Oh let’s! Please let’s do that.

There is zero reason to believe this to be true.

This is the equivalent of the Pope being put in charge of the Satanic Church.

Yeah. Same. There no nuance to this at all. The quiet thing was said far more than just simply out loud.

It was shrieked from the mountain tops.

No, they don’t. Because if they’re weak enough to allow themselves to become addicted to a device, that’s their problem to solve. Not even else’s.

Smartphones are a convince, a tool. Nothing more. If one can’t live without one- there’s a problem needing to be addressed.

I can assure you that people don’t need instant access to calendars and maps. Smart phones are a convenience, not a necessity.

math that will never be used for any practical applications.

Ummmmm….. what?

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I think we have already done that and you just disagree with what we have agreed to categorize as science. This shouldn’t stop you from making your own computers and have them do whatever you’d like though.

Because, well…. That’s democracy.

It’s that that decade long grift disguised as a game?

Sooo… those that buy ads you mean.

It blows my mind that there are major companies that are actively, and very publicly- working their asses off to undermine the interests of their own customer base. And not only are they still are enabled to exist- they’re profits are constantly growing. Which means, despite their nefarious and intrusive updates to their services…. People are eating it up!

Nothing will change until people do the work to make that change.

Take YouTube for example:

They have screwed people over time and again. From their content creators, to those that enjoy watching them. Yet- those that hate it so much would seemingly never organize themselves to boycott their services on a level that will ever hurt them.

So they continue to do it unstopped.

Nothing changes until something changes. It isn’t ever easy, but if you want it to happen badly enough, it is always worth it.

All it takes is for someone to stand up and take the reins!
