  • i hate all tech corps. you can use (and even like) their products and also think they are evil, oligopolies and all.

    i cant abandon my gmail because i don’t even know how many sites and how many people i have given it to. i like youtube because it’s THE slop factory. Maps is also pretty good, love Street View, Chrome is ‘ok’ but Firefox is a perfectly usable (and in many ways, better) substitute (especially given Google’s ad shenanigans).

    Global privacy based Gpay alternative does exist, see monero. Monero is less than ideal because of its volatility though. Also, really difficult to convert to actual money.

    The thing with Gpay (American one) is that they don’t handle the actual transfer for domestic transactions, Visa and Mastercard does.

    Security through obscurity doesn’t really work well. Look at how Windows is closed source yet most malware is made for it due to its.market share.

    Also, Chrome is kinda open source (not completely but look at Chromium).

    With open source, if there is a security issue, it can be identified and fixed quickly. If the dev doesn’t fix it, you or someone else could fork the project and patch it.

    also

    Reddit banned about 2,000 subreddits on Monday, most notably r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse, in a move the platform said was intended to crack down on online communities that “promote hate.”

    In a Reddit post, CEO Steve Huffman said the decision comes after discussions about how the platform can “[close] the gap between our values and our policies to explicitly address hate.”

    sure, brigading, sure.
