Maybe it is like that yeah.

You guys complain but you never actually switch to Linux. :)

If you truly cared about being a technological slave, you would learn Linux tomorrow. But just like someone stuck in a abusive relationship, you hang around despite the horrible treatment because you are afraid to leave what’s comfortable.

It’s much more than ads and billboards. That’s not propaganda at all. I would call that advertisements.

What I mean with propaganda is government agencies putting false information to the public and acting like it’s true, for the purpose of swaying an opinion in the direction they choose.

I think most people are not spending enough time reading about propaganda and how it’s used in 2020. Its very effective and people don’t know they have been exposed to it.

We who live in the western world frequently believe propaganda is done by Russia and China but not by our own leaders.

Special plugin operation.

All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.

It’s not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.

I think it’s more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn’t much new features.

Kids are not looking for that knowledge, I think you know that. Planet is being destroyed, yes, but nothing you can do about it by using your phone.

Retired army general as well. Such a nice person… Not.

Entire tech industry does this over and over again. The only way to stop dancing along is to switch to Linux instead of praying to Microsoft or Apple corporations.

People don’t even take it seriously it seems.

Don’t think so. Havent you met kids feeling shit because of social media? It’s everywhere.

Kind of obvious where this is going.

More like the brick disables your ability to use or see any disturbing apps, and you can’t even re-enable it without the brick.

The need for something like this will only grow, as more people realize the damage it’s doing.

Jesus, 8 hours of YouTube per day … I don’t even watch 30 mins per week…

Yeah, for me I don’t use any Google apps except Maps, but they are still on my phone, and can’t be removed.

It’s sad that all of us are carrying around all these apps that we didn’t choose, and that we don’t want or use.

Makes me again consider cyanogenmod… But had some issues without the Google shit on it.

Yeah but it also prevents you from toggling it back on when you are away from the brick. That’s the point. :)

Vest and rest I guess. :)

It’s frankly ridiculous. Ai is useful but the only company that deserves to get this much gains on the stock market is possibly Nvidia, because they make actual sales of actual hardware.

Everyone else puts out AI that is much worse than open gpt with tons of marketing to try and make up for it.

There is aws summit now in a couple of days where I live and there was more AI breakout sessions than you can shake a stick at. It’s definently overhyped.
