Encrypt all your real devices and use a dummy phone to cross. If you get questioned, give lawyer contact info and say nothing else

Thats already getting ppl arrested

Border security very likely uses israeli tech to download your whole drive. Even if they don’t I assume they would at least hold you for questioning if you did make such a profile

WhatsApp does a lot of damage. Even if they don’t read your messages (there is no evidence that they can’t, since WhatsApp is proprietary), they at the minimum know who you talk to and when, and they use that data across Meta services to track you.

Tubi is pure slop. They openly admit they are too privacy-invasive for EU laws lol

Why wouldn’t they?

The ultra wealthy

Are there communities on Lemmy for this? If not we should make one to share links and eventually torrents…

Banning computers as a whole, anywhere, is dumb. This way of thinking has similar shortcomings to the under-18 or under-16 social media bans. People eventually need to learn how to interact with computers, to be productive , social, access information, participate in democracy, etc We should instead focus on making social media and computing in general less exploitative and more democratic & open, not preventing children from having access to these things

If Gnome or KDE had gotten the money, important contributions would’ve been made to the Linux ecosystem, cause that’s what they do. Oligarchy Linux will at best contribute with nothing useful.

I think that’s an exact description of what’s happening here. Rich piece of shit starts an hobby and makes a shitty thing, gets an absurd amount of funding from his buddies, then makes the hobby worse for everyone else. Neat!

Apple Incorporated’s software looks more like the one on the left, but with a way more refined user interface… If we want OSS to be as good as possible then we need to compare our favorite software with other good software, not with Microslop. UI design matters and we should discuss it with less of a bias.

Yeah, they needed to capture a user base first and only then start enshittifying. This is what they always do - in software, hardware and other products & services

The new Qwen 3.8 and Gemma 4 models are honestly very good to the point I’ve stopped using proprietary models for most stuff, by running these on a Mac mini. No need for a data center with the energy consumption of Manhattan….

Have you used the app in question? There’s animated hi res backgrounds that have to be loaded for diff locations, a live map, tons of detailed widgets and animations… 300MB seems reasonable to me. You might not want any of these things on a weather app, hence there are many to choose from out there ;)

300mb is what apps on Android used to take up back when 4GB RAM was standard. Macs have shipped with 8GB on base model for many years. This is not an issue, sorry

Also macOS and iOS are basically the same OS under the hood at this point. They’re closer than many Linux distros are to each other

I wish the word explosion in that title was literal 💥🤭
