People are being exploited and screwed over left and right. Piracy is not even a blip on the radar.

If society was built on moral rules and honest behavior, then maybe people should feel bad about pirating. But this society? Lols.

I struggle to even see the difference from slavery on most days.

Amazing, we have so much choice now. /s

Love seeing friendly people like this. I would replace Musk and Trump with you on the planet.

People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.

Every time I hear about eve, I remember how much I wished it was a slightly different game. There is no way to play eve without investing many hours each time. Everything takes a very long time.

On the plus side, just the feeling that someone may come up and kill you and take your stuff makes the game feel quite scary. I was doing wormholes for a while and pretty much was constantly nervous about getting killed. Never happened though.

Thank you, but is it really fair to say they all autistic people are like you describe? Just like non-autistic people, there should be a a variety of behaviors in autistic people as well?

I was talking about Elon Musk here, not all autistic people.

I don’t see it. Elon is a sociopath and doesn’t care about people at all. He is autistic as well. The man would easily sacrifice others in a crisis, not fight for them.

Bad guys always win outside of movies I guess.

From fucking PayPal?? It’s one of the worst companies in the world and has entire websites dedicated to hating it. :)

You will own nothing and be happy.

Asus is really going down the drain…

I wouldn’t worry about that… There won’t be many posts and looking once per day is enough. :)

If you are a regular Lemmy user, it won’t take any special time to keep an eye on such a small community.

I would use it if it was self hosted and separate from big tech, but using these services when big tech is watching, huge no.

When an individual builds something on the web, it’s for the pleasure of building and seeing it being used by people.

When a corporation builds something, it’s to exploit the user, lock them in, spy on them etc.

This is why Lemmy is such a breath of fresh air, in this web where corporations control all the big sites.

Start a new community on another instance. This is the power of the fediverse.

Leading by watching asses in seats.

I did that too. :) But I trolled our teacher, not the students. It was really hard to not laugh as she didn’t understand what was happening to her computer, and all in front of the class.

In retrospect it seems a bit cruel actually but I didn’t think like that as a kid. But memories like this reminds me of that - we think differently as adults.

What is this, good news??

A rare breed.

I mean, I don’t want to use a fork either… It would require the person to maintain the fork from upstream and also requires trusting whoever forked it.

Google won’t pull the plug, because then discussions about browser monopoly may flare up again. It’s a small price for them to pay to have Firefox around as a non-threat.

I had a look at their browser share now actually, and their numbers are stalling and not growing anymore. They have about 60% of the users and apple has 20%.

They want to do this to everybody with their Web Environment Integrity so everybody has to use software and operating systems “approved” by fucking Google.

People don’t even know what that feels like I think. Google has messed them up.
