I'm having a decent experience with progressive web apps. Even posting now with a PWA for Lemmy. It's given me a bit more control over the bloat and background processes that might be there unwitting to me. Or requiring me to investigate . I don't enable background notifications or anything like that however. I also direct my DNS traffic thru PiHole but that's another conversation.
Late stage capitalism. Relentless pursuit of higher quarterly profits and earnings that fuel CEO bonuses and shareholder dividends. All at the expense of the people people who actually create the value. Also. That first line ain't paying for college loans.
Well I don't have a dog in the AI fight. I did sufficiently couch my comments as a thought experiment. I could have postulated the opposite scenario I suppose. Or none at all. I do see that there are some strong and confident predictions as to the outcomes.
Wait til AI takes prominence. What effect on intellectualism that might have remains to be seen. As long as LLMs aren't tailored to bias certain views, it may just lift humanity.
Well by another definition they all have the same core religious view. Just as any other religion that perpetuates collective hysteria and war. Humanity is better without any kind of organized dogma. Let's jettison the stone age thinking.
Then you should support an opt in system for ads I assume. Opt in. Heart's content. Bob's your Uncle.
There's a connection. Focus on that word "appropriate" and you might get it. Words like "appropriate" and "reasonable" are highly subjective and don't belong in public policy.
It's pretty common. I ditched Amazon, Instagram and a bunch of other apps for their PWA equivalent. You can find pretty comprehensive lists on the interwebs and it's growing.
I've moved mostly to progressive web apps that truly stop when you close them. For sure they will try to use trackers when they're running but you can stop that with pihole or NextDNS if you're on the move with your mobile. You can regain some control if you have the motivation to do so. If you have to install an app, you can still block tracking via these methods and more.
Pixel owner here. Changed to Nova launcher on day one. No search bar on my home screen and DDG is my default search engine.
Point taken. Either police negligence or outright manufactured outrage. The police are either daft or corrupt in those respective scenarios. In both cases, wasting tax dollars to "investigate" and NPR looking pretty incompetent themselves in their reporting.
