you get lemmy silver for it.
I hope they understand soon why we have ALL of those tweaks and adblockers. Because vanilla youtube SUCKS, Ads everywhere, not customizable and tracking even if you are paying.
Meta and Open Source doesnt sound right.
idk if this is a good thing or bad… because you never expected it to have it. Next they integrate copilot into it and it eats up cpu like its toast.
It was the solution for the crap Microsoft force pushes to your device.
Simple, Extendable and secure linux.
If this is true, then we should prepare to be shout at by chatgpt why we didnt knew already that simple error.
Same, its just like everywhere enshitification of companies who try to get more profitable by spying,advertising and many anti consumer practices. Linux just stays good. and / or if you dont like your distribution just swap to another, its easy :D
I doubt that really but if you trust them good.
and Nordvpn or Expressvpn isnt even private so… its paid but you still give all your data to them.
and selling it with an extra apple logo is the newest thing.
It depends on where you live, in Europe ad blockers NEEDS to be allowed on such platforms, i would guess he lives outside and gets punished for using a more open browser
Firefox, is just a REAL alternative, it is more human focused, it is owned by a less evil corporation ( I know chromium is MIT, but they can just remove it and everybody is fucked )
The general public is ignorant and has the lack of interest in their privacy or in general in the internet. They just want to know whats the weather or funny cat videos.
The companies make their software so bloated because they want to sell you the “ad free”/deluxe experience for extra money.
They dont have the morales of you buy it you own it. See the gaming industry, the movie industry even the car industry all subscriptions, ads, data hoarding and telemetry all of what it is not necessary for any industry, if they did a good job and a good product. But as they just make a “warranty” hopping hardware/software, that just gets you over the warranty/refund period and then spontaneous dies because of some electronic that was especially not there just to destroy the product after x years. See “The Crew” from ubisoft, users “bought” the game after few years a sequel came out and ubisoft just did most terrible thing you could do and just unplugged “The Crew” and made it unplayable, and even had the audacity to remove evidence by removing them from players playstation libraries and no refund possible.
They deliberately made that game a online only game (even this could and should have run perfectly offline) and then kill it after few years to force users to play newer games. Imagine this in the N64 era, the publishers would have gotten sued and defamed for this crap they would have done.
Then they ask themselves why is piracy back and even stronger than before, they just need to open their eyes and do their job.
In short: Dont be afraid to live in a futuristic dystopia, we are living in one already.
