I am assuming this was meant to be posted in a different community? Or did OP decide to get some feedback by posting to the largest community they could find?

Roblox said it is designed with “rigorous built in safety features” and is “continually innovating new safety features — over 100 this year alone — that protect our users and empower parents and caregivers with greater control and visibility.”

The fact that they are framing it in this manner “100 features in this year alone” (what does this even mean?) suggests that they don’t care.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that Yen is this naive.

As a Proton subscriber not from the US (but who has lived in the US); I find it difficult to believe that anyone could seriously claim that any of the two major US political parties have any interest in real competition and anti-trust.

One has to remember the Microsoft case from the 90s. I still don’t understand what the “legal excuse” was for not breaking up Microsoft.

Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).

This is an issue with Lemmy too. Searching for a community by keyword ranks the results list by subscribers not by MAUs

Austin is the CEO of a spyware company, while these days it’s not seen this way, it’s not too far from being a leader of a criminal organization (in my humble opinion).

Are you being sarcastic?

Monopoly money using image generation ML tech for the design. Special partnership with HP for printing these notes.

That’s the first thing that came to mind.

Some sort of scheme.

I am curious how they are planning to ban Mastodon. I am assuming they are going to block say the top 25 instances?

Mental illness.

How so? It’s pretty clear that Proton using “open source” in context of their LLM service is demonstrated to be false.

American version of propaganda.

I am really hoping that PostmarketOS will become more viable.

I’ve been trying to get rid of all American service provider (dropped netflix, duolingo); smartphones are more difficult though because they need to work.

F-Droid would likely be out because they rebuild many apps from source.

I am hoping PostmarketOS or perhaps SailfishOS get some much needed momentum both from Google’s actions and the fact that a lot of people (on a relative basis) are realising that many large American companies profoundly corrupt and cannot be trusted.

True, even in the early 2000s, an application tracking your laptop locations would be treated as extremely dangerous spyware and the relevant could would be treated as a borderline criminal actor.

People use Android to not have such restrictions.

Something like F-Droid (which published its own builds from source) would likely not be possible with such a model.

I will transition off Android if this gets deployed, this is unacceptable.

I don’t buy the malware arguement. Most major social apps function like malware (tracking location and anything they can). In the 90s, any app that did that (say to your laptop) would be treated as spyware.
