You’re talking aspirational, I’m talking the economic and political realities of Australia.

So to answer your question, no, I don’t think it can change, but not because they don’t want to, as I don’t know what’s in their hearts, but because their economy is structured around resource extraction.

So fine, talk all the aspirational talk, but just know that you’re putting a fox in the hen house, which I’m pretty sure is exactly why they removed the petro-states.

Australia is pretty much run by the coal and mining industries.

It’s not an insult, just a fact.

Of course not, my favorite influencer has three dozen sugar gliders as part of her ferret hybridization program.

If I had a nickel…

That wasn’t built around agentic AI integration.

This will be.

The exception that proves the rule.

That still won’t remove all the underlying spyware built into the core system, and yes, it is inevitable that an update will reinstall at least some of those applications.

At least, assuming they haven’t changed that strategy from Windows 10, which regularly reinstalled MS apps that users had removed.

Any information you provide to an AI that you don’t control, will be used against you.

Whether intentionally, as designed, or unintentionally through incidents like breaches.

We all knew this would happen.

But I have to admit even I am shocked how quickly they moved on this.

The mask is off and clearly they don’t feel they need to waste any time pretending that they aren’t, who we all know they are, or that they don’t want, what we all know they want.

It’s systemic, and whether or not it’s perpetrated directly by big tech, they are the primary beneficiaries i.e. increased ad sales.

This is a problem that requires regulation, which means it will not be addressed meaningfully, as that won’t happen anytime soon.

Not entirely true, but necessarily false either.

Projectivy launcher for Android TV is great and will remove home screen ads, and provide a much more streamlined interface overall.

Apple TV is really nice though, clean, smooth, and stable. I honestly would recommend that to most people, especially if they already have Apple products.

I have no idea what you’re going on about.

It’s not a matter of betrayal, it was a video revealing another area of influence in society that is now controlled behind the scenes by private equity.

Whose work was I shitting on? I was shaming people who were down voting that very well sourced and informative video, that documented private equity’s quiet takeover of major YouTube channels.

Maybe you should review the comment thread and see if you meant to respond to someone else, because that’s the most charitable explanation I can come up with for your responses to me.

I didn’t single out any particular YouTube channel for individual scorn. My comment was in reference to that very well sourced video about private equity buying up / investing many YouTube channels, of which they provided sources for in the description of the video.

The video which made the accusations, not me, provided sources for all of their claims.

Did you even look?

Sorry, that was rhetorical, obviously you did not look.

Anyone down voting this should be ashamed of themselves.

Like deeply and personally ashamed.

The type of shame that follows them for the rest their lives, because that’s how scummy you’d have to be in order downvote someone shining a light on how private equity is buying out major YouTube channels.

Something that I was entirely unaware of, and appreciate your comment regarding.

Google stopped pretending and went full evil a while ago.

Apple still pretends to be a “good” corporation that guards its users privacy and protects them from government overreach.

“The Democrats didn’t fail us. We failed them”

Call me when any future Democratic AG’s do anything to prosecute any of this.

I’ll be holding my breath.

I guess it depends on your needs, but given that they are CS students, they may want newer updates than Debian Stable provides.

I know snap is shit, but Ubuntu is still one of the default recommends for new users, but yes, my preference is Mint for new users.
