I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

  • Or maybe you would realize that a lot of people think the same but are also convinced to be alone and unable to change anything... Just like it happened for me back then the moment the first few made the effort to change. We will never know.

  • I live in Germany

    Same here... and most of my contact list (and I) dropped WhatsApp when Meta bought them or a year later when the eavesdropping and phoning home to Meta was publically discussed in the media. The remaining minority is able to use another alternative on top of WhatsApp (that's one of the reason I like to remond them that they provide Meta with data from the people opting out...). That was also nearly a decade ago (2014/2015), so pretending that you need to use WhatsApp in 2023 is indeed a choice.

  • I use WhatsApp as well for the people I keep in touch with

    And everyone in your address book not using WhatsApp should come by once in a while and slap you for selling their numbers for your convenience... You are right... keeping a basically inactive Facebook profile is harmless in comparison.

  • And on the other side of the coin military training areas in Germany are studied as potential nature reserves because just some limited amount of sane oversight goes a long way...

    "The Baumholder military training area is therefore of special importance for nature conservation and landscape management. 722 ferns and flowering plants have been identified so far. Of these, 27 species are on the Red List of the Federal Republic of Germany and 34 species are on the Red List of Rhineland-Palatinate. In the animal kingdom, the abundance of insects and amphibians is striking. For bird life, the open and semi-open cultivated landscapes are particularly important, as can be seen, for example, in the occurrence of red-backed shrikes and Great Grey Shrikes. The larger animals such as the lynx, wildcat or black stork, which have found a retreat here, are of public interest."

  • You didn't know because that's mostly a bullshit pretense. Do you want to know actually happened between Munich going OpenSource and then reverting back to MS? Munich was bribed with a shiny new European Headquarter and the promise of additional taxes.

  • but will it even be the same now that you know how little control you actually have?

    Some communities weren't even the same anymore after those 48h protests. And you can basically feel which parts of the community instantly left the moment they realized all that talk about protesting was bullshit and it was purely symbolic.
