I never judged the users.

Like an advertisement campaign you mean.

Even more people can’t get Linux to run.

I use even more! (j/k)

80% of people using Android.

I never said I was against closed source software. Learn to read before you try to engage.

If you don’t stand up for what you believe in you might as well have never existed.

And how is introducing ads and tracking (Google’s stuff) not malicious?

Bet they do. Because of shitty devs.

The quality of users went downhill fast. They want ads, so we’ll get ads. Everything on Lemmy’s “all” is about Sync. It’s marketing. People love that yes.

Just feel sorry for all the people who voluntarily put in their work. And then some dipshits start paying some front end dev 100 dollars who’s piggybacking off of the work thousands of volunteers put in.

If you think they’re worth it that’s up to you. It won’t do the community any good. It already went downhill today.

You sound like you’re married to them.

Nothing wrong with being critical, especially when it comes to ads and devs piggybacking off of open source software and communities.

I don’t use Google crap.

That’s why you pay.

Lemmy doesn’t have ads.

People love getting deepthroated by Google, because all the others are more bad. Or as bad. Or almost as bad.

I’m sorry you have to deal with that. My mom is like that too.

Yet the one most popular is infested with ads, tracking, and subscriptions. Not giving back or contributing to the opensource devs at all.

I blocked that community as it felt the dev has paid actors trying to promote its $100 price tag and people are blindly falling for it.

And Soulseek.

If it dies that’s it alright.

Imagine the web as a playground where some big companies like Apple and Google act as gatekeepers, deciding who gets access to certain features or sites. They use something called “Private Access Tokens” to check if your device is allowed. It’s like showing a special ticket to play with the cool toys.

The problem is, this system could limit our choices and freedom. Only devices approved by these companies would get full access, while others might be treated suspiciously or blocked. It could stifle competition and innovation because only approved browsers and operating systems would be allowed.

Moreover, attestation means they control what we do with our own devices. Customization might not be allowed, and they could tighten the rules later on. This could change the web for the worse and hurt competition and user choices, making it less open and free.

Absolutely correct. I myself don’t have children, don’t have a car, and I don’t eat meat. Just pick any of those 3 and try to deal with the reactions to it. People are big children.
