I don’t like playing the devil’s advocate but the only one with a walled garden is Apple
You can easily install plenty of alternative stores on android if you want (including the epic game store)

Nebula is the home of smart, thoughtful videos, podcasts, and classes from your favorite creators
It looks like it was not made for the type of content I created
Are real alternatives out there?
I wanted to create content in the fediverse for the fediverse, but after giving it a though uploading videos on youtube was the best option
I looked at peertube but:
-Most instances have limits
-I’d need to research who is using that instance because
-if it’s filled with tankies or other types of undesirable people some fediverse users will ask to be defederated from that troublesome instance and I’d get punished even if I did nothing wrong
In the end upload a video on youtube was the option that gives less headaches
It can’t be worse than the experience with ads they provide
Meanwhile I did nothing and everything is working
Who needs up to date misinformation when you can create your own misinformation?
It has happened multiple times, ChatGPT referenced to fake articles that were created by itself
Here we go again…
What happened to the goat that was genetically modified to produce spider silk more than a decade ago?
So more reasons to be EXTRA careful
How does this can happen?
As a driver if google tells me I should cross a bridge, but there is no bridge I look for a different route. I don’t try to cross the nonexistent birdge, that’s insane
He announced his boycotting of X on Meta’s new platform Threads
So twitter cesspool is bad but facebook scandals are ok?
I’ve never had facebook or twitter accounts because of of this:
“intimately know your personal information”
It will be the same with AI. Dystopian megacorps should not have access to my personal information
making value judgements on other poor people for being poor is not okay
luckyly for me, I’m not doing that
I’m not rich, I know what I’m talking about. When I’m going to spend money I have to look the best way to spend it, which is the best “invest”. Being wasteful is an luxury I personally can’t afford.
No, if you are poor you learn to value every cent and not being wasteful, if you have common sense, of course
I’d say it’s more expensive to lack common sense
It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby
just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run
And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don’t into that added value
Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.
Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn’t bought it
The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.
Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they’ll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)
Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?
Like adding to our comments stuff like “2+2=5” “Abraham Lincoln discovered America” and whatever silly statement you can think of
