Link me something that explains specifically what you’re referencing. I don’t think they do and I think there is confusion between selling personal data and selling ads not based on personal data.

Wow an arse technica article far less trustworthy than Firefox directly saying why they made the change and that they dont sell your personal data to advertisers.

Thats fine as long as YALL are happy

Giving the average person a VPN + fingerprint protection is a pretty big win for privacy.

They have their own repositories theyre just downstream of arch. They have custom packages. They have community spaces.

Idk if you want to get very conservative about what makes a distro a distro you’ll eliminate 99% and be using a completely different word than how everyone uses it.

Thats all I’m going to say because i have an awful taste in my mouth defending omarchy.

Yes a distro is user space settings distributed congratulations.

They have their own package repo, own builds, own community they’re as much of a distro as others.

That was a different dev. You’re thinking of the one who made his Lemmy frontend block users.

Piefeds moderation features are open to modify.

This tweet has to be intentionally being stupid. It must be bait.

My bad I shouldnt have assumed they were intelligent adults with personal responsibility and agency. I guess if someone offers to pay you then you are completely absolved of any moral responsibility.

Nobody was forced. They all gleefully built it.

Ive always been of the opinion that piracy is stealing. Doesnt mean I’m anti piracy. These companies arent fucking scum its perfectly fine to steal their shit. They’d do it to you in a heartbeat

Think of the worst companies. Now think of who built them. Think of the most authoritarian government surveillance and think who built it.

Black women are the only sane American voting demographic

I like the idea but you’ll never ever get me feeling sorry for laid off tech workers after how they’ve behaved the last 20 years absolutely disgusting. Now we are suppose to support them building the same shit again yeah I wonder how that goes.

But why clean room and public docs? the cat is out of the bag you can blatantly steal now. AI companies have done this and all these big tech companies use AI code. If you have concerns just host the code out of US jurisdiction. Make them fight the case of AI replication.

I cant the only one who thinks this guy is Edward snowden everytime they read a tweet of his.

Oh fuck this is exactly what I was wanting to setup. Great writeup.

I’m pretty sure this is very tame compared to what they actually deal with.

Thats better than I thought it would be.

It would be crazy if this was true.
