My experience had been that I get suggested right wing content and fed right wing ads most of the time despite my viewing history and ad grading would be the exact opposite of that. Glad to see it quantified. Disappointed it's true. Not surprised at all. It's all about keeping the money rolling in. #BigTechShouldNotExist #rant #uspoli

I trust Apple more than any other big tech company. I still don't trust them on this. Sorry. If I can't turn off call back to the cloud on your AI crap I don't want your products. It's easy enough to ditch it for desktop/laptop but god help me if I can't shut it down on mobile because the alternatives are way worse. #apple #BigTechShouldNotExist #rant
Apple’s AI promise: “Your data is never stored or made accessible to Apple”
Ars Technica · Apple’s AI promise: “Your data is never stored or made accessible to Apple”And publicly reviewable server code means experts can "verify this privacy promise."
I mean that's great that they agree to this but they already have pursued AI with reckless abandon and see zero signs of changing that. I'm thinking this is going to be more like Climate Change agreements: not good for more than wiping your ass with it. #ai #BigTechShouldNotExist neowin.net/news/microsoft-open…

...with my luck I'll go through all the brain damage of switching back to Garmin, since there is no decent FOSS fitness tracking hardware, get everything wired up in a de-Googled Android OS (assuming Health services work at all there), and a week later Garmin will get bought by Apple or Google and I'll be equally fucked with all my data going to the same goddamn place. #rant #BigTechShouldNotExist #foss
If Apple starts sending all my fucking search, messages, photos, files, etc. data to Google or OpenAI I'm done with them. They are my compromise platform because I hate adding to the Google/Facebook style data reseller big tech data lakes. I honestly don't know what the alternative will be at that point besides having to hobble my experience with /e/os, LineageOS, whatever, self hosting services, etc. and try to figure out a work around for banking apps. Motherfuckers! This is so enraging. I have a feeling I better start getting my ducks in a row to depart their ecosystem sooner rather than later. #rant #apple #ai #enshitification #BigTechShouldNotExist macrumors.com/2024/04/26/apple…

Tech press giving Bluesky the same treatment they gave Mastodon/fediverse after covering it in a positive light for ten minutes back in 2022. So fucking predictable. I'm not pleased with Bluesky sucking up all the decentralized social media oxygen these past several months. I mean AP fediverse didn't even get a mention in this article at all. But the "oh well I guess we just have to keep kissing Musk's ass and use Twitter" coverage is bullshit too. Ironically one of their complaints was a same one they had about Mastodon: not enough virality of shitposting content and doomscrolling. Yes, that's what the world needs :eyeroll:. Ironically they also complained that Bluesky is too much like the UX people are used to on Twitter so too boring. Meanwhile that's the opposite of their complaint about Mastodon which was just way too confusing to figure out...or something. I guess their Goldilocks zone for social media is Twitter, Tik-Tok, and Facebook/Instagram. How original Wired magazine. How very fucking original. #rant #fediverse #BigTechShouldNotExist

You know who doesn’t milk everyone dry and then try to put everyone over a barrel to let them keep doing that to the detriment of everyone else? The fediverse and non-big tech/SV VC companies. May these sorts of things help build inertia against these motherfuckers. #BigTechShouldNotExist #DeleteBigTech #DeleteFacebook #fediverse

I finally got to this @changelog episode in my podcast backlog with @pluralistic talking about his and #RebeccaGiblin book "Chokepoint Capitalism". As cynical my opinions are on the current state of our capitalist system before listening to it it's now even lower. I've had the book in my "to read" list for some time because I have wanted to read it but I make even less progress with that backlog than my podcast one. A worthy listening but it will get your blood pressure up. #capitalism #VultureCapitalism #LateStageCapitalism #MonopoliesAndCartels #BillionairesShouldNotExist #BigTechShouldNotExist changelog.com/podcast/535
