if you love being the product, go ahead. i haven't used any gapp in years and don't feel like i'm missing something.

google is a machine learning, data harvesting botnet most ppl opt in consensual.

i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that "we" are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want's a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.

i was talking about the botnet that is google itself, with chromebooks being a literal physical part of it.

impressive! the ultimate botnet machine!

A very elaborate way to say „I like to shit on apple because I can’t even come up with an original online identity“, get a life already, no one cares about your 2012 style brand flame war.

„Now that we’ve established that Apple collects and uses your data to serve ads, does it sell your data too? Turns out the answer is No, Apple doesn’t sell your data to third-party advertisers. The Cupertino giant possesses the exclusive rights of showing you ads on the App Store and other apps. This means your data is used by Apple to show ads, but not sold to any other advertisers.“

1. no and just a 0,0x% of android users do that
2. yes
3. yes

Now leave.

yeah, maybe, it will just keep staying under the radar and at some point someone will have to spend some cash to keep the lights on.

"circlejerk" is the magic word. it's funny how many threads are just meta discussion about the platform and why "the old ones" are trash and doomed to fail, like some ppl have to convince each other over and over again that it's the others that miss out.

no, it won't, nor will xitter of facebook. it's delusional to think multi-billion-dollar-platforms backed by big money, the content industry and several clandestine consortiums will cease operation because a single digit percentage of users decided that some hobbyist internet platforms held together by tape and a hail marry are the future. we'll be lucky if places like this are still around in a few years.
