  • LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in

  • but this is really only true and a problem for the end user, and you can't maintain an empire by refusing to collaborate with the larger userbase.

    that's how Adobe became an industry standard. They eventually claimed the larger userbase and businesses had to adapt or spend millions on training.

  • Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich

  • the American guy who has been pushing for chat control through Europe so he can get paid destroying all privacy and spying on all European citizens through his Palintir, you mean, and ultimately delivering all power to the US.

    it takes a certain kind of evil to literally recreate Sauron's Palintir. What is it Gandalf tells Saruman?, "There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power." He is literally following the script lol.

  • i'm not asking anything, i'm saying every system assumes 10% scumbaggery. its capitalism, baby!

  • obviously there will be a handful of people pulling that shit but every system basically assumes that 10% of the people using the system will use it unethically to their advantage. just balance around that, as the vast majority aren't exploitive scumbags.

  • it's amazing you think not unlocking your shit will get you out of jail.

    or maybe you just come from a country where law and logic is just optional or possibly paid for.

  • CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant

    Jump

  • i mean i did that too. i dated someone filthy rich and it entirely warped my world view for a few years. it was a slow chip at my integrity but when i finally broke off the relationship and looked in from the outside of what i had become. just wow.

    and it isn't the money that corrupts. yes its probably part of it. but its the people you associate with while rich. you adopt part of their world view. you get influenced. you learn of the justifications. the whys. the reasons X and Y is done. its the entire fucking package of it that eventually changes you.

    i'm glad i had the experience because now i have a fundamentally better understanding of humanity in general and the concept of how "power corrupts" actually looks like on the inside and in myself and how i could easily avoid it had i been able to see my own thoughts and behaviors slowly get corrupted.

    and yes my initial thoughts going in was "that's really weird but who am i to judge" until it became the norm.

    so if this guy was ever a socialist. its pretty easy to understand what happened. and how it could be switched back.

  • and even then, unless you unlock it for law enforcements upon request. you will serve lifetime in imprisonment or until you agree to unlock it and whatever if any crime is within the locker to continue imprisonment. so safeguarding data really doesn't matter in the end anyway because any sensitive data kept anywhere will be used against you either by the law or by criminals. which often times seems to be one and the same.

  • the french do make some great stuff tho like cryptpad or mobilizon - the problem is usually always the same tho. it's in french and they only give half a shit about their french users, anyone else is considered an obstacle.

    heck i've been playing dofus for 20 years and the non-french community is always shafted. always.

  • Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W

    Jump

  • the "lack of discoverability" is the only reason we're talking about this problem in the first place. algorithms have utterly fucked the world and if no one stops them we're beyond fucked so the fact that someone thinks it's bad and is unwilling to try using a platform you need to curate your own content on (like reddit before it went to shit) is just people willingly stepping into the lions mouth.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • nuclear is the current dream for capitalists. because fuel is controlled and power is a monopoly - nuclear is guaranteed to always be profitable whereas hydro, solar and wind tend to run at a surplus and collapse the market by going into the negative value. since power can't be stored, they have no choice but to supply power at no cost. with nuclear, they control the flow of power production and can always keep supply at the breaking point of demand to keep prices high.
