Damn, you guys are pretentious as hell in this thread lmao

I did not learn that in any of my schooling lol

And yet the top comment here is clearly someone who didn’t even click the link lol

these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software

and hardware apparently lol

What’s your point? The dude gave a perfectly valid reason to not using Firefox, regardless of who’s fault it is.

But also, how on earth would building a functional browser for a phone that owns 55% of the US market share be a waste of time and resources?

I don’t own an iPhone, but this seems like a totally fair criticism and I don’t see any replies refuting it, so what’s with all the downvotes? I swear to god this place is ridiculous sometimes, these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software. Only positive feedback allowed!

This lawsuit has nothing to do with data collection

This is going absolutely nowhere, I guarantee it. Meta is a business, so yes, they intentionally seek to increase engagement, this isn’t illegal (see every other industry with children as a demographic).

“Manipulative features” is incredibly subjective and hard to prove. “Lowering self-esteem” is also very, very difficult to prove, especially since an Oxford study came out recently showing no evidence linking Facebook adoption and negative well-being. On top of that, proving Meta did this all intentionally for profit is basically impossible, unless they have some sort of crazy smoking gun that I’m sure they don’t have, otherwise they’d be approaching this from another angle.

I know everyone around here wants to see big social media fall, but this ain’t it. At most they’ll settle for a small undisclosed amount, allowing the AG a “show of force” and Meta to avoid anything public.

And apparently don’t display your art criticism to the world if you aren’t strong enough to get harassed? What a time to be alive

Hey look, someone who only read the headline!

In the interest of making criticisms factually correct, they don’t “sell” user data, they make money through targeted advertising using user data. They actually benefit by being the only ones with your data, it’s not in their interest to sell it.

It was a free update/upgrade for CS:GO. That’s like saying v2.0 killed v1.9.

Also, major upgrades for free ten years after release is frankly unheard of. This isn’t a “trend”

CS:GO is over a decade old and certainly isn’t “killed”, does the author just not want new games to be released ever? I feel like everything posted nowadays is ragebait.

What if users find the article itself to be misinformative, is that something moderators will look at if reported with evidence?

I feel like there was a big push for quantity of content on Lemmy, so everyone set up bots to push content to Lemmy and now we’re stuck with a bunch of shitty content on Lemmy lol.

I’m sure that would have really hurt my feelings if I knew absolutely nothing about myself.

Clearly your head is so far up your own ass that you don’t know anything about yourself. Do you really think I’m here to “hurt feelings”? Says more about you than it does about me doesn’t it.
