to make things complicated. I’m from Brazil and I live everyday the consequences of having our data exposed out there by mismanagement and abuse:
There are criminals out there using our data in several ways, like extorting money, taking banking loans in your name, using your credit card online, etc etc etc. We can’t rest in peace
Out of curiosity, is that true, or just your speculation? Are there public data of number of denials per day?
I lost all my data from my router trying to update it using the ui and had to reconfigure everything. I use linux for a long time, but openwrt is on another level
Those threads are so funny. One day, we see people talking against planned obsolescence and the environmental impacts of the tech industry. The other day, the same people are cheering for removal of backwards compatibility and happy to throw away their stuff to buy new ones, and even making peer pressure on the ones who don’t do the same so they feel “antiquated”.
It’s seriously the biggest waste of energy in human existence
Let’s not forget cryptocurrency mining
That’s an interesting perspective. Do you think the same about lemmy? While also decentralized using the sameprotocol, it seems reasonably efficient to me. I’m from a small instance from my country, and the global content is easily available to me.
I just have a lot of trouble explaining how it works to people who aren’t tech savy… this is what I consider the main issue withthe fediverse as a whole.
I’m scared from the possibility of linux going the same way… we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it’s a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.
Being installable directly from fdroid was what made me use it.
Quite funny how that’s true for the software side, but on the hardware side, geeky people (especially on the foss side) are the ones running things until they accumulate failures to a point that no workarounds will do any good anymore.
It’s not competing, but collaborating with climate change
