What they do on several Reddit subs is market manipulation. I really wonder what keeps FED/FTC away from seeing this fact. They are allowing a service serving to market manipulation by criminals to have a IPO. So let's say your post to wall Street bets is clearly illegal but it serves to Reddit. Will they hurry removing it or even removing the sub? The crypto gangs there are even worse, don't mess with them. These guys are very well connected in real life, you know guns etc.

Once more we will ignore the elephant in the room which is owned by a advertising giant. Android. Their OEM agreement was designed so bad that it makes you wonder if it does serve a purpose? I can theoretically easily compile the wpa_supplicant on the phone itself however I won't be able to install/run it. Manufacturer even gave up the brand name itself. Billions of walking zombie devices as the result.

It will become a subscription business with EULA.

It should really replace this petrol powered junk but this is what ultimately happens with such suits in charge. Do you think people will choose better? How many Fairphones or Linux desktops have you seen in real life? They choose slavery.

Speaking of slavery, China does make better cars with great price. I just wonder how many gigabyte per month these cars send to China? So it's either future Mercedes car with Apple carOS coming with subscription or Chinese spycar. Make your choice.

Or choose community/cycle transport, something better fit to 2024.

With their religious fanatic/fascist leader soon becoming de facto dear leader? There can't be a progress without secularism. None.

IMHO with 5+G and symmetric 1G+ speeds becoming generic soon, it seems "network is the computer" minus Ellison's evil intentions happening.

Even today, most people can't or won't own a top end GPU with a decent amount of memory. Ok you can afford it but it will be outdated in 6 months. I would get a service instead so I really wouldn't care about pixels per second.

I am telling these as a person who uses Wayland for a very long time even on GPUs including nv9400, thanks to Nouveau. So I don't have anything against Wayland but same time, I am using X remote functionality every single day to do things.

The colour correcting capabilities are just getting stable, developers are systemd like arrogant and disconnected from real life.

ROTFL -34 for now. This isn't Reddit, post (joke) doesn't get hidden.

IMHO the staff is corrupt. Why? I have seen crooks with verified and unverified accounts advertised scam schemes involving several multi billion companies in Turkey for weeks.

It included AI generated famous people advertising stocks, fake video ads, blatant logo piracy. These things can be detected with personal computer AI let alone Facebook's gigantic system.

Every single report binned, bounced. I know the multi billion/trillion system, whatever feedback sent to a brand will also reach continent and main HQs no matter what. For example, send feedback about a Starbucks Ankara, it will find its way to Seattle too. So, it seems there is a well established gang inside company who made millions or even tens of millions.

Just like CP, this is a very risky job. A multi billion energy company isn't a force to mess with, they have endless amounts of cash, lawyers and at the last resort "guys" who they can call.

This is absurd anyway.

There is something working out there which can be implemented by anyone even including entire countries and we keep seeing YouTube links everywhere. Even NASA gave up their streaming service. It once supported any kind of player and they didn't even need to pay for it. Any streaming host will carry NASA TV, they may even pay extra for the privilege.

This isn't ignorance, some people are getting paid big time. Also a reminder for countries other than USA: You are using a American company service which is bound to American laws. You are also sending your citizens and their money to a foreign service.

I keep saying that commercial, money making clients should donate 10% of their profit (or living money) to the server their user chooses. This is how FOSS services will survive.

You either have to learn very advanced, current security stuff and completely understand the logic of Linux security or pay significant sum to a person who knows to do criminal things on any Linux or protect your private life. Windows? Multiply time& money by 10X. Unless you are Fortune 500 or a government you aren't getting the source anyway.

I am telling it to people who will install any ISO blindly paying significant amounts of cash to VPN services with their own credit cards and access their Gmail :-)

I really don't care about people who behave like they are living in North Korea or who wants a North Korean World to live in.

Even Digg people could say "No, F you" to Digg superstar owners. It is just a damn URL to type.

I wished they had evil lawyers looking after such stuff and sold strictly opt in data to AI corps. Free for FOSS though.
