Now it would be bloody awesome if someone would leak how their data collection in Android works and how much of their privacy policy is actually not just for good PR.

Be the change you want to see. Make some games worth playing and release it as a FOSS and prove it can be a commercial success as well. See how it goes.
Asking people to release their work for free while providing very little incentives other than your own benefit aren't going to convince people who need to put food on the table NOW, without relying on miniscule probability of popularity or success after pouring years of your time.
cough cough
Wake me up when the "Congress" actually decides to take actions not just ask "questions" after the damage is done and money is made.
Seems more like election season shenanigans where the government wants to make a last bit effort of making it seem like they're doing their job but then nothing happens after. Like clockwork.

So they can make a very convincing case for a backdoor, in exchange for his release. And maybe some compensation for continued cooperation. Both come out winning and they get to claim nothing happened.
Government cyber security dealings as usual. or not. who knows?
They're outsourcing many of their workforce abroad. Like Microsoft, I expect more of these "isolated" accidents to happen.
This reads so much like Apple marketing talk. Just call any criticism bullshit and let the anectodes and fanboys circlejerk. Add "Apple also gives cuddly gifts to kids sometimes", and you're golden.

Everyone and their grandmother is writing/blogging about this attack by paraphrasing all the same information.
Need for Clicks 101
Google wants to imitate Apple pricing without the build quality, customer support, or performance to compare. Sales will tank then be on sale half off by Black Friday in some regions.
I'm so glad to read this wasn't some AI. AI filling gaps in history is not something we need.
Administration? Lemmy was built by a guy that denies tiananmen square massacre.
Google values its $1.2 billion contract with the genocidal Israeli government and military more than its own workers
umm, of course? Google is evil, when it comes to making money. They're an US company after all and US is no stranger to killing innocents for profit.
The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
We don't need a shitty youtuber to tell us what we've known for years?
[Duplicate] question. Closed
I'm sensing some Israeli astroturfing going on. Many people are seeing Israel for what it is from since last year. In all this, Israel could use some diversion of attention.
And what better place to concentrate your efforts on other than the rise in islamophoia along with racism in current events. Help dehumanize your enemy abroad. Although the killer wasn't even a muslim, they are still being targeted, even after the facts came out.
Seems very suspicious to me and Israel isn't new to brigading and astroturfing. They in-fact have state-run programmes for it.
feel unwelcome.
This is the basis of systematic oppression in US.
- Freedom of speech to treat minority like shit who will likely be lynched if they speak up in the past. Now when minorities do speak up, and can't be silenced with "traditional means", it's woke.
- Guns to deter minorities who can't afford to. Now minorities can own guns, use police as cartels to kill them with impunity and be promoted.
- Taxes for poor people, and cuts for the rich.
- Two justice systems based on class
- Separation of religion and government, but only for non-christian beliefs
- Portrays itself as science leader, does not really give a fuck about climate change.
- Portrays itself as defenders of democracy, has a well documented history of destroying democracies around the world.
- Supports genocide when it's favorable to them.
They know how to oppress by seeming altruistic with false sense of progress, that only benefit itself, the racists and the rich.
The security issue was found in a development build, not a production release. There were no users to benefit from the CVE, because none were affected. If there were exceptions that were using development builds, it on them.
If you go against Russia/China/North Korea/Iran/India, they send a hitman to assassinate you. If you go against US and its allies, they assassinate your character first and you die in an accident in the prison with the camera footage missing.
And this is if you are actually somewhat popular, if not there are a tons of black sites they where they do Russia/China/North Korea/India shit and their populace will deflect how they are more humane like their life depends on it.
Itsfoss is blogspam and often have many mistakes and wrong info. People should really stop posting links from them.
Yes, this is the "we're the good ones" flex. And anytime they do this, there has to be a big bad boogeyman elsewhere to blame without evidence or consequence.
Better give inkscape more practice.
lol at the "no plan to change at the moment" crap. that ship has already sailed.
Do they publish any of the data from these surveys or use it as an excuse to remove more useful features?
"We listen to our community, so now we're removing about: config access from stable desktop builds to match the mobile version to provide uniform builds, making problems easier to replicate and also provide better security for all. Please use beta or nightly builds for tinkering."

