Ah, yes the “Don’t build the Torment Nexus” 🔁 “Big Tech announces the Torment Nexus” loop

Do you understand what “comparing” means?

And a shortcut to open Microsoft® LinkedIn® at OS level, and what surprises me the most is that uses your default browser instead of always opening it in Edge.

In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that’s only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth’s inner core.

Like everyone using an advertisement company’s browser engine?

[Insert Rich Tech bro] is actually a nazi? I’m shocked. Shocked. Absolutely dumbfounded. /s

It would be more newsworthy to find any tech plutocrat that doesn’t have a far-right view of the world. But I would expect them to find a flying unicorn first.

Don’t be ridiculous. You can add a prompt to the AI to force it to listen to the lawyers.

TLS certs can have one level of wildcard (even let’s encrypt supports this), and creating subdomains programmatically is not exactly black magic - the main blocker from the technical side is that the code to update the DNS is usually not portable between providers, so it’s not adequate for a federated open source project.

Holy mother of false equivalence. Google is not supposed to be a random dude on the Internet, it’s supposed to be a reference tool, and for the most part it was a good one before they started enshittifying it.

Are you comparing things that are physically limited by nature to something that is made artificially limited by a trade cartel?

If that’s the case it’s a particularly stupid MBA. Between the companies part of social security and healthcare, mandatory vacation days, virtually unlimited sick days, maternity leave, paternity leave, the ridiculous amount of public holidays in Bavaria, and stronger enforcement of overtime pay, the effective cost per working hour in Munich is not going to be much cheaper.

China is not keeping tiktok for money.

That should happen regardless. The main issue with tiktok is not the concept, it’s the recommendation algorithm and the agenda behind it.

One of the effects of capitalism is that people are conditioned to think as growth in quantity is the end goal of all human activity.

This makes it harder to realize that, as far as the Fediverse is concerned, at very least, Lemmy and Mastodon have achieved viable self-sustaining networks and that driving inorganic growth by targeting users in other platforms would reduce the viability of the network because it makes onboarding new users harder. An example of this even inside reddit was when a subreddit got a sudden large influx of new subscribers they invariably lost what made them stand out in the first place.

“unintended”

Most people wouldn’t think of them if you ask them to name a battery maker point blank.
