Jesus Christ some of these memes are more obnoxious than linux/arch users.

Christ this is cringe.

The OSS and privacy communities really will bitch until absolutely nobody listens to them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Always has been that way, at least for the loud and hypocritical fraction (they still use tons of proprietary stuff, they just don't talk about it)

I pity the sane supporters of privacy and open software that don't treat it like a cult, getting thrown into the same pot as those clowns

Moaning about a lack of robust privacy for 3rd party apps while on a platform with a public record of every users up and down votes is a pretty rich. That data is a gift to the advertisers and you can bet it is being mined already. If I had the skill that would be the topic I made a meme about.

Lucky for them we do not log and publish all the access logs, along with their identity.

Just like with Threads, this is post number 2920 saying the exact same thing over and over again and bitching about someone having fun. I really hate these coordinated attacks here.

Jesus Christ am I sick of this fucking circle jerk.

This "holier than thou"-rhethoric and superiority complex really starts to get annoying.

Feel free to donate your car, TV, PC, smartphone and kitchen appliances to turn them in to the nearest recycling center, because their schematics aren't freely available as well.

This also spares you the need to wipe the chips of every commercially available electronic, because the microcode of those chips is not FOSS.

Also the Cisco infrastructure that acts as nodes for the web aren't FOSS, so please refrain from further use of the Internet.

After that you can claim to be the literal Jesus Christ that saved the world from evil software

It's fine. There are more apps for Lemmy coming around. The competition will sort things out.

"your post is malicious because those trackers come with the ads, it's not the app's fault reeeee"

while data_caps=exist advertisements=theft

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

OP, you're the reason nobody takes FOSS advocates seriously anymore.

Ohhh my God just shut up about sync already!
