Wow cool, thanks for all the good info

Firedragon for desktop (fork of Floorp) and IceRaven for mobile (fork of Firefox)… Super happy with both

It’s called hyperbole

Iceraven for the win!

Because <checks notes> money, the answer is money

So I guess this is what the consumers want because that is all these conglomerates offer, right? Right?

I think you overestimate the amount of knowledge, instinct and just plain research these VC people put on investments (I guess when you have money, if one of 10 hit you made it anyway?)

When the game Pokemon Go came out, Nintendo’s stock skyrocketed to the point Nintendo had to come out and publicly explain they had sold the IP, were not behind the game and made no money from it… “Investors” thought otherwise and started pouring money literally at the wrong company

There are plenty of similar examples…

I never understood the concept of trolling… Must be a sad life if trolling is enjoyable

I know… I explained to you why you can’t give a reason… your head is deep and permanently planted in the sand

Literally everything you have said about Linux is quite far off the mark… showing you are either trolling or simply repeating stuff you may have misinterpreted and know nothing about…

Live happy with you windows ads… Linux does not need you bud

Why do I need to try? I have absolutely no reason to ditch windows

My head is deep and permanently in the sand but I know all about the sky and fresh air and I’m here to tell you they suck

^ that’s you btw

Wow I had no clue… Thanks for sharing that info

Didn’t get to continue to over charge us until the world literally ends for humans…

I care little about that at this point to be honest with you …

The alternative is that these innovating companies would have milked the IP and/or shelved it if it means more money, fuck the people, fuck the environment, etc etc etc

If China’s IP theft brings the green revolution we knew we needed 50 years ago but the innovators sabotaged for profit, I’d consider China the robin Hood of the story

Did you not read it was China doing it? That’s all that’s needed to portrait anything as concerning, threatening and/or controversial

To be clear China’s government is terrible, but they could literally discover the cure for all diseases and make dogs live as long as their owners and it would still be reported in negative light because it’s China and not the USA

Fair… But I still suggest you take it for a spin

Yeap, it’s a completely different paradigm

Is that the difference? Wasn’t Toyota also in the business of selling your driving data to insurance companies?

I believe 100% that to be the case

And to be fair, they were upfront about it…

The problem now is that 1) Google products turned from innovative to barely functional (with every improvement coming in a soon to be killed new app) and 2) they went from your data to show you ads to profiling people’s fart strength

Now that I think of it, thesgiy e free products also differ from inflation … You get to pay with even more of your privacy for an increasingly shittier product

Insurance companies already extrapolate such data from zip code… So it’s not speculation at all that they’d want an even more accurate metric

Basically in today’s world, you’d have less than 1% of actors that would take this data and do something productive or beneficial for you or society as a whole… The other 99% will just use this data to make money on the back of others
