Why not?

  1. By buying a Pixel phone and degoogling it, you are rewarding good behaviour and punishing bad behaviour, corporations need to be trained like dogs.
  2. Google is not going anywhere and their primary objective is profit. By buying a Pixel you are signaling to them a viable revenue stream that doesn't violate people's privacy.
  3. You don't even need to give money to google directly, you can buy a second hand-one.

I say, vote with your wallet.

A picture of a man jumping into a lake as his friends look on, with overlaid text saying, "There is a correlation between intelligence and low impulse control".

More like Ubuntu is to Debian what Manjaro is to Arch. And then Linux Mint takes the nice stuff from Ubuntu but does away with the bullshit.

How is this significant in any way to anyone at all?

You absolutely should. With time, the data they have on you will grow outdated, meaning they won't be able to track an analyze your behaviour because they'll have no idea how you behave now. It's like the trail going cold. Hell, just becoming privacy focused already makes it near-impassible to be tracked, and since privacy-aware software doesn't track, collect, sell or buy your data, what little they have will be much less useful. Also, if you live in the EU, the GDPR gives you a right to request the deletion of all data they have on you, and they must comply. Most other places probably also have laws in place to request the deletion of your data.

Community systems are not bad, that's most of Linux, but there needs to be an ethical, FOSS-friendly enterprise system to get corpos invested in Linux and FOSS. Besides, corporate systems usually have massive dev teams and upstream/open-source a lot of their work. As much as I shit on Canonical and Red Hat, they've done immense amounts of beneficial work for Linux and FOSS.

Ass Band Rule (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago by themarty27@lemmy.sdf.org to c/196

An illustration, in early twentieth-century style, of four pairs of legs dressed in marching band attire, with exposed buttocks. Torsos are absent, and upon the bottoms are placed marching band hats. Between each pair of buttocks is inserted a brass instrument. On the bottom of the image is a caption in cursive print. The caption reads, "The ass band will play a song of farts to celebrate your failure."

Supporting politicians you like and supporting basic human rights being taken away on the basis of completely arbitrary factors outside one's control are two very different things.

Almost every Windows user never made the active choice to use Windows either, and Steaw Deck is 40% of Linux users.

ReVanced is proprietary, better LibreTube or NewPipe

EDIT: To be more clear, ReVanced is a mod of the stock YouTube client. ReVanced's patches are OSS, but Google's spyware still runs at its core.

Shadow the Hedgehog, dressed as a toddler, asks, "When will the baby come, mommy?". Spongebob Square Pants, blushing, wearing a night gown and with a bulging belly, responds, " Soon, sweetheart". Shrek, towering behind them, happily looks down upon Spongebob.
