“How many eggs you’re eating per week?”

“I’m vegan.”

Bruh I can’t.

are users willing to put up with that.

No. People are used to stuff being free.

Most people are lazy and not willing to make their life less comfortable. If they were, a lot of problems in big tech would not even exist. That’s why people still buy apple, use WhatsApp and microsoft instead of the free alternatives - because its less comfortable.

They want change, but are unwilling to be a factor in causing that change.

Organic Maps. After switching to graphene, I quickly found plenty of apps replacing the “defaults” I had on stock android, however, a good app for maps was impossible to find until I stumbled over that one. Great UI, local maps, even has a navigation feature. Completely replaces google maps for me.

I’m really excited about your explanation how a pump and dump is going to work when openAI is not even publicly traded. So who’s gonna pump and dump what exactly?

True. Now I’m more triggered by the mere existence of some bugs because I can’t fucking fathom how they’d even exist in the first place.

I don’t think that’s true. They are using the index of bing, but the search results are not. At least that’s what I heard, no idea if it’s factual or not.

You’d be better off selfhosting something like searxNG

Nah, if you voluntarily join a tankie instance, you are the one who’s stupid.

lemmy.ml with the stupid authoritarian takes again.

I like this. I don’t think I need a large company fact-checking anything tbh. They already got too much influence and power, I don’t need them to control the narrative even more.

While I certainly agree that it’s comical to expect a company to 100% support your beliefs, I’m also in favor of not using a company if the beliefs of said company are completely contrary to yours. That’s why I’m not using stuff like google, microsoft, amazon etc.

Voting with your wallet is a very good thing and I fully support people who do it.

Only someone from lemmy.ml could make up such a idiotic statement.

My point was not that apple is a protector of your data, obviously they’re not. No large corporation is. The entire ecosystem of google and facebook would not work without data.

My point was that corporations in the west actually have a chance of fighting against subpoenas and other ways the government might force them to hand out user data, whereas china will probably just make the CEO disappear mysteriously if they don’t comply immediately.

No.

Many companies in the western world will not freely give your information to law enforcement and will even actively fight it. We saw that with apple, we saw that with signal and specifically in germany, we had some other smaller profile cases that have fought law enforcement.

In China, companies are forced to give the government free access to all of its information without any subpoena or anything needed. Which is why many western companies can’t do business in china themselves without having a Chinese partner company that handles it for them (Blizzard needed NetEase, for example)

Lemmy is Anti-Tiktok, but Lemmy is even more Anti-America

Getting banned from .ml means you’re still sane. That’s a good thing.

Meta hasn’t invented anything ever and their only attempt failed miserably. All of their successful products are bought from competitors.

I hate apple like the next Linux evangelist, but meta is just as bad.

Lmao calm down AI can’t even reliably differentiate cats from dogs

Not that much of a difference. Instances tend to have the same mods in many of their instances, leading to the same biases. Also, the political alignment on most instances is similar across all communities on that instance. I got banned in communities I’ve never been active in just because a mod banned me in all communities he’s a mod in.
