This is an interesting take. Could you share some resources or links to follow this line of reasoning more in detail? Especially resources that are somewhat "noob-friendly". Cheers.

The discussion I stumbled upon, about this SSH app for Android, is really worrying. Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

But there's more to this, it's more complicated. In the Big Picture, Google has every incentive to make these changes — they lead to more security, and they're aligned with Google's corporate goals as well.

When talking to users, Google will emphasize control over hackers.

When talking to stockholders, Google will emphasize control over users.

Edit: I disagree with "they lead to more security". That's not "security", let's not turn words upside-down.

I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.

Absolutely, don't take my post too literally as I'm not very acquainted with the Fediverse yet :)

I see, I didn't know about that, thank you. May I ask: is the instance where the community is hosted that should do this, or the instance(s) of the subscribers?

Please feel free to delete my post if it's pointless then!

It seems this community is being targeted by ad bots. I see all of them come from a @szmer.info instance (or?). Maybe it should be banned?

This AI generated ad on the front page of a newspaper. Can you find what is wrong with it? in c/technology@lemmy.ml

The shadows are wrong too. The people at the front seem to have a strong light source from their left (but not all angles are correct); the ones at the back, from ahead of them.

As Netflix and producers of toilet paper know well, people in the end are happy to pay for things they like or need. But Google and its like have discovered that instead of selling stuff to me, it's much more profitable to sell me to others.

No thanks.

Are there foundations similar to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but with more international focus? in c/technology@beehaw.org

Indeed, that was my thought!

Thank you, I didn't know about EDRi, which EFF refers to!

I'm a member of the EFF, and its activities are great, but understandably have slightly more focus on USA-related matters. I say "but" just because I don't live in the USA.

Are there similar foundations that operate and focus/prioritize more on an international level? I don't manage to find any, but probably I'm doing the wrong kind of search.
