  • The only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you'll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.

  • The Guardian is no exception when it comes to sensationalism and not presenting research findings objectively.

  • How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?

  • We cannot forget that 3dfx went under when they bought STB to manufacture their own video cards instead of letting their board partners do it.

  • 3dfx had market dominance in 90s but then basically committed suicide.

    Very true. They committed suicide when they bought STB so that they could manufacture their own video cards. They didn't just focus on chip R&D, they needed to manufacture and market their own video cards instead of letting board partners do it.

  • No fines for big grocers that promoted imported food as Canadian

    Jump

  • I don't get it. Without the fines, grocers will just continue to use misleading signage. And in this vague of boycotts, it's important to trust where the product is coming from. They need to be hit where it hurts (money).

  • Nice! I installed Linux Mint on my father's computer and I haven't been tech support since. It's been quiet days compared to when he was using Windows.

  • U.S. suspends visas for Palestinian passport holders, officials say.

  • The United Nations no longer deserves to be hosted in the United States. As the country becomes more authoritarian, the country has lost that right. It's time to move it elsewhere.

  • Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

    Jump

  • The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.

    We need to keep this momentum going.

  • The problem will be to convince your friends and family to use Signal, and that's really not obvious.

  • Meet the water sommeliers: they believe H₂O can rival wine – but would you pay £19 a bottle?

  • Capitalism at its finest. As alcohol is going out of fashion, people invent new product categories to profit from, and gullible people are brainwashed by marketing to embark on this trend.

  • Intel faces investor backlash for selling 10% stake to Trump admin at discount

  • I've been building computers since 1999, and I've noticed that the industry is cyclical. I've purchased CPUs from both Intel and AMD. We need Intel to succeed, otherwise AMD will dominate the x86 processor market.
