I’m surprised at this point that people are still trying to circumvent Terrible. Just stop using YT altogether.

Maybe if all tech companies told Russia and China to fuck off, they’d all get banned in those two countries, further isolating their citizenry, in hope that those citizens would eventually get fed up and say enough is enough, through whatever means necessary.

I’m sure plenty of Russians and Chinese put up with their governments, but are they willing to become North Koreas?

The majority of computer owners use their machine to open a web browser and maybe an email client.

Surely that can be done on any OS.

Samsung Requires Independent Repair Shops to Share Customer Data, Snitch on People Who Use Aftermarket Parts, Leaked Contract Shows (www.404media.co)

In exchange for selling them repair parts, Samsung requires independent repair shops to give Samsung the name, contact information, phone identifier, and customer complaint details of everyone who gets their phone repaired at these shops, according to a contract obtained by 404 Media. Stunningly, it also requires these nominally...

They downvote because they hate what they don’t understand, not because you’re incorrect.

To the crypto haters, take a real 5-10 minutes to learn about Monero and see if you can apply the same hate afterwards.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Do you think the corporate world (that effectively runs governments) is going to regress or go back to “let’s all make less money”?

Sorry I’m not smart enough to understand what you’re inferring.

Corporate tax rates go up, company lays off workers and moves to a less-taxed jurisdiction.

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn (techcrunch.com)

A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. They...

You can turn it off all you want, it won’t stop the scanning and collection.

Like turning off Google Location history, its just hidden from your view.

We don’t know for sure. Google has never lied to us before, right?

Its okay if you work for Google, you can just say so.

Or you are naive and gullible.

So if I factory reset, and want to NOT use my current Google login, I can’t? It will only accept the previous login?

What if I want to sell the phone?

Did I read that part correctly?

Imagine pretending you don’t understand that modern wars funded by the US are shell games in which typically nobody, except for defense contractors and politicians, benefit.

Did we really help the good people of Iraq? I bet their answer is a resounding No.

How about Afghanistan? I bet our CIA made a pretty penny off captured opium fields, but the Taliban is again in charge, nothing changed except hidden bank account balances.

Spotify has all that. Not “stations” so much.

Type in “sleep mood” and you get playlists with days worth of various calming music.

Workout? What kind do you want? Hard rock, deep bass rap, whatever.

Sounds like I’m cheerleading for Spotify but it really is pretty good these days.

Tons of podcasts, mood collections, etc. I haven’t looked up a song or artist they didn’t have.

I am a paid user.

Do you have verifiable proof of what the record label gives an artist when a CD gets sold?
