⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk under investigation by US agency for $44bn takeover of Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
he can't win this, can't he?

"i want to buy this."
"NOOO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
"ok, i won't buy it."
"NOOO, NOW YOU HAVE TO!"
"ok, i bought it."
"WE WILL NOW INVESTIGATE YOU!"

one does not have to like him to see the pattern behind this, just like the farce with investigating spacex for "discrimination" for not hiring migrants and foreigners even tho the law explicitly forbids the company to do so because of national security concerns.

no one has to use any of this. if there's a home appliance that comes with "smart" in it's name, i'm not even looking at it. you broaden the topic too much, we were talking about computers in general and google in detail, now we're at lighbulbs, you're moving goal posts.

doesn't matter what you think when it's not relevant. not every internet connected device is sending personal date of it's user to google or any other adspace reseller.

why would i buy a machine i have to "hack" in the first place to use it as i need it to when i can have a similar or better machine for less money without any restrictions?

move out of the city, away from any night light and then just ignore the occasional ring of dots that takes up like 0.00003% of the night sky for the average stargazer; why does everyone now pretend to be copernicus?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge new satellite outshines nearly every star in the sky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
engineers and the military talked about space junk for obvious reason, but no one lamented working satellites because the antagonist celeb of the month launched them into space.

... and by that, a chromebook is a great extension within this business model since it leaves you know choice but to use the botnet :)

you're confusing things, i talk about not handing over my internet profile and it's associated data to a conglomerate to make money off it, you talk about anonymity. two different pair of shoes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge new satellite outshines nearly every star in the sky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
early millennial. it's just funny how many ppl start to become critical about "space junk" since they realized that "twitter man bad" has some of them, ignoring, how dependent they are on all that stuff flying around there. love your sidestep to the current day topic, tho.

if you love being the product, go ahead. i haven't used any gapp in years and don't feel like i'm missing something.

google is a machine learning, data harvesting botnet most ppl opt in consensual.

i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that "we" are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want's a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Intros Chromebook Plus Devices With More Power, Apps and AI for $399⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
i was talking about the botnet that is google itself, with chromebooks being a literal physical part of it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Intros Chromebook Plus Devices With More Power, Apps and AI for $399⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
impressive! the ultimate botnet machine!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
"circlejerk" is the magic word. it's funny how many threads are just meta discussion about the platform and why "the old ones" are trash and doomed to fail, like some ppl have to convince each other over and over again that it's the others that miss out.

who subbed to d+ anyways? i can understand if it's for younger kids with the cartoons and all, but the rest is just horribly bad. maybe the old fox catalogue could cut them some slack, but even xfiles and 24 could save them on the long run. star wars and marvel are dead, too.

the metaverse is not a game.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metaverse: What happened to Mark Zuckerberg's next big thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
AR/VR is a hard line for me that i won't cross. doesn't matter if its facebook or apple or whoever. i don't want it, i don't ask for it, i don't see any benefit coming from it. i can accept it as a gaming gimmick, but aside of that, it's a literal dystopia.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
mod/admin/whover was behind the support mail address told me, that someone made a complaint about my account (they refused to tell me what the problem was) and that they unlisted/shadowbanned me from the servers public timeline.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
i've been on two instances since last fall: one mastodon, one pleroma.

on the mastodon one i found out by accident, that i was "shadowbanned" from it's own public timeline. inquiring why this happend, the mods didn't told me. when i asked then that i would like to know what i did "wrong" and if they could lift this, they said "no". i deleted my account after that.

the pleroma one was even worse because literally on day one i was zerged by some american internet rightwingers because i posted something they didn't agree with. i deleted my account after that.

what do you suggest, how many times should i move/delete my account until i found an instance that at least gives me the twitter treatment instead of just doing random policy?

proton suite. i'm using it since 2016 and never looked back.

this is never going to happen unless musk looks for a reason to shut xitter down. like so many times before he's talking out loud what he's thinking right now, creating a massive migrane among the guys still running the site and everyone who is financially invested in it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
let's not pretend mastodon is a viable alternative at this time. sure, it's not an ad-algo-hellscape yet (meta will change that tho) but you're at the mercy of whatever powertripping admin you have to deal on the instance you're on. unless you tune into the echo chamber most instances are, you're not going to have interesting conversations. it's very slow, has barebone features and there is a lack of actually interesting oc posting people on the masto side of the fediverse.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
one of the main reasons i prefer threema over signal is that threema does not run on any of my personal data to get started.

yeah, there was totally no lobbying involved and the eu want's this for the greater good and innocent convenience of the european citizens. (btw, standard telegram messages aren't encrypted in the first place)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
you call it "some tweaking" when in reality for 99,5% of android users it would be the same to tell them to get better performance on their cars if you just switch out the engine, do a custom paint job und replace the computer", just to have them finding out, it's not even possible because on most models the hood cannot be opened.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
i don't want google or meta to have my data, that's why i don't use their messenger services and i don't want some brussles boomers enable them to get access to them.
