I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library…

A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
Boycotts work in luxury markets with strong competition. Necessity markets with highly concentrated monopolies? No chance. Without legislation to protect consumers, they are powerless to defend themselves against the greed and exploitation of corporate interests.
Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.
Oh, there it is! You’d think they would put it under security and privacy settings.
Great idea! The iphone keyboard is horrible. Have always missed having tactile keyboard from blackberry days. Im in.
Tell me about it, it’s way to cold for chrissy! 30 - 35 degree chrissy with some beach and bbq are the best.
It’s a real shame. Monopolies in any industry/product inevitably lead to fucking over consumers… time we broke em up I think
People keep buying big tech products and subscriptions then are shocked when they fuck you over? shocked picachu
Anything that helps bookwyrm grow its knowledge library of books (missing a LOT of books that goodreads has) is a good idea. I fear however that combining anything which points people to where to pirate the book might not help the popularity/reputation of bookwyrm as a good OS alt to goodreads.
Good to know, thanks!
Sounds good, I’ll check it out too. Presume it plays nicely with linux as well then, do ya know?
Will do, cheers 👍
Man… we can’t have anything nice… damn capitalists fucking every thing up
That’s my understanding as well, never understood its appeal as a social platform, tried to use it for a few months but it’s shouting into the void and loudest voice wins. Tis a silly place.
Nah, the cans are so old, this is just his stuff before he got his PhD
An important reminder of the right play here. If we are to keep the fediverse out of the hands of enshitification, we need to stay away from letting corporates play the game. Don’t federate.
Greedy capitalists believe line must always go up. They will sacrifice every moral principle to their invisible hand god.
Capitalism strikes again. This is why we can’t have nice things, capitalists keep fucking them up.
