Also to be fair I feel like YouTube has a large amount of deadish Internet content or just content that can’t exist in a landscape that doesn’t reward getting clicks (think Mr. Beast and similar).

I had the exact same experience when I first tried Linux. But now when I am evily forced into using Windows and HATE it any other way. Also I despise the windows terminal now (PowerShell & CMD).

I also don’t trust Microsoft to keep it turned off. Even if it is truly off (really hard to tell) what’s to say it doesn’t turn back on in an update. I want an OS I can trust.

It’s a great example of why I push for the use of technologies where I don’t have to trust companies to play nice with my data. If I use (correctly implemented) end to end encryption then you physically can’t access my data.

I’m really upset about BSKY and I had so much hope for them. But then they seem to be becoming what they sought to destroy. Reminds me of Proton.

Think that pisses me off the most is how you can’t uninstall it. First of all, I don’t even really need a mail app on my computer. If I do, I’ll install one I actually want to use.

That’s so dumb of Bluesky. They should provide ways for poeple to get around it or point to resources that explain how.

I STRONGLY disagree with this move. Once you give into one country it can way to easily lead to others (with more power) also trying.

If they ever make this a standard feature in all TVs and make it where I can’t just disconnect it from the internet, I will be using old TVs for the rest of my life.

My TV is there to display a visual output. It does not and should not do anything else.

Funny you say that. I despise Nord VPN and consider them HIGHLY unethical. Also they aren’t truly private because they want a bunch of infromation when signing up.

Any VPN that I see a lot of ads for and other content for makes them come off as sketchy.

I don’t get why they listened to the Turkish government. There not (to my understanding) registered there or have any kind of assests there.

TBH, if you just use a decent VPN (thats truly private) then this doesn’t matter. Which is something you should be doing anyways.

I very sadly don’t see it going anywhere because of how much money has been invested by big tech corporations such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Reason they’re willing to put so much money into these corporations is because they’re being built on their cloud infrastructure, which the different AI companies pay for. So either way, they end up getting more money and becoming more influential, even if the AI hype eventually dies out.