- US helps create monopolies
- Buys data off those monopolies for surveillance
- Pretend-fines pocket change for those monopolies
- Make it seem like a big deal in media
- The dumb populace believe the BS and point to it as some sort of win.
- Rinse and Repeat
For a customer who wants the best phone for their money, the Fairphone is objectively worse
Objectivity worse in performance, sure. Some people consider more things than just being a fastest bang for the buck. Unethical mining, forced labour, e-waste, data mining, and lots of other things. If you care at all, that is.
If you want to compare that to a product made by a billion dollar company, no one is stopping anyone. There is cost associated with doing things ethically. Small companies aren't financed to eat those costs to gain the market. It speaks more about principles than anything else.
I don't disagree with Linus' suggestion at the end: even the fairest phone is environmentally costlier than rescuing an old second hand phone
is it? The person who sold the phone is most definitely going to buy a new phone and if they sold the phone released last year they will most likely do so every year. The reason there's a second hand market with a year old phones is because people obsessively buy new phones. How exactly is that environmentally friendly than starting to use a phone made by a company with higher ethics? Surely the later stacks higher in being environmentally and morally friendly?
Duchebag is spouting capitalists "trickle down" economics. Rather than fix the cause, find the flex tape to hide it. Rich people buy new phones, less rich buy phones from the rich, and so on. No one needs to look past the marketing into ethics in how they were made and companies keep profiting in billions by exploitation of the poor. So so environmentally friendly.

I have kids and I don't hate not losing caps.
US: It's totally fine cuz we're spying on users all over the whole world. hihihi
Tiktok does it
US: That's not fair
secret documents reveal shit its companies has done for more than a decade with impunity

The founding fathers were the rich that wanted all of the riches of the new found land for themselves and their rich friends.
So far, it's going exactly as planned.
"And we helped create it.
cheers everyone."
Thank you for your service
The original mastodon post was with more details, and some drama, but the guy is trying to spam this link everywhere he can. so desperate for attention. lol
Finally some excellent development. Time to Make Putin into Poutine.
Also the ISP probably knows most of the servers speedtest owns and accelerate speeds for them along with other popular speed test websites, while throttling other regular connections.
"This is good for B̶i̶t̶c̶o̶i̶n̶ AI"
I mean that's the point of self-curated feed. Do you want an algorithm or a team of strangers to find and curate what you should consume?
or maybe facebook, instagram, twitter is more up your ally.
why did it take so long, and why haven't more countries invoked the Conventions
There's an elephant in the room that everyone doesn't want to offend. It might force unannounced sanctions on you because you're speaking out against a country they're supplying arms. And they'll not just sanction you themselves, they'll make it so that they will sanction anyone that does business with you.
This causes irreversible financial harm.
Or am I now allowed to bash on all the christian performers out there too?
Who the fuck is stopping you dumbass? Go right ahead.
No one asked you to care or asked your opinion.
If you don't know the history behind Scientology and what happened to Chester, and why it matters. Sit the fuck down and stop acting like a fucking moron.
Manifest V3 was well on its way to being implemented before the aggressive youtube advertisement push. It was well known (to people who cared) it would kill uBlock back in 2019.
Here's an article:
Discussion on the uBlock subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/dunod2/google_begins_testing_extension_manifest_v3_which/
Lots of shady free VPNs out there from Chinese/Russian companies. Now instead of just letting people watch porn, they'll send their data to a shady/foreign entity. The apps will ask all the permissions, and people who don't know shit, will grant them.
Same thing will happen when they ban Tiktok.
Well done, You played yourself.
