Even more people can’t get Linux to run.
80% of people using Android.
Contributing doesn’t make anyone a lesser human.
You gonna do that iPhone crap now just because of $tync?
I’ve been on open source since the early 90s. I know damn well how people make money off of it and who makes money off of it.
I support none of it if it starts including tracking and ads. It goes against the whole mindset. Google fanboys love it though.
If you think more ads is the solution that’s good for you. Ads are society’s cancer, so I have little choice other than to block it. (Paying to get rid of ads perpetuates the idea that ads are profitable. That’s up to you.)
Lemmy doesn’t have ads. If you have to pay to remove them don’t you think something is wrong with that? Why not pay for the community and useful features instead?
The irony.
Like $ync. People need to eat!!
Because there wouldn’t be a Sync if it wasn’t for opensource. Sync is piggybacking off of opensource.
Imagine the web as a playground where some big companies like Apple and Google act as gatekeepers, deciding who gets access to certain features or sites. They use something called “Private Access Tokens” to check if your device is allowed. It’s like showing a special ticket to play with the cool toys.
The problem is, this system could limit our choices and freedom. Only devices approved by these companies would get full access, while others might be treated suspiciously or blocked. It could stifle competition and innovation because only approved browsers and operating systems would be allowed.
Moreover, attestation means they control what we do with our own devices. Customization might not be allowed, and they could tighten the rules later on. This could change the web for the worse and hurt competition and user choices, making it less open and free.
Very good advice.
I’d like to add that in those 84 new messages there might be a clue to why there are 84 new messages. Better get to it!
Get off your ass and help (or learn) instead of complain. It’s open source, so many resources. Better than (edit: yeah) supporting ads (or paying to get them removed which is still supporting ads).
