Fuck Google, but I have a Pixel for GrapheneOS.

If I started a company selling a product with my rules and you bought my product accepting my rules and then you started randomly bitching and crying to me about the rules then explain how I am suddenly the one who’s the wrong, and if you could do so and force me to have losses why would I bother even starting the company to create and sell you the product you want in the first place

I don’t want to live in a society where the only reason people make anything is to make a profit, and don’t think for-profit companies should exist. You’re barking up the wrong tree with this argument, I do not care.

It’s reality my friend (something 99% of users on this website seem to not be living in), if you could install literally anything on anything then you can wave goodbye to all the competition and just 1 king os that everyone flocks to and 1 king piece of hardware, would be an absolute disaster without competition and why would companies even attempt to compete in that world, you can’t win customers over with good software (locked to your hardware) nor good hardware (locked to your software), most development would cease worldwide as most go bankrupt

This is dumb. “If we restrict the behavior of corporations to literally any degree whatsoever, no one will bother to compete and we’ll have to deal with monopolies.”

Most industries already are controlled by monopolies 😭

I mean Palantir naming itself after the magic orb Sauron controls and uses to spy on everyone and manipulate the information they have access to seems pretty appropriate tbh. Mass surveillance and manipulation are their business model. I hate that they’re appropriating LoTR for their fascism, but the name is definitely applicable

Then don’t go out and willing buy Google’s, Apple’s, Microsoft’s, your bank’s, or your government’s devices, which you already know ahead of time are locked to their own rules? What makes you feel like you are entitled to this lmao you are not required to own any of those devices, if you don’t like them why are you still purchasing them year on year

This is such an insanely foreign perspective to me. Who gives a shit if people are “entitled” to total control over their hardware, a world where people have that control is better, so we should force companies to comply. Why would anyone care about the freedom of a multi-billion dollar corporation to fuck over their users lmao

You can read into how you like the presence of certain instances/words/users on the blocklist, but putting BZ on a blocklist = bigot seems to me like a jump to conclusion.

I will, and I consider you willfully ignorant for not doing so. Consider the probability distribution of likely motivations for drawing up a secret blacklist that specifically targets queer communities and anyone to the left of “let’s hunt immigrants for sport”. The majority of that distribution is gonna be bigotry.

Like I said, I afford FOSS devs lots of grace and benefit of doubt, that’s just me, if the issue was solely over the choice of instances being blocked by default, I’d excuse it, but that isn’t the main issue. Call me too charitable, sure, it’s in my nature and you don’t have to be me.

Interesting choice to give the developer who already violated user trust by imposing a secret blacklist the benefit of the doubt on their bigotry. Seems like that would lose them the benefit of the doubt if you were being intellectually honest.

It was the trust that the so-called “Toxic mode” could remove all filtering, but it didn’t, and the trust that connection errors were simply configuration problems and not intentionally obfuscated filtering routines, these formed the trust that was broken.

Requiring users to enable “toxic mode” in order to access queer spaces isn’t evidence of bigotry to you?

Nope, I’m just a rational person who doesn’t automatically buy into hysteria.

Wow you’re so much smarter and better than everyone, you’re so cool(🖕)

but portrayimg it as motivated by bigotry when it’s not is pretty messed up too.

Explain to me the non-bigoted reason for blocking the entire lemmy.blahaj.zone instance (which is predominantly trans), as well as blocking various terms related to queer identities. (Hint: there isn’t one, fuck this guy.)

Like I would have zero problems with developers that do this, if they could come out clearly and document/announce: “I don’t like these accounts or words, if you do then this is what you do to change it or shut it off.”

Given that the list very clearly targets queer users for being queer (entire lemmy.blahaj.zone instance blocked), you are being far too charitable with an obviously bad faith actor.

Trust that if they’re a piece of shit it won’t take long for them to confirm it (again) loud and clear. Not saying this isn’t a whole big bunch of bullshit, just that they should at least get a small opportunity to respond with their side.

Given the fact that he deliberately targeted trans/queer people with this list, I am uninterested in giving him the benefit of the doubt, and very much hope everyone switches to the db0 fork and he loses his whole project over his bigoted hubris.

Man’s not heading for anything but the grave lmao, have you seen him lately? 50/50 odds he dies of natural causes before the midterms, I bet they’ll try to weekend at Bernie’s him for at least a few days.

Is that real? I wanna slap some Nazis with some trout

I assume this is going to hook into Play Protect API, which verifies your hardware config as well.

I figure US citizens being able to evade US government/corporate surveillance is good for China.

If you’re not literally just telling the AI to do entire projects with no supervision, Qwen 3.6 35B A4B is perfectly sufficient and runs on a mid-tier gaming setup (I get ~13tok/s on an 8gb laptop RTX 3070 with gguf 4_k_m quant)
