Bought a new phone. Transferring stuff with the Samsung utility worked quite OK. The only apps which are completely copied over including all history and even the notification sounds:

  • signal
  • mastodon
    All other apps had some issues. All these are ad laden user data gathering behemoths.
    What is it what makes multinational corporations not respect basic rules of the OS?
    Signal and mastodon show that it is not impossible to offer a seamless experience.

None of what I’ve said here should be taken as a defence of BTW, it’s simply an observation of actual reality that so called “free market conservatives” are rarely capable of even recognising, let alone dealing with. Incidentally the same reality is what drives what @pluralistic calls and it’s always as bad as he suggests.

“It is just over,” journalist @caseynewton told The Post.

“If you wouldn’t join Gab, or Parler, or Truth Social, there’s no reason you should be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and publishers, in particular, to acknowledge the new reality and to get the heck off that website.”

most people don't do the right thing even when it's obvious, but that which serves their immediate interests. look at people switching to other closed platforms. their own selfish math should tell them these platform owners too will squeeze them when they become dominant and have the power to do so with little cost.

when will the popular people recognize their power to act collectively and permanently free themselves (and us)?

Mistä johtuu että kaikki isot nettipalvelut tuntuvat olevan matkalla kohti järjettömyyttä? Lintula on oma lukunsa, mutta kun pitkästä aikaa kokeilin käyttää Amazonin nettikauppaa, tuntui se olevan täynnä huijausyrityksiä enkä löytänyt sitä mitä etsin. Jäi nettiostos tekemättä.

I just backed @pluralistic to snatch a copy of The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation, via Kickstarter.

Please listen to Corys intro over at Kickstarter, it really sets the stage for the book. Looking forward to reading!
