It seems to me that nothing is really new and there is nothing exciting, if not interesting, about technology today.
There is the massive infiltration of personal privacy to surveil everyone for whatever reason that is currently deemed acceptable, so there is that - smh
If companies can’t protect the information they collect now, (a large portion of it gathered without consent), how are they going to protect even more information; and where can I opt out?..smh
If they did not collect any information, they would not have any information to give when they are served a subpoena.
It still boggles my mind how paying for ads became acceptable. Not only is the company making money from the advertisers for the ad space, they now get to make money off the population for viewing the ads. This is a crazy world we live in.
I’m pretty sure that Amazon, google, etc do far more nefarious shit behind the scenes in terms of tracking/fingerprinting you and collecting data to sell
You even get to pay more and more for this privilege…smh
I am not on Reddit, but, would making a subreddit private lead to difficulty in training the AI and collecting data?
I did not see a reason given. Anyone know why?
I am not a content creator and do not upload anything. My use would just be as a consumer.
As a consumer, I will not use YT simply because of ads and the way they have made removing ads without a premium subscription so ridiculously difficult and time consuming.
Imo, having ads thrown in your face when you pause it, is reason enough not to use again.
Then they suddenly started helping Microsoft exclusively, which has been criticized many times for being a monopoly,
Iirc, Microsoft has 49% of it. OpenAI is having another round where it is speculated Apple will contribute along with Microsoft again.
Wasn’t Altman in charge of World Coin where he wanted everyone to scan their eyes for money to encourage a universal ID/wage?
Public transportation does not operate in the middle of nowhere where the closest store is more than half an hour away.
Why will they not use F-Droid?
Let them weed the humans out. Then the bots can talk to each other over there and all the humans can move here!
I can’t stress strongly enough how badly I am opposed to ads.
Not much to be done with a work machine, but for personal use, I believe the more people moving away from Windows the better.
Microsoft believes if they worsen the enshitification of Windows 10, more people will just upgrade to 11 quicker.
I decided to move to Linux and my other family went with Macbooks.
they don’t care and can’t be bothered to look for a better way.
This implies they are fine with it by tacit agreement.
My jaw dropped when I saw that. Not sure how many people are aware if it.
Samsung is also trying to make its ACR data more valuable for ad targeting, including through a deal signed in December with analytics firm Experian.
This should add to their profits.
As the years have passed, it has become the acceptable consensus for all of your personal information, thoughts, and opinions, to become freely available to anyone, at anytime, for any reason in order for companies to profit from it.
People keep believing this is normal and companies keep taking more. Unless everyone is willing to stand firm and say enough, I only see it declining further, unfortunately.
