I mean I’m aware, but before they were adult children, they were children. the big tech aspect didnt change.

99% of parents need to stop trusting big tech to parent their child for them.

Problem is once one of them do it, all of them do it. Remember having a removable battery? the headphone jack? DVD drives?

the business model works, and its infecting other sectors now.

i will resubscribe when they remove the arbitration clause.

on one hand, fuck Mozilla’s enshitifiation.

on the other hand, this is a pro for custom ROM users. you get the AI automatically stripped out.

in addition to all of that theyre reporting GrapheneOS users to feds for using GrapheneOS https://thecybersecguru.com/news/yoti-grapheneos-sony-playstation-age-verification/

So I find thr argument a bit classist.

Fuck Lowes for purchasing a contract with Palintir’s Flock Cameras. Support local hardware stores & less shitty larger brands.

“all my recent flash drives have had both ports so I can use them with usb a or usb c!”

“WHAT SO I SHOULD JUST TOSS ALL MY OLD HARDWARE?”

no one said that. youre just saying shit. you can still use your usb-a flash drives.

Yeah I feel like Nintendo EU localization usually phones it in from what Ive seen. I love street pass though.

WARRIORS WAY MENTIONED

you know shits about to get real when ambatukum shows up with an army of 9,999,999 strong.

i didnt believe it either until I looked at the cans and the funko pop

Inaction will do nothing. Commenting and complaining is inaction. Get your family on degoogled ROMs. Use Lineage or iode for devices that are supported, have them buy a used pixel for Graphene or Calyx otherwise. Have them complain to lawmakers. The more people who are with us, the less people to tell us to “get over it and be normal”.

Do you always speak like a fox news propagandist or is this more of a hobby for you?

I’m going to guess you weren’t alive for the US pre-walmart.

I dont necessarily agree that people shouldnt have been allowed. It would have been better to educate people on what they are using and how it can be used. I will give you credit on missing when data centers were used for something good. Not how I expected this interaction to end but I’ll take it.

The reason users dont know what they are doing is because corporations simplified the computer to such a degree that users do not need to learn anything about them to begin with.

The current implementation of data centers are inheritly capitalistic. They are not there for anything other than profit. There is no reason not to educate people on what they are actually doing when they connect to the internet, other than profit and power.

There is no reason for me to want a data center to exist in its current form. I will continue to be against them being built until we see them being used for good. (lmfao, good luck in this economy)

Why do they need all that when most things can be done on a simple arm SBC? Most “online resources” dont need to exist to begin with. We dont need 30,000,000 AI generated articles. We don’t need 7,000 different social media sites. We don’t need tracking cookies, advertising, or any other of the stupid bullshit that came with Web 2.0. We were doing fine before corpo shills ruined the internet. ActivityPub is a perfect example of how the internet SHOULD be. A single user instance costs almost nothing at all to host. If you remove the “profit incentive” the internet would be a lot more efficient.
