I feel like Apple is much less threatening as a monopoly than a loooot of other companies…?

Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.
I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.
I want no part to do with them after they got all the Google domains—they’re not a company I would have willingly supported before, so I’m not about to now that I’ve been forced into it.
I love how the words they chose to bold were VOTING and BIDEN for their message.
Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.
I just read the best book, you should check it out. Credit to the author of it.
I for one am quite confident it’s not me.
The only absolute with these devices is that you don’t get what you pay for. Inevitably it will completely change without your consent, and generally it will deliberately be for a worse experience since you’re captive.
That’s the hilarious(ly depressing) thing about buying a digital movie, for example, to me.
If you rent it, you get it for a certain amount of time.
If you ‘buy’ it, you also rent it, just for an undisclosed amount of time that they may or may not retroactively take away from you at any point with no warning or compensation.
Clicking an image on Twitter and it actually being an external link was the last thing I ever did on that platform.
My car battery went dead the day before the time change. I was so close.
My usage dropped for a while, but it’s the only ‘social media’ that doesn’t actively leave me feeling worse about the platform and the world after using it.
And yet this is 2 posts down from an article about their price hikes and increase in ads coming up.
Google’s relevance of search has gone extremely downhill in the last few years even before the surge of AI articles, so it’s no surprise the keyword-injected articles are all that’s winning now.
But holy shit does it piss me off how many of these first page results have literally incorrect information now too. Want to learn how to do something in software? See a release date? Find accurate information? Good fucking luck.
The only videos that show up on my Twitter are literal war crimes, gore, NFSW, NFSL… I’m sure being LiveLeak Jr is doing great things for bringing advertisers back.
It’s insane how many people already take AI as more capable/accurate than other medium. I’m not against AI, but I’m definitely against how much of a bubble of being worshipped that some people have it in.
