and wonder why people keep using that pile of trash when there are numerous better alternatives.

It’s simple. because they are good consumers.

the advertising industry taught them well.

how did you get free premium for 6 years?

Disillusion about what? does not seem like that user has written anything out of illusions.

I don’t give a fuck about your opinions on my takes lol.

but maybe you should when precisely nobody values what you say

nobody said it was a good place. nobody painted a rosie view of it. we can admit when things get worse.

I wonder why do you have the worst takes whenever I see your name. why are you attacking those that are taken advantage of? whats in it for you for attacking this user?

The spine is removed

how accurate

I’m happy enough we got on a platform that is at the very least e2ee

that’s mostly just a myth. tbh I would prefer imessage over whatsapp, if I could run an imessage bridge.

don’t they?!

in a sense… I know some people like this

the savings on operational costs will go directly to the shareholders

and the mandatory microphone with cellular connection, for automated emergency calls or something like that

it may be 100x more acceptable, but 100 times 0 is still 0.

they are already required to publish the kernel source code for the device, so porting an alternative system should be possible, and this directive might make it illegal to lock down the software from being replaced. but there is still a loophole around drivers, as those are implemented through a “hardware abstraction layer” on android.

not so sure about that. fediverse servers could end up fined for not applying these labels

Windows being a centrally controlled OS should be better at this than Linux and yet they aren’t!

that’s what I was thinking too, but to be fair historically linux wasn’t a GUI centered world, so there were not much core system GUIs that could become obsolete

Its chill and relaxed and has humor and no algorithms.

that’s what makes it better. more communities would be easier to solve than on a brand new platform that doesn’t have any already.

yes and I don’t like it.

are you changing settings frequently? if not, settings should be stored on the on board memory and it will continue working on linux

that runs on Chrome/Chromium (and maybe one day Firefox ?) using the WebUSB API.

Please don’t bring webusb to firefox. It’s just a security liability. only use is for tools made out of mistakes. the web should never have direct access to usb devices and the filesystem.

People would riot.

lol they would not. it is not convenient.

So if even the “professionals” are not really doing much, why would any individual nurture the thought that THEY could do better?

Because they think the luck factor gives them a chance. they are gambling addicts.
