My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.

Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.

There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.

So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?

Always mirror your content on a few PeerTube sites. When 1 goes down, its your responsibility to re mirror

Fuck this. I get fulfillment through work.

What I want is for my labor to be helpful to humanity, not some corporation.

clever_banana,

It’s also gobs of telemtey and AB testing constantly watching how you’re interacting with what’s on the page and changing what you see to figure out what makes you engage more & longer. All that processing requires a lot of resources compared to sites that respect your privacy.

Downvoted for picture of text. Please link to the page and transcribe it if you want to post a picture too. Blind people can’t read images of text.

clever_banana,

Yet lots of people upvoted them. Probably because many people here bought devices from them and were extremely disappointed.

The communities opinion of Purism is low for a reason, our collective experiences.

clever_banana,

Public disclosure is typically done 90 days after Deva are privately notified. That should be enough time for security-critical bugs.

Tails is pretty cool and literal life saver for some peoples
