I really hope someone gets hold of the data and shares it on p2p or otherwise. If all this data is deleted it would be equivalent to nuking pyramids or burning Picasso paintings.
Yeah I mean china is a shithole country but for some reason there is a narrative on Lemmy that it is this great place while in reality it barely holds together as this silver taped weird capitalistic corrupted monster
There is a reason Chinese gov is so shy about Taiwan and all the happenings Russia vs eu because they know damn well they are holding stability barely together and one wrong move would plunge it into chaos. They canโt afford ANY conflict. It all barely functions as it is due to aggressive capitalism and corruption
What I meant is that apps on the App Store are sub based usually. At least the good ones. It's even rare to have ad revenue, pay to remove ads model. Effectively you have to pay subs to use device to the full on top of hefty apple tax.
On the play store way more apps are free but shitty quality or riddled with ads from top to bottom. data harvest fest + google selling u as product. Truly dystopic OS.
Subscription company vs ad company. Pay a lot to not be enslaved by google and I mean a lot like 4000$ (MBP+iPhone+pods+iPad+tv) + 50+$ monthly
I am my own doctor lol itโs all local home grown 100% organic
Hey thanks for the comment though, I feel pretty nice today. I hope you too
Wow this original comment is unreadable who wrote it, ah yes me I guess. This is some really weird person, hope they never come back though I feel they may around Saturday :/
So cringe what the heck. So weird to read when the world is all pink and bright and someone even upvoted it. you guys are real good people that can see through the fumes of self loathing
Frankly we canโt do shit anymore without fusion. We just have to grit our teeth and hope it comes sooner rather than later or maybeโฆ maybe develop in more intricate ways than just more energy per monkey
Yeah electronics lately instead of helping people squeezes money from us
Android smartphones are just elaborate ad viewing devices with extra stuff to not throw it out. Apple are subscription milking devices where you effectively pay monthly tribute to be less of a walking data stick. pick ur poison
I did it by selling soul to apple completely, I mean I am not going to peddle another company but at least it isn't google. However I can afford to throw some cash on their overpriced stuff. They suck but at least they aren't google. I don't use any google services right now. Not even maps. Without any cons because obviously I just use apple stuff for everything wallet etc
I could use framework laptop linux + graphene os but I need to live and thrive among ppl and also get that sweet social credit for not being a total nerd that yells about evil corps and how I have superior privacy in the basement left and right. However I would if it was socially acceptable.
Lots of times, sometimes they are quite accurate to what I am interested in thanks to spyware. If I havenโt installed blocker yet or it broke and I see these nice shoes or whatever so I click click click
That sounds fun, you changed his life forever. From now on he will always think that just around the corner there is a Big Zoo agent, waiting to get their hands on an unpainted horse.
Seeding fake news in the minds of clueless folks is quite fun feeling, you should try it sometime. Makes you feel like a god, shaping the reality itself
IA my guess is they are mostly legit but itโs puzzling where they ended up
