It’s never been about data privacy. Never.

It’s always been about control. Always?

Snape: “Always.”

You can say the same about the whole entertainment industry then. You just prefer other things than short form, visual content.

Our right is to not purchase the products that require us to give access to our data.

You can’t hear how that sounds? Congratulations, you are allowed to NOT buy something.

You’re not even told when they steal your data, because there’s not even a rule for that either.

What rights do you have in Europe that we don’t have in the US?

Easy. Privacy.

Right to our data. Freedom to choose an App Store, search engine etc for our phones. Geo-locking is illegal for our digital services. We could continue?

Lol, I’ve no idea what .ml user even means. I chose an instance with no second thought. They just had a Stardew Valley community I liked.

Already is, but should we compare US and China in terms of censorship?

Do it. Let the US be a closed censored state like it desperately wants to be.

They’ll even put the hashtag #freespeach when they deliver their ban.

Yeah for sure, but the US has taken a sharp turn to the right in the last 4 years, and especially the last 6 months.

Some countries in the EU might also vote more right, but nothing compared to the States.

The whole world is not moving right in the same way as the US right now.

In Europe we get more rights, and in the US you loose your right to abortion entirely.

The US is now trying to take Panama, Canada and Greenland, which sounds alot like dictatorships like Russia and China.

So no, no one else in the western world is moving towards that. But I’m sure both Musk and Zuckerberg want you to see it that way on their platforms.

I know gaming has gotten better, but I still run into trouble. It “just works” on Windows.

I know this sub, and basically most of Lemmy, are pro Linux. But honestly? It’s not as good as Windows and macos for everyday folk. We are kidding ourselves.

It CAN do anything they can, but it’s way too hard, and you might have to code your own drivers for some of it.

You pay for it to just work, and that’s why I 100% get why you pay for an OS.

Note: I don’t think anyone feel like they even pay for their OS, if it’s not enterprise. It’s preinstalled, nobody thinks further than that.

China probably have more hope for the future than US right now.

M-series chip might be the biggest leap in newer time in computers. I think that’s pretty well made by Apple at least.

What did Meta innovate? AI profiles?

Imagine if that meant in the people’s best interest.

Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.

Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.

Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it’s not.

It’s never been about being the good guy. It’s about control.

No way TikTok will sell it WITH the algorithm. They can nerf it hard before that, and they will acquire a thing worse than YT Shorts.

Seems like they watch Twitter and how they get away with being next level scummy and want to make this the new normal.

There’s not even a good rival to Facebook. It’s a shitshow and people use it anyway.

Exactly my point in my comment above the other.
