It is more like the data could make money in the future but is not making money right now so they don’t have infinite money for storage. If they had I am sure they would be happy to increase free storage limits.

These companies hoard data they might have an use for but not even know how yet. Training AI and shit. Deleting stuff ain’t in their dictionary.

For economists (and business) students it isn’t a graphing calculator but same thing with HP12c (financial calculator). But it is only like 40 dollars.

Or when r/all wasn’t filled with Reddit soap-opera content in AITAH, TIFU, relationshipadvice, etc which are clearly fanfic and everyone pretends like they are real.
I just saved two homeless kids from being run over by a firetruck am I the asshole?

Imagine Reddit does this next lmao one day you open up and all your real life social media are linked to your u/Lick_My_Fuckhole profile, your coworkers see you as “people you may know” on their profiles. Neat

Ight, been a long time I haven’t played console games so I forgot about those. Otherwise everything else I do on my laptop or phone just fine.
- Comment on Is TV Dead? Global TV Shipments Hit a Decade Low in 2023 8 months ago:
I haven’t had TV at home for over 7 years now. Never miss it. I thought most peoole would do the same but surprised to see everyone still cares about watching TV broadcasts for some reason. The internet is much better.

I think fediverse platforms could have the option to call for a vote in defederating.
Meaning, idk, users who have been active for the past X months on the instance get notified about the admins wanting to defederate from some instance, then the users get to check out the instance themselves and vote yes or no to defederate.
To be clear, I am not saying this should be “mandatory”, I am saying instance admins could have the option to call for a vote if and when they want to.
So you could decide to join an instance that vows to go the democratic way if you want to. Nothing would bind the admins to always call for a vote except their own word tho. Or you could not care about it at all and join an instance that also doesn’t care.

Yeah I love it when people say “if you don’t pay you are the product” as if paying for youtube premium, google one, reddit premium or spotify will stop them from harvesting your data haha that’s how naive we were back when we thought data was collected only for ads.

The concept of some people doesn’t mean all people is difficult for you.
If you stop trying to force all Linux users to have the same opinion just because we use the same OS that’d make a lot of sense wouldn’t it?

The irony of the dude failing to see the point behind decentralized distros when commenting on Lemmy, in the Fediverse. Why is he not on Reddit?

I mean, a lot of people encourage others to use linux online because we like linux and think it is good but… Many of us do not really care if it goes mainstream or not, it really isn’t important. There is enough people in the ecosystem to keep it alive as it is.
For me, I activelly do not want Linux to be big, we will lose many of the advantages, especially in the security and privacy area, if Linux gains more traction.
No “linuxbro” is willing to accept it will never be for the average user? Many of us more than accept and don’t want Linux to be that ;)

- Comment on Usage Of Elon Musk’s X Dropped 30% In The Last Year, Study Suggests 8 months ago:
It will take someone really smart to figure this out without requiring some form of identity confirmation (which would be horrible imo), like using credit cards or (even worse) government digital IDs (I live in a country where we have a gov ID app which can be used to sign documents and confirm ID online but if I had to use it on Lemmy or any other social media I’d just fuck off).

If peoole sets up their own instances with 100% LLM bots how would we even know they are bots to defederate? The AIs are too realistic. Only giveaway would be the ones dumb enough to make accounts post/comment 24/7 with seconds between each comment.

But also many Linux users at home may have to use windows at work so it balances out I guess?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Down here in Brazil desktops/laptops with Linux are a thing on most mainstream electronics stores. Have been for at least two decades b/cs I remember seeing those as a kid in the 2000s. Because poverty so the stores always have the cheaper options and the ones with Linux are cheaper than windows. Sometimes you can find the exact same configuration but the Linux version is like 200-400 BRL cheaper.
But what most people would do here is buy the Linux desktop to then install pirated versions of windows.
