Wtf is this thinking.

Open Ai wouldn’t use something or someone without consent? There’s a plethora of lawsuits and evidence that they did that with pretty much every medium out there.

Nah you’re good. People just like to feel smart/feel like they did a “gotcha” when they “prove” someone wrong who spoke in a absolute. When it was blatantly obvious it was implied to not be an absolute term

I dislike this sentiment. Just because something is FOSS or open source, doesn’t mean it’s not harvesting your data or doing something nefarious.

Wtf is your problem copy and pasting your comment everywhere? No one keeps asking for your opinion on each comment.

When?

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

I rarely see that,. But what I see all the time is Linux lovers being toxic fanboys trying to shove their “passion” down everyone’s throat. Also, 99% of them being wrong about what it can “offer”.

Its a pure superiority complex fanbase.

Or keep all communities public and stop using walled garden communities full stop. Along with keeping forum threads alive for easier documentation and searchability.

So your answer to “not owning” anything is to borrow the “thing” from someone/something else that owns it?

With your library example literally not being possible under the dystopic future OP projects.

I’m sorry to hear about the fire, but I think you missed the point.

The reason for a loss matters and the emotions around the reason also change. Just having blank acceptance is dangerous and people/corporatations would love to take advantage of you if you just accept bullshit.

Okay, wow.

You do know rent is just someone with a mortgage on a house too right? (Paid off or not)

And if that landlords mortgage goes up, that will also make the rent they charge go up. ( Often far more than the rent, as it’s percentage related. So, if your friend was renting, he’d be even worse off…

So, what you’re saying is… Is house rates went up on his mortgage right?

And because of that he became poor?

So you’re saying your right with the assumption that if he rented his rent wouldn’t also double??

Absolutely is. It’s fucking outstanding how big corps are eating it up.

Alrogithm corp = nothing new, boring low evaluation

Change it’s name to:

AI corp= 1 BILLION DOLLARS!

AI isn’t new. Algorithms “are” ai. All apps always used it. But it’s changed from algorithms to AI.

Lemmy users don’t respond well to reasonable criticism or facts.

Only toxic and stupid comments allowed.

I class myself as a power user, other than Galaxy Store (which is also seem mostly as bloatware) is not offered on any non-samsung phone set up.

The Amazon App Store is acceptable but also gated

That doesn’t sound like any main stream user can access that.

Why are you mad about this?

Google absolutely does.

Name me 4+ more Android app stores you can use?

If you donate to the devs, of course they still have to pay taxes. That’s still income.

Okay? And physical stores don’t? This isn’t news and doesn’t address your claim whatsoever? It doesn’t compare spotify vs indi labels.

Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.
