I only see ads when I go to a friends house and they have that on the tv app blasting 1min ads every 5minutes.

what will happen to the shareholders. please someone think of them.

Yes.

It took years and legal pressure and fines to have other app stores decently recognized and allowed. I don’t understand how we are going so back. I mean I understand. Capitalism + monopoly + orange guy.

Now wait for when they will start to actively change and influence opinions!

I would fuck things up so bad out of spite if I was Iran.

On the first one there were limitations on the android emulation stack. Not sure how they managed afterwards on later OS releases or how it will go with newer ones.

It’s good. Just selfhost also.

Only after the nuclear bombs and full scale invasion they will think about it while still using it as official communication.

Just like I treat my car and for other that’s offensive because a car is a passion project. I can imagine the parallels.

I’m pretty sure I’ve clicked in like 3 ads in my life accidentally. But I saw people actively clicking in ads on purpose regularly and that shit shocked me completely. People don’t look at it as malware and phishing links like I do and think it’s a good thing. Internet was a mistake.

As a millennial who refuses to touch AI or use I’m already being bullied and excluded lol.

Of course they are.

Good good, let it flow.

It’s almost as if they had a dinner with all the big owners of all these stalkerware businesses to ensure allegiance to the new king beforehand.

It would not. People don’t care. People don’t care that meta is an evil corp. Encryption is not even close to the top 10 reasons people use that app. It’s just a random word normal users throw around because marketing told them it’s good.

Good. Dreaming of it. They should all collapse. Since none of these people go to jail that’s the minimum that can be done to balance the scales .

Look for another work place as soon as you can. If not you will forever be in the position of being the cleaner of their shit and you will not gain anything by it. They will get their metrics going up and you will be known to be the slow guy because you care about fixing the code.

And they are all getting dependent and addicted to something that is currently almost “free” but the monetization of it all will soon come in force. Good luck having the money to keep paying for it or the capacity to handle all the advertisement it will soon start to push out. I guess the main strategy is manipulate people into getting experience with it with these 2 or 3 years basically being equivalent to a free trial and ensuring people will demand access to the tools from their employees which will pay from their pockets. When barely anyone is able to get their employers to pay for things like IDEs… Oh well.
