To force elaboration while staying on point. Details are just as important to writing as conciseness.
I'm convinced a lot of it is astroturfing. It's just too perfect and consistent, with the perfect answers for everything and just the right amount of fear mongering.
A platform is nothing but a reflection of its users and of humanity :) An empty canvas we can fill.
Sure they can, it just isn't as simple as "just" ;) How do you, for example, determine who picked which item if two people are standing next to each other? Or if something is put back?
Sure, a proof of concept will always work. Building it for the real world is a completely and utterly different beast.
Lemmy's development is to a large part subsidized by some kind of OSS fund.
Those companies do, and they maliciously manipulate them for their own profit. This is not on people, this is on toothless regulation.
If you had any idea about how it works, you would not compare them. If you had any idea about how hard Apple makes security research, especially without a Mac, you would not compare them.
But you don't know what it's about. Being a consumer does not make you an expert.
You can't compare those two. First of all, Apple's walled garden makes it significantly harder to perform security research. Second, Android has a way larger ecosystem and is not a monolith, so of course there's gonna be more.
Apple = Apple, but Android ≠ Android.
You're hilarious!
Banning software is not the same as banning books, lol. Books are passive ideas, software is active and can be used for espionage. You're creating a false equivalence here.
