@macst3r @lauteshirn @MBrandtner @giggls @kuketzblog Das kann ich nachvollziehen und stimme teilweise zu. Lernen am Beispiel ist aber immer noch didaktisch unschlagbar und im Gegensatz zu proprietärer Software, Hardware, Plattformen usw. erhalten die Lernenden ein Mitbestimmungs- und ggf. bspw. bei der Wahl eines @matrix Clients auch Selbstbestimmungsrechte.

Nicht zuletzt können engagierte Menschen in den kennengelernten Projekten vielseitig unterstützen, lernen #FreieSoftware Gemeinschaften ganz natürlich kennen und können die Vorgehensmodelle der Softwareentwicklung in diesem Bereich besser verstehen und mitgestalten.

Das ist natürlich ein weiter Weg und es gibt darauf andere Brennpunkte, aber im Sinne von Nachhaltigkeit und Wissensvermittlung unschlagbar gegenüber dem meist nur schmalspurigem Nutzungsrecht proprietärer Lösungen, insbesondere bei #BigTech Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Tesla, X Corp, ... und anderen intransparenten #Datensammler Unternehmen.

Keep in mind that if you visit a hospital website, Big Tech and date brokers might very well have your visitor and health data, HIPPA and COPPA be damned. https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/11/hospital_website_data_sharing/

...the #media, including #SocialMedia, must be made more resilient. Despite the rancid taste of anti-competitive lobbying by #BigTech, forcing a sale of #TikTok is a step in the right direction. ANY foreign media ownership should be scrutinized, in particular, if the owner(s) are not sole citizens of a country that belongs to #NATO (potentially problematic: #Hungary, #Turkey, previously #Poland,...

When it comes to the growth of a company or product, it's both crucial and beneficial to remember the lessons learned from past blunders.

Take one Tech Giant's finger-pointing incident, for instance, where blaming their product users for a design flaw backfired spectacularly.

With Vivaldi, we take a different approach. Dive deep into how we prioritize feedback from people using our products and empower you to tailor your browsing experience to your unique preferences.

We believe our tech shouldn't dictate your browsing experience; it should adapt to you.

So, whether you're a minimalist or a power user, Vivaldi has something for everyone.

@redking well, one of the best things about the #Fediverse is the user which doesn't like their server admin blocking the #Fedbook sponsored #Threads can #SelfHost a server to federate with #Fakebook.

The Fediverse gives US ALL the power that ALL of these #destructive #WalledGarden & #Centralized #BigTech #SurveillanceCapitalist corporations would never want you to have.

@matuzo But what about their spiffy surveillance notice? Doesn’t that count for something?

...dem #TechnoFeudalherren nicht passen, filtert man nicht nur die unliebsamen Themen vorab heraus, sondern schöpft sich auch noch das Sahnehäubchen an positiven (traffick generierenden) Antworten ab.

Eigentlich dann nicht nur das Gegenteil sondern die Perversion vom "#Meinungsfreiheit".

The DoJ adding to #Apple's already packed issues that's happening across the Atlantic feels good. We need more competition in the mobile phone space after all.

Except that *#Technofeudalism by (chiefly #US) #BigTech is a reality:*

The #Chinese counterparts are insignificant abroad, except for #ByteDance, #TikTok's parent company.

Given that #Germany's #SAP has a 99% global market penetration rate* in #ERP system of international companies, it would need to be counted in as well, if it weren't in the #B2B market only.
The same is true for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.

*not market share!

But I’m confused… Mastodon gGmbH and Meta Platforms, Inc. are besties according to Mastodon gGmbH CEO.¹

There must be some mistake.

“The true con artist doesn’t force us to do anything; he makes us complicit in our own undoing. He doesn’t steal. We give. He doesn’t have to threaten us. We supply the story ourselves. We believe because we want to, not because anyone made us. And so we offer up whatever they want—money, reputation, trust, fame, legitimacy, support—and we don’t realize what is happening until it is too late.”

The W3C – the standards body of surveillance capitalism – on privacy.

If you had any “privacy principles” to speak of, what would Adobe, Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Bloomberg, Google, Huawei, IAB, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, Bilibili, SoftBank, Tencent, Yahoo!, Zoom, etc., be doing on your members list?

#Apple's malicious #DMA #compliance has just gotten even more malicious:

When an #EU user installs a third-party app store with #iOS 17.4 and travel outside the EU "for a longer period of time", that app store will stop working.

So they will stop getting updates. From the oh-we're-so-secure phone company. Seriously #WTF Apple.
