  • Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10

    Jump

  • Microsoft believes if they worsen the enshitification of Windows 10, more people will just upgrade to 11 quicker.

    I decided to move to Linux and my other family went with Macbooks.

  • How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse?

    Jump

  • The best I've got is, it's complicated.

    This should be my line!

  • The USS Fubar

    Jump

  • In truth, if I am captain everyone is fubar!

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.

    Jump

  • they don't care and can't be bothered to look for a better way.

    This implies they are fine with it by tacit agreement.

    Jump

  • My jaw dropped when I saw that. Not sure how many people are aware if it.

    Jump

  • Samsung is also trying to make its ACR data more valuable for ad targeting, including through a deal signed in December with analytics firm Experian.

    This should add to their profits.

    Jump

  • People deserve better and should expect/demand better.

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?

    Jump

  • Overall my opinion is irrelevant, however, I think there is a huge difference in knowing a person votes vs how a person votes. The how should not be public, imo.

    Jump

  • Average users will not have the knowledge or patience for work arounds.

    Imo, the larger problem seems to be the majority of users appear to be fine with ads and data collection just to watch a movie or series.

  • "Firefox Home Content" (new tab page) pinned websites have been reset. Extension alternative?

    Jump

  • There used to be a good one called Tabliss. Not sure if it is still available. Very customizable.

  • Do you know anyone who wants an AI phone?

    Jump

  • Imo, the current meaning for AI is just another way for companies to take even more of your data and embed more invasive technologies.

    Edit: No thanks

  • A bipartisan data-privacy law could backfire on small businesses − 2 marketing professors explain why.

    Jump

  • We know of no rigorous study showing that toughened digital marketing privacy policies produced tangible economic benefits for anyone, let alone lower-income consumers.

    You do not need a study to see the numerous headlines of companies having their data breached of your personal information they did not even have permission to collect.

    I suppose the significant amount of money spent on fines, repairs, lawsuits, ransomware do not count.

  • You can steal expertise from anyone in the world, do you do it and from who?

    Jump

  • I would not consider that theft. More a passing of the torch.

  • Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rules

    Jump

  • The judge said it was a monopoly but there does not seem to be any consequences at this time if ever.

    Mehta’s conclusion that Google has been running an illegal monopoly sets up another legal phase to determine what sorts of changes or penalties should be imposed to reverse the damage done and restore a more competitive landscape.

    The potential outcome could result in a wide-ranging order requiring Google to dismantle some of the pillars of its internet empire or prevent it from paying to ensure its search engine automatically answers queries on the iPhone and other devices. Or, the judge could conclude only modest changes are required to level the playing field.

  • Car Privacy is Shit

    Jump

  • Hardening cars is wild west right now.

    The cars should not need to be hardened. That is what needs to stop, imo!!

  • Can GPT-4o Be Trusted With Your Private Data?

    Apple in Talks to Bring Ads to Apple TV+

    Jump

  • Paying for ads is a terrible idea companies have forced into the narrative, without users really caring.

    I choose not to pay for ads.

  • My experience switching from Android to iPhone

    Jump

  • I like Apple Maps at the moment because it is not currently packed with ads or suggestions.

    I am fortunate enough to live in an area the directions are very accurate.

  • Senators Expose Car Companies’ Terrible Data Privacy Practices.

    Jump

  • People have become accustomed to the corporate and government invasion of their lives little by little. This will most likely continue until it is too late.

    A sad world indeed.
