Wtf is this thinking.

Open Ai wouldn’t use something or someone without consent? There’s a plethora of lawsuits and evidence that they did that with pretty much every medium out there.

I dislike this sentiment. Just because something is FOSS or open source, doesn’t mean it’s not harvesting your data or doing something nefarious.

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

I rarely see that,. But what I see all the time is Linux lovers being toxic fanboys trying to shove their “passion” down everyone’s throat. Also, 99% of them being wrong about what it can “offer”.

Its a pure superiority complex fanbase.

Or keep all communities public and stop using walled garden communities full stop. Along with keeping forum threads alive for easier documentation and searchability.

Okay, wow.

You do know rent is just someone with a mortgage on a house too right? (Paid off or not)

And if that landlords mortgage goes up, that will also make the rent they charge go up. ( Often far more than the rent, as it’s percentage related. So, if your friend was renting, he’d be even worse off…

So, what you’re saying is… Is house rates went up on his mortgage right?

And because of that he became poor?

So you’re saying your right with the assumption that if he rented his rent wouldn’t also double??

Absolutely is. It’s fucking outstanding how big corps are eating it up.

Alrogithm corp = nothing new, boring low evaluation

Change it’s name to:

AI corp= 1 BILLION DOLLARS!

AI isn’t new. Algorithms “are” ai. All apps always used it. But it’s changed from algorithms to AI.

Lemmy users don’t respond well to reasonable criticism or facts.

Only toxic and stupid comments allowed.

I don’t know much about Friendica, does it have a website/pwa that I can try?

Or does it need a party to create a site like Lemmy?

I love Lemmy, but it’s quickly becoming a vacuum chamber of blind hate for certain people and topics.

While yah, some of that statement is bs. Not all of it is false.

Shit like “JusT ENabLE PRoTon!” Is ridiculously simplistic and not how anything works. Otherwise every game everywhere would just do it.

I class myself as a power user, other than Galaxy Store (which is also seem mostly as bloatware) is not offered on any non-samsung phone set up.

The Amazon App Store is acceptable but also gated

That doesn’t sound like any main stream user can access that.

Why are you mad about this?

Google absolutely does.

Name me 4+ more Android app stores you can use?

Okay? And physical stores don’t? This isn’t news and doesn’t address your claim whatsoever? It doesn’t compare spotify vs indi labels.

Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.

Wohh there, that’s a lot of claims with 0 proof.

Can yo source any of that?

You’re completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.

I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They’re doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren’t self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.

Linux one, I wasn’t aware of but that does suck.

Unfortunately, due to the behaviours of the audience they are trying to gain that is likely the best and cost effective way to gain new users. But I do totally agree their launcher sucks ass and needs work.

Care to elaborate why you’re calling them Evil Games?

They are better for developers via unreal engine.

They are better for both developers and publishers via the markets lowest cut of earnings via their store front.

They pay well to try break steams monopoly. If anything, steam are the bad guys via their extortionate cut. (30%)

They are better for indie Devs on Fortnight compared to Roblox.

They do everything better than most… so place your anger correctly. I’m sick of people hating on epic while they’re the only company trying to beat the monopolys…
