It's all about liberal Jews and their damn jewish space lasers destroying the US of A.
Seems that Neaterdal MTG was right and Trump takes notes. /s

You have a point. At the same time, the silent generations kids, the boomers, lived through every technological breakthrough, on times of huge economic growth. Also they owned cheap house, had almost free tertiary education and a better labor market. Lastly they had access to banking dept and never woried about the environment. Now they are reaking all these benefits and while they fucked around for us to find out.

they have an insane amount of gun and gun related deaths They don't have Universal Healthcare they don't have a federal payed leave law they don't have a maternal/paternal leave law they don't have tuition free universities they don't have decent mass transportation The use of the imperial system

It just doesn't make sense and baffles my mind for the richest country in the world to treat it's citizens like this

Our societies have a tendancy to be more authoritarian, autocratic and consumption driven. The way the corporations are using anyone's data is not transparent and there is no accountability for it. There is also no monetary reward for the use of my data.

Therefore, I prefer to use open source apps and federated SM.

So to answer your question, I would like transparency and accountability about my data usage, as well as compensation. And no I would not like more ads. Since I realise that my preferences are impossible, I try to make the switch I referred above

jellyfin goes arrrrrr

If you are referring to corporate "free" products such as email, cloud and media consumption, I use them until I'm able not to and switch to open source. ex. Gmail -> protonmail Google Drive, photos, contacts -> Next Cloud YouTube -> Jellyfin etc. If you're referring to corporate Social Media, I just refrain from using them, except FB at the minimum due to contact with old relatives. For other Social Media consumption, I ditched Tweeter (or X or whatever) and Reddit, never used Instagram and TikTok. Switched to Federated SM like Lemmy (Duh!!!) and Mastodon.

TLDR. I value my data,but I draw the line in accordance with my ability to afford it

Productivity has increased disproportialy to workers pay the last 40 years. Working less days and less hours is only fair considering that most of the benefits went to the employers side. 4 day/ 20 hour weeks should be the norm. And people should be able to work from home for as long as possible to avoid commuting and the barbaric micromanagement of the low/middle admins

edit: gramar

that's possibly the best explanation of the difference between a corporate social or other media and a decentralised open source one.

You should concentrate your efforts to live, not just survive.

That depends only on the competition.

20 years ago I payed €65 for 4Mbps. Now I m paying €25 for 200Mbps + a landline with unlimited local calls + an android box (that I use for PLEX and retro gaming) that provides 50+ channels through an app.That was the last renewal.

I also switched my cell provider. I used to pay €42 for unlimited calls, SMS and Data. Now I pay €25 for the whole package.

I didn't knew that

You could buy fairphone if you don't want to wait and your battery can't handle it anymore

Spread the word brother. You're doing lord's work

Algorithmic Addiction from Social Media consumption. An analogy would be Caffeine addiction from coffee consumption.

Most people who use smartphones are addicts and are far from being aware of it.

Internet Archive makes me feel like a visit to an old section of a library that noone visited for a while every time I go there.

It's a shame that the US have at the same time people who treasure the need for preservation of culture and Civilization, and people who would sell their own mothers for the shareholder's profit.

If they don't move to a country with more logical copyright laws, I'm afraid we ll lose the too.

Dammit, 2023 is a year the Internet is gone to hell by the corpos faster than I can remember
