So, are these articles supposed to support your argument? Because they do the exact opposite.

Or have you completely missed the point?

tungah , to technology in Unity May Never Win Back the Developers It Lost in Its Fee Debacle

I think it’s vital that the community now makes the effort to recreate what was made around Unity with the voluntary support material and everything that made it a reference of approachability, over with an open source alternative that may become definitive.

Going to Unreal Engine, even though it might look like the obvious move atm, might be near sighted, and unwise.

What’s preventing this from happening again down the line with another big corporation? Monetary incentives always change.

Is it Godot? Maybe.

The community needs it’s blender, and now may be the best opportunity to do it. It’s a matter of organization and foresight. It’s been proven to be doable.

Are there even distinct groups we’re talking about anymore?

tungah , to technology in Whatsapp is going to run terribly...

This contrived correlation you’re trying to establish just doesn’t hold up to the statistics or common sense.

In every country there are individuals who value digital privacy and/or security.

The truth is, these individuals are the minority in virtually every case. The majority of the population, irregardless of overall education or social status, just doesn’t care enough to act upon the compromises necessary for a more private and secure digital life, instead opting for the more convenient way of doing things.

People in general just love having easy access to online services, and oversharing their information, either with Big Tech, or their peers over social media. That’s just human behavior.

Education could perhaps bring consciousness about this issue, but it’s most often the product of an individual concern. And this just can’t be simply related the way you’re insisting here.

There are no digital privacy/security classes in the structured general education on “more developed” countries. At least not contrasting with the lack thereof on the “least developed” countries in a statistically meaningful way.

We’re getting used to seeing the EU having to step in and legislate against or punish corporations on their abuse of customer data, just for that same legislation not to encounter an equivalent on the United States, or other “more developed” countries.

You gave the example of the coup in Mianmar, and the role of social media manipulation though fake news, and so on.

Do you really think people in Mianmar, or India are more manipulated by these apps than, say, people in the UK, Germany, or Switzerland?

Have you ever tried to talk about geopolitical events with the average Joe in Denmark? How about in the USA?

tungah , to android in Android turned 15 years old yesterday!

Give me a modern Nokia N900 form factor and I’ll buy it in a heartbeat. Better yet if it can dual boot Android and Linux.

This would make me as happy as a kid on a Christmas morning.

Are you saying there’s a relation between the use of Whatsapp and education or economic levels of a country? What are you on about?

tungah , to technology in Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.

tungah , to technology in People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office

I fucking love the Thinkpad design.

tungah , to asklemmy in What nonfiction books have caused a paradigm-shift in your life?

Definitely. As a total layman in this kind of stuff, I believe I’ve read The Selfish Gene first, but at the time I was so eager to consume as much knowledge as possible in this subject, that I could maybe be misremembering all the effort and research it took for me to understand it. It’s a fascinating book, but more specific.

Imo, Unweaving the Rainbow has a much broader appeal and is much easier reading. They’re both very different books.

tungah , to asklemmy in What nonfiction books have caused a paradigm-shift in your life?

Unweaving the Rainbow by Richard Dawkins

The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan and Ann Driyan

Read them when I was in my early 20s. Changed the way I see the world.

Don’t be a cunt.

tungah , to technology in Twitter's removal of block function appears to violate both Apple and Google's app store policies

All these decisions from this guy as head of Twitter really put those videos of SpaceX rocket explosions into a new perspective.

tungah , to showerthoughts in Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes.

Yes. Put the ads directly into my subconscious. Lovely idea!

tungah , to technology in It’s time for Americans to embrace small cars

It’s the 70s all over again.
