Some people just have other priorities. As soon as you start moral grandstanding like this you better check your squeaky clean because I bet there's something like this that can be said about you.

Speak for yourself. I have my own chip fab in my basement and I make my own smartphones and PC boards. I get all of the glass and silicon I need from local beach sand.

If you want one of my phones, graphics cards, or mother boards, visit my stall at the farmers market. I also pack my electronics in sustainable mason jars. If you return the jars I will give you a discount on my handmade hemp USB cables.

Hey, if we don't let people in glass houses throw stones, then we'll still end up with too many glass houses.

People jerking off over Threads because they hate Elon

Another data leaks trap. It's like Zuck is saying, "Come here, so I can get more data from you guys."

Every policy about data collection is mandatory for users, with no difference from just setting it without asking.

trust vs necessary.

I don't trust them but they are a necessary evil for some tasks. like messaging apps, what use is Signal or other secure/foss messaging app if the people you need to communicate with uses meta products. so it is necessary for me to use meta products in order to facilitate communication with some group of people.

Operating system our company only uses windows and provide a laptop with windows as an OS. now why would I go to trouble myself in reformatting this laptop to unstall other OS when it isn't even mine and would get me into trouble, not to mention break compatibility with my worke ecosystem. so, i use windows.

so yeah, it applies to others as well

Well, we all are. How else are you accessing this platform? Through some psionic ability?

[–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes. And I'm guessing you are too. Otherwise, how did you know I was using psychic powers to shitpost on the internet?

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I also have created my own ISP.

[–] EatMyDick@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's silly watching people like you who just scream over "big tech" blow any chance of normies listening to you. You do more damage then good.

[–] marmo7ade@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OP doesn't have the emotional intelligence to understand that I can think "big tech" does a lot of bad things, but I can still personally use their products to make my life more efficient. I have accepted the risk. That doesn't mean I agree the risk should exist. More than 1 thing can be true. What a crazy concept.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Pretty much all of us are using products made by slave labor. But we have to live in modern society. We can't make our own clothes.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

For those people, the "free" services they're using aren't "bad enough" for them to bother leaving. Couple that with the majority of people they care about also staying, and that's the result.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me.

Small tech can be much nastier as they have less scrutiny on them. Think of all these companies writing spyware for governments/corporations around the world.

[–] DreamHollow4219@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Do you mean those people who will respect and applaud decisions of huge tech corporations no matter what?
No clue. Some people are willing slaves.

"People who think Apple is private"

[–] faintedheart@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I don't trust them. I use them and throw them. I know it can go down anytime or it can change it's rules and regulations anytime. Enjoy until then and if it fucks like reddit, move on and find new place. Sometimes when everyone around us is using big tech products for work or personal, we have to use it.

[–] rockyrikoko@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude in yellow shorts pissing over the fence has some serious pressure! I'm good for maybe 1.5-2ft vertical... Is this even possible or is it likely a water hose or something?

Being serious, it was just a hose. I've seen several people do that, where they blast a hose from their crotch and are like "Look at me, I'm the most powerful pisser of all time!"

Why is big tech worse than big government

Technically a pisspost, not a shitpost.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Normies mostly

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I hate that the term "big tech" caught on.

Some people just want to watch the world burn
