The website is trash can someone summarize?

"Why do you guys simply believe things should get better?"

That is how I read this. More power, more efficiency, better tech is not a bad thing to want.

Just because you want to hold on to a 5 year old phone doesn't mean someone else doesn't at least want to see efficiency in our pockets get better for the value we spend on them.

Imagine if someone said, I have dial up internet. Why are you guys constantly wanting faster Internet speeds.

It's okay to want things to get better. You should not have the mentality of, "it's just good enough."

I second this. Lemmy is fully of "techy people" that think the only way to be "techy" is the way they define it without realizing if you aren't universally adept or open then you are curating your content to a point you are part of the "sheep" you claim not to be a part of.

If you like anything you pay for then you are wrong. If you still use Windows you are wrong. You need to abandon everything Google and Apple but still buy a Google product and run a degooglefied version of the product. So give the company you hate your money but not your data. Makes perfect sense.

It's either Linux or the highway but not everyone wants to use a terminal to use Mullvad or Tor every time you want to access the web to shop for a pair of shoes. Despite the fact you can write a script that still requires you to use a terminal to run Tor or what ever.

Not everyone wants Torrent speeds to pirate that piece of Microsoft software or movie. Some of us want to be, "normies" and just buy and use things that work without all the work that is unnecessary in our every day lives. We want to go to work, make money, spend time around people and things we love.

Yes, we get it we are the reason corporations and capitalism exist but I don't see your FOSS downloads and open source software slowing that way down. We don't need online tech heros who can prove you can free yourself. We need activists and people like that running got local politics and leadership helping actually put a stop to being taken advantage of.

Posting something about Unity enraging game companies is something anyone can do. But shoving a community off that you should be respectfully educating rather than shunning just because someone didn't want to pirate a movie and instead watch it on a Windows machine through Linux isn't or doesn't change anything.

I am no longer on Reddit but Lemmy is fully of tech people who also often have 0 fucking clue what they are talking about. Which is quite ironic.

An easy barrier of entry isn't always the issue at hand. I think what the user is saying, hate Google or not, you are at the very least safe to some degree. A lot of people don't realize that VPNS are just ways of manipulating where your data goes and who sees it and that VPNs can be abused as services even if they aren't Google.

Those same services can sell your data just the same as Google. Let's not forget that the "mega corp" everyone loves to hate is the reason you have Android competing against iOS which is part of another mega corp. People on Lemmy should get the fuck off their high horses.

Mario Kart, I was a military brat my dad was kind of a jerk he played to beat me one day I got really good and kept beating him. He quit playing after that. Then he quit with everything else I beat him at.

I am about to go back to reddit because Lemmy users suck as human beings. I can't believe the user base that was here before Reddit users think they are somehow fucking better.

They think they are alternative to an average person somehow. Constant posts about how they are different but after seeing a post of them comparing trans protesting to the extremism of the KKK and seeing the comments be full of people talking about how they are "middle people" they "stay on the fence" and are "different" because they don't believe in being extremist. I think I am done with this fucking place.

"Ah yes, I can operate and use the internet entirely free of charge and those running the internet can also profit and run it free of charge."

Apparently people have no idea how the Internet came to be and how it operates.

Do you know of any other product that does things just as well?

Get th fuck out of here.

Lemmers like you are the problem.
