“Winamp, it really whips the llama’s ass”
I… partially agree? There’s a bit of a difference between the targeted tracking a private individual does with an airtag, vs the generalized, but equally creepy tracking google/apple/others do through widespread tech. One definitely poses a greater short term risk than the other
They should take it literally, because it is meant literally!
They’re not exploiting customers, they are exploiting people. Those people are NOT their customers.
Facebook is literally selling people in data form. Everything you post, everyone you interact with, everything you look at across most of the web (not just facebook.com) is all catalogued and used to create a fingerprint that is a digital representation of you, and that is their product! “Essence of /u/Melt for sale here”
Their customers are advertisers.
ETA: Link
those running Facebook groups routinely find that their content isn’t even being shown to those who choose to follow them thanks to Meta’s outright abusive approach to social media where the customer is not only wrong, but should ideally have little control over what they see.
inhales deeply YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER!!! YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!!!
It astounds me how many people STILL don’t understand this
I prefer flipping that number on it’s head. 15%. They delivered 15% of what they promised and are now saying “fuck it.”
It’s the equivalent of writing your name on the exam, and then sitting there doodling for the rest of the time.
I feel this. I’m well aware that if my partner wasn’t on Facebook, we wouldn’t have a social life. I HATE that fact, but that, sadly, is where people put their events. I don’t think I’d join if she left, but I can’t deny that I benefit from her being on the platform.
She won’t leave until everybody else does, and they won’t leave until everybody else does, and so nobody leaves. It’s dystopian.
You’re forgetting about the schmuck on the other end of that equation that has to answer the same question a thousand times over.

You really have no idea what you’re talking about, do you?

so I’ve just giving it a quick test vs google with the query “open source chromecast alternative”
the first result for both is a reddit post about NymphCast
it’s the rest of the results that are interesting though.
Google has a ycombinator news article about NymphCast and then decends into the usual “17 best chromecast alternatives in 2024” rubbish
Kagi on the other hand lists the github for NymphCast, and then goes on to list others… mirrorCast, pyCaster, free Cast, an article on using a raspberry pi as a chromecast alternative.
obviously this is only anecdotal, and very unscientific, but it’s got me interested for sure! Gonna bookmark it and see how it goes
I’d say it’s because Apple’s implementation isn’t essentially spyware at it’s core. The Microsoft implementation was straight up deranged and dangerous, frankly.
