Yes. Tech billionaires are the ones who stood behind Trump proudly on inauguration day, so let’s start using Canadian/European options. Plenty of them match what those tech companies offer anyway.

I think we’re also forgetting the US Supreme Court probably wouldn’t even do anything resembling enforcing the constitution, as demonstrated by the 5-4 decision lately (barely respected the constitution)

The devs also made it clear that if ever bsky became crap, the system is made so that you could just jump over to another instance and go from there.

So far so good, but yeah I get it, the more they talk about investors, the more I’m reluctant to jump in fully.

it’s not yet federated properly, or would not be completely, but it’s still a good player in the game for now. I’ll advocate against it if shareholders start shenanigans.

The number of countries that don’t fit on the left is decreasing every day.

Oh that’s awesome.

So the US wants to become dead last in technology by allowing monopolies that have no reason to innovate and blocking any cooperation with nations who spend money on innovation and tech.

Good luck in the future, it’s like Obama said about shortsightedness.

Laughs in Hillary.

Nah, scratch that, I’m crying.

Current owners too!

You want me to search that for you? NaBro!

I knew this whole hype was way overblown. This AI is “good” but not replace every employee with it good.

OK, but then they rely on donations or info selling for ads. Is that really better? I sure won’t foot the bill for the ceo’s multi million salary.

That’s the saddest part, I loved my 3dtv until they stopped making media for it. It was a fun gimmick, but I was definitely not “most consumers” lol

Honestly yeah, none of the crap being made right now is going to appear relevant in the future, just like 3d tvs

That’s by design.

I mean, I see their point, but it’s still a bad take. At the end of the day, this monopoly needs to be broken up. Also, have they tried not hiring a bunch of new executives and capping CEO pay at 300 000?

I haven’t tried it, but Iceraven has a lot of extensions available compared to Firefox. Maybe there is one to do exactly what you need?

Authoritarianism is by the leader of a state or a territory, not by some random dude on Lemmy. Seriously go read the Wikipedia page at least.

Yeah, but it amounts to asking “why is slavery bad?” You can understand why people, mostly as it is rising across the world, aren’t exactly happy that it’s even a question.

I said it’s a stupid question, not that you’re stupid BTW. But a quick Wikipedia read is enough to see that it’s not good news that many countries are kinda heading that way.

You’re defying the goal of the group by asking a quite stupid question. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc. They caused a lot of suffering, destroyed the foundations of democracy for their own gain, and you’re at the whims of if someone knows what they’re doing, because they consult almost nobody.
