Its my experience with server software for beginners in general, which gets my enshittification senses tingling. I just dont trust in a company providing a hell of a service (like, getting tens if not hundreds of docker images to work with the click of a button) for free.
With Truenas I know that their community branch is an ad for their enterprise service because no single person will key thousands for the caliber of support their enterprise has, so they make their money by offering cloud services. So that explains how it is still feasable for them to give me their dataset and UI and everything frontend for free.
But with Casa, I just dont know where the money comes from. I dont see how they can keep up their operations and make a profit with this kind of effort. So I can only assume that many non essential services will be put behind a paywall.
And if they do it, I still know that they use docker and ZFS, and I can spend a day or 2 learning how to set up a software raid and an ssd as a ZFS buffer for it, and everything else i‘ve set up with their OS.
But thats the problem: Beginners dont know. Its like with the Iphone: If the user dosent learn how to deploy a docker instance from a compose file themselves, they will be bound to that frontend and all the enshittification that happens to it.
Therefore I would like it way more if Selfhosting was more like the AUR. First learn how the Process of pulling an image and makepkg‘ing works firsthand, then you can use the frontend like yay. Not the other way around.
But if no one learns how to do something the old fashioned way and relies on a frontend for everything, at some point the company behind the frontend will vendor lock everyone into their system, since there is no competition anyway
But if you need to pay for a „Media Flatrate“ anyway, and you have those 5€ a month, why not spend it for a good cause?
(Also PIA and nord cost 12€ a month unless you sign their predatory 2 year contracts [which are even then just like 1€ per month cheaper], so mullvad is just way better in that regard too)
Also features like UDPoTCP let you bypass local network restrictions, and the ability to pay with cash and Crypto is great if you dont want want to/ cant use paypal or a bank account for any reason
It is a pro capitalism movie with bestiality, yes.
The while plot of it is: If workers are not exploited, they will not work and therefore the world will collapse. Also, it is Seen as bad to question if dedicating your whole life to repetetive Work is a bad thing, and is actively discouraged.
I mean, the whole thing is literally about bees revolting against a corrupt system where they are not heard and instead killed by gas (which is quite literally against the Geneva convention), which results in them being repaid and not working anymore, which ruins the entire planet. So they crawl back and beg for their exploitation.
THE MOVIE ENDS WITH EVERYTHING RETURNING TO NORMAL WITHOUT ANY OF THE NAZI GAS SHIT BEING EVEN AKNOWLEDGED
Also, if you translate Bees and Humans to classes, the movie says „let yourself be exploited, otherwise the Upper class will not get their private jets
(Also yes the main plot device is a married woman falling in love with a communist bee)
Its really easy to be honest, you just have to slowly take away everything and give them choices, and they will be so occupied with discussing what they want to choose, they will not even notice how we slowly strangle them
Restrictive OSs and stuff will become the new normal, essentially stripping us of our freedom, more things will become 1st Party only and moving your data will be even harder than ever, essentially becoming cultural houses, basically what apple has already done
but it will always be far less aggressive about it than Google
Whataboutism. Browser advertises itself as privacy respecting, yet builds on a non Privacy respecting OS. If they really wanted to protect the user, they would be open source, (at least the methods of protecting the user from tracking) firefox based and availible for linux and Android FOSS, similar to everything else (Firefox, Molly, Signal, etc). My whole Comment was about how they advertise themselves as Private, yet fail to address the most basic privacy concerns, essentially being an oxymoron. This was not about „which OS is less evil“ but „why did they not opt for the not at all evil?“
Android also runs Google play services
False. AOSP does not have Gservices, and has enough forks for hardware (Linaege, Graphene, Calyx, /e/)
Both OS suck big time
See my point about AOSP.
I know the post was about Apple
So you just posted some random comment just because?
and I was pointing out that android is likely worse for privacy
I know this is not really a thing where you come from, but here on lemmy we read the OPs text first before commenting, which also would have answered all your questions, but if you really need it: The Browser is based on Propriatery Apple Software and only runs on it
Like, you want to actually contribute against fingerprinting? Make a repo with documentation on how you want to achieve it and publish a firefox fork as example.
If you want change in the software world, you have to make a blueprint everyone can use or at least get an idea and let them have the freedom of implementing it their own way
