I agree it's 6 versus a half dozen

But the layer of obscurity at least gives the illusion they aren't supposed to abuse it so much, which helps massively during breaches or trying to get your data or have it deleted.

I doubt any of that is even possible in china (i have no citation for this)

in any other industry this would be a major anti-trust violation

As clever as you think you're being, it is an important difference.

Mostly because in the US you can choose not to use it, in china choosing not to use it affects your social credit score, and whether you can buy a house or ride the bus.

Slight difference in potential consequences for benign behavior.

Almost as if... because there weren't consequences the first time they blatantly lied to people's faces... they just continued to do so, repeatedly.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

It's not a company.

It's a CCP company.

Same rules do not apply.

Linking these to instagram accounts is textbook anti-trust behavior to establish market positions

Not a goddamn thing about this is 'organic'

Ngl, getting those tools working on Linux is going to be as marketable as working with them in the first place

Get hacking!

This statement seems to either forget or just straight up ignores that the “business sector” in regards to tech is in fact a really thin veneer of gatekeeping assholes taking credit for the active and ongoing functionality of a mountain of open source code and work.

User choice harms companies

Buy a new hard drive, boot and run off that until you’re comfortable

Linux can run off a thumb drive, and continue to use your windows install drive as storage, losing you nothing at all.

Why do you think they are suddenly so “friendly” with open source?

Guaranteed this is so they can run even more malicious proprietary software because client side malware scanners are a blocker for “progress”

And in the peak of all irony, they will likely have Linux running the client to stream in all the proprietary dogshit

Omg are you in for a treat!

Steams work with proton, steam OS, and the steam deck means after switching my gaming pc to Linux last year, the only games out of the hundreds I have that don’t work are the ones whose launchers refuse to run on Linux.

Even Denuvo games work with a little effort

Highly recommend you give Linux another shot 😁

Until they add a history feature for edits (i'd really appreciate that, actually. I edit my shit all the time just to fix errors, but i know there's plenty who use the feature maliciously to change how an argument sounded)

And you're dreaming if you think reddit can't get whatever you "overwrote" back.

And this is different from everywhere and anywhere else.... how?

Edit: No, seriously, this is meant to be a public square where people can talk freely.

What part of "public" do people not understand?

They’re already in an abusive relationship, with Google
