Yes. 🤷
Nobody wants to be spied on by their perceived enemies. Also, how do you expect us to maintain an appropriate level of hypocrisy if we don't constantly do hypocritical things?
I wish we would go after foreign investment, ownership, and political meddling as much as tiktok
This seems to be an improper interpretation or over simplification of the article.
This was a fun episode. It doesn't surprise me that this interview was highly requested. I really enjoy those videos.
I of course assumed that guy was some kind of cyber ninja.
You remember how all the US politicians are funded by the same huge corporations and rich people who all benefit from the regulators doing nothing but pretending to care?
Remember how the politicians pander to Americans by blaming rich people for all of life's problems and saying they'll make them pay their fair share, but those politicians have multiple houses and blatantly conduct insider trading every day, but Americans still vote for them time after time?
I'd like to say you could just not use their products, but that means you have to replace windows with some other os, not buy a major manufacturer cell phone, or do much else 🤷
Unpopular opinion: maybe stop using it?
They only matter and make money because we let them by using it every second of the day.
I'm not sure why down vote information security courses on the infosec instance.
If you don't want info security stuff, maybe jump to Lemmy.world.
Yeah, but money can't control CCP like it controls the narrative here. That's not acceptable... /s
I'm sure there's someone who thinks the FDAs take on some issues is propaganda.
These days, we seem to blur all the meaning behind things.
What's the difference now between an opinion or view that you disagree with, and propaganda? People assert everything is propaganda of some kind.
Same thoughts about hate speech,.jokes about stereotypes,.etc. I'm in no way advocating for hate speech by the way, people just have very broad views on these things now.
I'm not sure how platforms can allow freedom of speech without hate speech and propaganda, it's all based on views, priorities, morals,.values, and a society's tolerance of certain things.
Yeah, I don't really want to believe it amounts to much of a difference. I feel like there's way more responsible people than not. Those who are offenders seem to do so anyway.
Imported a long LLM response. It seems to think there was an increase during the last allowance, but I am more inclined to believe this was genuinely related to the pandemic. Maybe this time, we can get cleaner statistics and see how things go for a couple years.
Edit, I like to think I am one of those responsible ones. We walk down a pedestrian trail to the food area,.and it would be nice to take a drink to go while walking back.
I also take drinks in my car from the house, I just don't drink them until I get somewhere. And not drinking anytime soon, duh. 😀
People can get drunk cheaper
We'll all need to with our lack of good education.
I talk to teachers from Hamilton county and Hendricks county. They say everything's fucked.
From the lesson plans that only teach istep or what ever it's called now.
They also say the kids can hit them and they can't do shit about it. Plus parents coming in screaming at them.
Neither one I'm referring to would be a trumper, let alone teach something like that.
I don't know what school needs yet. Our high school board meetings had to go online only because people were in there about to start fights.
These are good suggestions for tech people IMO. I was thinking more general population that just wants to buy a product and use it as is. My mom isn't going to get a laptop and then install linux. I'd have to. 😇
I've never heard of BQ before, so that was an interesting mention. I didn't look hard enough to find out if it was available in the US.
I think the overall sentiment I'm conveying is that as a consumer, I'd like to just stop doing business with entities I deem bad faith (which is easy to say until you need a new TV and the 'good' company TV is twice as expensive). There's not a lot of choices for average people in this category (big tech). You'll be exposed to them almost out of necessity. I suppose appropriate regulation for those giant companies, and the US wont, but at least the EU will.
I also wonder if MS/Google/Apple were EU based corps, if they would take the same actions? I can't say how much of an average EU country's economy a company like Microsoft would be, but just the thought of how much that would be makes me think they'd get preferential treatment in which ever country that would be. I'd have to look at brands like BMW and see how they did doing that MPG scandal, things like that.
