he can’t win this, can’t he?

“i want to buy this.”
“NOOO, YOU CAN’T DO THAT!”
“ok, i won’t buy it.”
“NOOO, NOW YOU HAVE TO!”
“ok, i bought it.”
“WE WILL NOW INVESTIGATE YOU!”

one does not have to like him to see the pattern behind this, just like the farce with investigating spacex for “discrimination” for not hiring migrants and foreigners even tho the law explicitly forbids the company to do so because of national security concerns.

/b/ (or /pol/) exploiting a loophole in a webservice for teh lulz, more news at 11.

“glasshole” all over again - guess it’s too long already since google flopped with this.

doesn’t matter what you think when it’s not relevant. not every internet connected device is sending personal data of it’s user to google or any other adspace reseller.

no.

why would i buy a machine i have to “hack” in the first place to use it as i need it to when i can have a similar or better machine for less money without any restrictions?

move out of the city, away from any night light and then just ignore the occasional ring of dots that takes up like 0.00003% of the night sky for the average stargazer; why does everyone now pretend to be copernicus?

engineers and the military talked about space junk for obvious reason, but no one lamented working satellites because the antagonist celeb of the month launched them into space.

… and by that, a chromebook is a great extension within this business model since it leaves you know choice but to use the botnet :)

you’re confusing things, i talk about not handing over my internet profile and it’s associated data to a conglomerate to make money off it, you talk about anonymity. two different pair of shoes.

early millennial. it’s just funny how many ppl start to become critical about “space junk” since they realized that “twitter man bad” has some of them, ignoring, how dependent they are on all that stuff flying around there. love your sidestep to the current day topic, tho.

if you love being the product, go ahead. i haven’t used any gapp in years and don’t feel like i’m missing something.

google is a machine learning, data harvesting botnet most ppl opt in consensual.

i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that “we” are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want’s a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.

i was talking about the botnet that is google itself, with chromebooks being a literal physical part of it.

impressive! the ultimate botnet machine!

1. no and just a 0,0x% of android users do that
2. yes
3. yes

Now leave.

“circlejerk” is the magic word. it’s funny how many threads are just meta discussion about the platform and why “the old ones” are trash and doomed to fail, like some ppl have to convince each other over and over again that it’s the others that miss out.

no, it won’t, nor will xitter of facebook. it’s delusional to think multi-billion-dollar-platforms backed by big money, the content industry and several clandestine consortiums will cease operation because a single digit percentage of users decided that some hobbyist internet platforms held together by tape and a hail marry are the future. we’ll be lucky if places like this are still around in a few years.
