Same applies for Palestinians, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. You’d be totally fine with that.

right? right?

That’s a lot of black to make sure the clothes glue to your skin in the sun.

On Lemmy, it’s a sin to make money off your work, especially if it is opensource core projects providing paid infrastructure/support. You can only ask for donations and/or quit. No in-between.

Piracy from the big guy who’s exploiting little guys to make and sell products is fair.

Pirating things off the little guy, who’s barely making a living is how the little guys stop making content on their own, and will instead opt to work for the big guy who can guarantee a livelihood, no matter how small. If you think you as a society isn’t contributing to it then just look around.

And It is only getting worse. While you can fantasize about it, indie-anything who get lucky are exceedingly rare for a reason. But you won’t stop removed about how everything from the Big Bad has gone to shit. It couldn’t totally be because everyone thinks they’re entitled to others hard work, because they paid for “the internet”.

But as always, entitled pricks are how we end up on ever more convulsive state of the world, no matter which side you’re on. So carry on, ig.

Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

Google is just starting to capitalize big on Android with its strangle hold. They’ve recently introduced tracking your device while it’s off. Scoped storage, where it excludes itself. Stock Pixel devices cannot use other gallery apps to view their images. Google requires developers to submit their key to sign their apps for Google Play Store. Google has copied almost all popular productivity apps to push their own above everyone else. And so on and so on.

Their AI stuff is probably analyzing your data on-device and sending aggregate to their servers. Which they can conflate and market as “not sending your data” but it just means not sending the raw data.

So I really doubt they’re losing interest in Android.

Guy has always been a far right-wing cuck

why would they want to anger their global surveillance channels?

The never ending cycle of rich countries grandstanding and shaming poor countries into tough regulations, green initiatives, environment preservation to slow down their progress in every sector after benefiting off of massive scale no-consequence exploitation of their own.

Also I remember while teamspeak was paid, discord was free.

Itsfoss is blogspam and often have many mistakes and wrong info. People should really stop posting links from them.

Most professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.

can?

must’ve been a Russian psyops. USA isn’t that incompetent in itself. oh wait…

It doesn’t stop wanks from blaming it on Putin, still. LMAO

I mean the US gets to shape the narrative everywhere else by making the social companies to do so, but the people removed about how they’re being manipulated in return is always going to be hilarious.

Lemmy is being overrun by brainwashed wankies more than anything.

There have been a few narratives this election which seem to have been tested out on here weeks before getting to Facebook and reddit. “Blue MAGA” was a pretty obvious one they seemed to workshop on Lemmy

can you post some links?

A surge in new oil and gas production in 2024 threatens to unleash nearly 12bn tonnes of planet-heating emissions, with the world’s wealthiest countries – such as the US and the UK – leading a stampede of fossil fuel expansion in spite of their climate commitments, new data shared exclusively with the Guardian reveals.

Internet is not a place for public discourse, it never was. it’s the game of numbers where people brigade discussions and make it confirm to their biases.

Post something bad about the US with facts and statistics in US centric reddit sub, youtube video or article, and see how it divulges into brigading, name calling and racism. Do that on lemmy.ml to call out china/russia. Go to youtube videos with anything critical about India.

For all countries with massive population on the internet, you’re going to get bombarded with lies, delfection, whataboutism and strawman. Add in a few bots and you shape the narrative.

There’s also burying bad press with literally downvoting and never interacting.

Both are easy on the internet when you’ve got the brainwashed gullible mass to steer the narrative.

Everyone prefers free until they have to contribute to actually making things better. Most popular opensource project are funded by corporations for a reason.

And now they go silent.

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

If you’re aligned with the west, anything goes, without consequences. If not, you’re a terrorist whether you like it or not.

Techcrunch has basically been an ad network for companies who want to promote themselves. Other open source projects probably don’t have a budget to pay for an a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶ ad spot.
