(A)Social Media and the destructive power it has on society.

Having privacy should be a user choice. I am firmly in the Apple ecosystem and in the EU. Apple could engineer it such that interoperability means giving up privacy. User can choose. Apple could show in the App Store/settings exactly which data is leaked. Apple is using privacy as a tactic.

You think Trump is in power? I do not think he really is. He is a puppet. Others are the Puppet Masters.

Very much this! This is about removing (if it at wall will do that) without fixing the root cause. How deep can you put your head in the ground? It reminds of the Matrix where they scorched the skies to remove solar power capabilities as a way to block the enemy.

This is what happens when you build a capitalist system based on quarterly results

Seeing the population still increase, this must be completely attributed to Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate

over 942,562 CCTV cameras are in operation across London alone..

Although Firefox is still the best to choose from a privacy standpunt currently, I am convinced the time will come where the sponsorship from Google will stop. Then Mozilla will likely not survive and the development of Firefox is left to the community. A browser is a pretty complex piece of software so I doubt the community will be able to maintain that.

Very much this. I think the reason Google products are more and more infested with ads is to keep up revenue against people moving to better alternatives.

While waiting for the Billionares to take government.

What the article forgot to mention is that is not suitable for scale out workloads. No concurrent network access.

Nobody seems to be talking about the port in the charger itself. Does the regulation also specify USB-C for the other side?

I am curious about this supposed superiority. Can you explain?

I remember a sci-fi short story from a long time ago where everything that defined you as a person was digitized and available in your smartphone. The story was about a person loosing his smartphone and coming into all kinds of admin horror to regain his identity but eventually ended up broke sleeping under the bridge..

This is what the Solid protocol tries to fix. https://solidproject.org/

To me FOSS is very much about governance. If you need a change in an existing piece of FOSS code you hire someone to do this, either in the project itself or, if the project or you doesn’t want that, in a fork.

You can request the change in the existing project in exchange of money, but that to me is asking for trouble.

Everybody here seem to have strong opinions on the employer without having heard anything about their side on this.

Same here. I live in a GDPR country.

The ideal solution would be to find a way for businesses to get those insights in a way that preserves privacy at the individual level.

Isn’t that what Mozilla and Meta are together experimenting with?

You can google

Can we write “search”? Google is hardly a usefull search engine anymore.

Apple creating an ecosystem of mobile apps is causing all this. Just go back to the Internet’s universal UI: the Web

Is there a visualization of the fully realistic version available somewhere?

Enshittification in progress

This is the most insightful comment here.

Please eloborate

Still, if it’s that critical it should be deployed through the OS vendor, not some 3rd party. And regression/canary testing at each level (3rd party, MS, customer) seems to also be completely bypassed here, which also baffles me.

What everyone seems to be missing is that MS has no way to return (automatically) to a last-known-good (anymore).

So many parties in this made stupid mistakes: - Crowdstrike for not doing proper QA. - Customers for not doing some form of canary testing - Microsoft for building an OS that is incapable of returning to a last-known-good in all situations

Totally agree here. There should be a mechanism to go back to ‘last known good’ regardless of kernel level issues. Innovations like Fedora Silverblue with ostree and greenboot tech should be adopted by Windows.
