Someone worked to make that app, either you pay for it with money or you pay for it with privacy, your choice.

TrickDacy ,

You’re getting downvoted because many people’s brains are so tiny they think if you explain something then you obviously love it

archomrade ,

How tiny does a brain need to be to make this comment on a platform that is free and open source?

TrickDacy ,

Yeah see it’s super solid logic – if someone explains something then they LOVE it. They fully embrace the way that it is and WANT IT TO BE THAT WAY FOREVER. Explanations really can only be traced back to evil intent.

archomrade ,

“You either pay for an app with money or with privacy” is just factually incorrect

There are lots of apps that do not require you to pay for with either your privacy or your currency.

Example: you are using an open-sourced application right now that is both free and private.

TrickDacy ,

It is not free. It takes a ton of time to build and maintain this software. And people including myself do donate to help out.

If you’re thinking all software developers will switch philosophies suddenly to think like you, I don’t really know what to tell you other than that will absolutely never happen.

Ps. Did you really think there was a chance you needed to remind me Lemmy is not commercial software?

Pps. I typically use boost to view Lemmy and that is commercial software. Showing there is no need to expect everyone to develop all software for free. $3 was a fuckin bargain

labor value != commodity value

If you’re thinking all software developers will switch philosophies suddenly to think like you, I don’t really know what to tell you other than that will absolutely never happen.

Nobody is suggesting otherwise, it is simply incorrect to say the consumer always pays for an application. There are many apps and software that is free to use and modify, and you do not always pay with your time or your privacy.

Ps. Did you really think there was a chance you needed to remind me Lemmy is not commercial software?

It was a convenient counterexample to the point being made.

Yup, but Lemmy itself is free to use or adapt.

TrickDacy ,

Well no, it wasn’t. The original point is that is Google’s business model. Not that this business model is inevitable in every case.

Lmao, idk bud I think you’re reading words that aren’t there.

TrickDacy ,

It goes without saying that Google made it. If you somehow didn’t know that, it was all over the thread.

You’re making the assumption here if anyone. “that app” does not mean “all apps, period”

dev_null ,

This is Google’s calculator app, so it’s just the default calculator app on many phones.

Hmm… without the nervous system and all the pain receptors you should feel absolutely fine now.

So if that bullet had hit him in the head, would they all take one to the dome as well?

Sam_Bass , to aboringdystopia in What fresh hell is this?

Seems like everyone is going out of their way to tell us how much they “value” our privacy. The value they place on it wouldnt even get a burp from an atm machine

blind3rdeye ,

The way I see it, the companies value our privacy in the sense that they want to take it - to extract that value.

We value your privacy. So if you don’t value it, then give to away to someone who does. In fact, just lets us take it anyway regardless.

Sam_Bass ,

Maybe so. I just prefer to keep mine close to home

Ah. I’ve had a lot of fun in Sea of Thieves. It was hella fun on launch, albeit quite unfortunately lacking in content. I’ve heard it’s gotten much better since, basically a different game altogether now.

TheEighthDoctor ,

There’s a lot of content now but I feel it being a bit disconnected from each other as if it was many minigames inside of a pirate game engine (not that this is a bad thing but it never captured me)

jaschen , to lemmyshitpost in Speed

So when I see those baby on board signs, I give them a pass when they are driving slow or doing silly things at the red light(like pumping their brakes so the car is moving so the baby doesn’t wake up).

DakRalter ,
@DakRalter@thelemmy.club avatar

Boring fact for the day. The real reason for the baby on board sign isn’t for other drivers, it’s so if there’s an accident, the emergency services will prioritise the cars with the sign. So if you want priority in an accident, you know what to do.

jaschen ,

TIL. Thanks man.

BluesF , to datahoarder in I’m in this photo and I don’t like it

Just a few more RPG books. A few more, and then maybe I’ll actually start playing an RPG? Maybe. But anyway, I could download a few more first…

Zahille7 , to games in Day 2 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

I really do enjoy Sea of Thieves. The arcadey gameplay of it means you can just hit up the high seas whenever you’re feeling that particular pirate itch, go on some adventures (depth of which varies on your preference), maybe fish a little bit, cook some food and just have a general good time.

It looks really nice, too.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I agree, It’s really easy to have fun just wandering around with friends. I especially really enjoy bumping into Sea Forts and Skeleton Ships (though all my friends have an aversion to risk and adventure).

The graphics pair really nicely with the OST too. Really makes you feel like a pirate on the sea

Lost_My_Mind ,

…do you mean orange juice? I mean, I know the big companies add a lot of sugar, but daaaaamn.

Melatonin ,

Just making a public service announcement.

Diet Mountain Dew is just orange juice. Read the ingredients. Water, concentrated orange juice, and trace ingredients from then on.

They’re selling us orange juice under another name!
