I’ve been ramping up the game as well. Now besides adblocks, I do almost all my online reading without javascript, I avoid all big tech and big brands, both online and physically, I plan on not getting any new equipment for at least 5 years, and I also buy less stuff in general

At least it wasn’t a deceptive or clickbait title. Let’s give it some credit

And don’t forget one of the main reasons to push for apps: to drain your attention by showing notifications, maximizing your usage of their products

Here to stay, but the industry might collapse if they don’t become profitable, and llms can become a small niche after that, made of people that pay to use or run locally

That worries me… how long until they start using the term terrorist?

In the very end, the good fictions are the more unrealistic ones

I try not to be repetitive with the astronaut meme, but they don’t help. Here we go:

They don’t track you, but you just need to be logged in to make your searches and just trust them not to collect data

With ublock it opens normally. Also by disabling javascript, which is kinda ironic

We used to recommend people to run the newest stuff possible, but we came to a point that maybe it’s better for us to keep with older tech for a good while

forced to comply.

The language I’d expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing

As datacenters engulf more and more resources, corporations are now pushing a lot of them to third world countries under the excuse of giving us digital sovereignty, and we’re falling for it

That meme never gets old, and often gives me a good laugh. This was the one that gave me the best laugh… so far

The headline subtly implies we were already stupid lol

We tend to overestimate people’s skill in tech. The average user uses what came installed, doesn’t like installing and experimenting apps, uses a browser while logged in to google, taps yes on everything, will install apps when sites ask for it, without even noticing, and will register in every site or app that asks for it, and even give their real email, name, etc

was this research leaked from xcom?

Works, but if we think about it, it’s just a win for big tech, because we’re using their oppressive system and even buying an additional phone

Yes. They have been turning more and more restrictive

Next, they will stop allowing to register with random email without confirmation

Edit: jut found out they already did it lol. Then next step will be to require phone number for all new accounts

Suddenly?
