Apple does though. Just not as much as google.

Google is an ad company. It has other products but at the end of the day it’s just a bloated as company. Apple isn’t.

Apple still uses that data and I think it pretty much has to sell it to use it.

I think there definitely things we can do as consumers. Force companies to be transparent and make sure they encrypted all data so it’s less dangerous to its users. Same procedure for data collection for research.

Ive been moving to brave but now I’ve just moved everything over to Firefox now. I will try out duck duck. Didn’t they recently get in trouble for selling data.

I’m in the Google ecosystem and use a pixel phone. I’m very google. I used to love company but I was young and naive. I hate apple with a passion so I’m kinda screwed either way.

I can go live in a cave and not use any devices and it would make zero difference to these companies. So it’s really just for my own.

I use Google photos. I pay for extra space. I’m sure there are plenty I can move to but if it disappears then I’ll lose everything. Big risk.

I have Gmail/ Hotmail. If there’s a new email I can use that’s easy and works then I can move. Unfortunately a huge issue that we all will have will be changing emails for hundreds of accounts. 2fa set ups and accounts and all sorts.

Does Android Auto run on third party stuff. Maps I need for work and just life in general.

Yeah so you use an iPhone. Apple. Fantastic. A trillion dollar company. It never svuses it’s Power. So all android users shall move to apple. C’mon now.

I find dick dick go gives horrible search results. So you basically just use all apple products instead

And what phone are you using ? What apps do you use

Google is pretty integrated into life.

Yes fuck them but don’t lie.

Read it who ?

Same. I’ve moved to summit and kbin

Literally had my account banned for Calling out power hungry mods.

One mod was on rspiders and a recounted a take about my gfs friend being bitten by a spider. Perma banned and because I had 3 strikes I was permanently banned from reddit.

Just fucking stupid. Fuck em all.

Basically the bouncers of the internet

Thankfully just finished Valhalla. It was good in points and a real slog in others. The world was beautiful and enjoyed traversing ancient England.

I accidentally (wished) Stadia had stayed around but I bought a bunch of games as they were on sale and didn’t think Stadia would fold so fast. Cannot trust google but I wanted so bad for it to succeed.

Anyway I bought lots of Ubisoft and a few others. Have been steadily making my way through them all and now onto odyssey. Really enjoying it. I think it’s just much brighter than Valhalla.

Also I dip in and out of valheim when I just want to chill out.

Gears 5 came out on GeForce so me and the Mrs have been trying to get into that. I’ve played them before but they are very slow going. Just the movement speed is slow and takes a long time to get hard to it.
