Why would I spend money on proprietary software that tracks me and sells my data when it’s trivially easy for me to set up a FOSS alternative and actually own the video files myself.

I’m not rich, in fact I’m under the poverty line, even 5$ a month adds up for me. I see no reason to pay to be tracked.

I would still pirate — but most normie pirates wouldn’t.

Most minorities — it’s the middle - upper class straight able bodied white people who are oblivious to it all.

This kind of just looks like an add for that companies AI detection software NGL.

Also they used GPT2 and GPT3 which was dumb and said stupid shit, so it was funny.

Now AI is boring.

Thank god voyager previews image links.

I can’t believe I still have it but I’m going to start actively changing emails on all my old accounts on services I had registered with gmail before I switched.

There are many useful blocklists. But the average user isn’t informed enough to seek them.

Also fun fact the official apple maps app is mostly based on OSM.

Can someone donate a large sum to peertube please

You have been arrested by the FBI for “DDOS”

They still exist. I’m active in one, love it.

I sometimes fantasise about a lemmy like decentralised protocol that works for old school forums.

When I saw this article I was like oh damn if I post it here I’ll get loads of upvotes lmao.

I wish this was the case but the average user is uninformed and can’t be bothered leaving.

Otherwise the bigger service would be lemmy, not reddit.

the market of the fediverse will balance itself out to what the users want.

Just like classical macroeconomics, you make the deadly (false) assumption that users are rational and will make the choice that’s best for them.

Really?

I mean I understand whatsapp has E2E encryption but they sell all your metadata and account data and stuff dont they. Does telegram do worse?

I don’t know. I’m having a much better time getting friends to move to telegram than signal.

I prefer signal, but they all seem to prefer telegram as an alternative.

Not everyone can afford a laptop or a computer and torrenting is a pain in this ass on a phone with low storage.

What?

You do realise the far right is explicitly using tiktok and has been extremely successful there. They have awful nazi shit on it. Just the algorithm doesn’t shove it in your face if you’re a leftist à la Musk.

I’m going to give you a five star review to balance it. (Swiss app store)
