How many clues have been spilled here to show s/he is american?

Learned from the teacher. Thanks.

That’s what I feared and I removed my entire content from google photo 6 years ago. Also my spouse’s.

I have seen worse. Normie’s around me use their phone to capture photo of the laptop screen and send the low pixel photo with less than half part in it including the actual document.

Don’t underestimate the power of Normies. They don’t know what a ransom is, nor the value of their own data. Any email requesting for ransom will go unnoticed or marked spam, and users will live in their normie nirvana, while their digital self will lie floating around internet, which they wont give a damn. After all, all their Facebook photos and tiktok videos are already out.

They will most likely continue to use win 10 oblivious of its EOL. I have seen many using windows 7 even now. Some tech-aware will install win11 in the same machine by registry hack or sth. Very, very few will consider the possibility of alternatives.

Far better. Let the crowd shout. Win 8.1 was the last version enjoyable.

Shows how much been biased countrywise the posts are. And internet in general.

You don’t know bang! ? Oh, google doesn’t have the feature.

Spot on mate! Love you. Made my day

No. Moneyory fine should not be a form of punishment. I am for old fashioned style, an extreme example is to call the CEO, make him dance around the EU naked and then make him collect the shoes while returning home.

Mega uses e2ee and is available in all platforms I use. I don’t use apple. Web interface is very functional. I think it does support sharing files via link. Should have a search feature also, never used (because I know exactly where I keep my files). It does sync with locals. I don’t know about android file picker.

Mega is not a good choice for Lemmy users or Foss activists, probably because of its history - which is not as clean as say next cloud, but is not like google either. As long as it works :/

We are talking for the normies here. And it is becoming more and more difficult to block ads and trackers even for moderately savvy person.

One way to look at this is that if you buy a bike, you should have at least basic understanding of its work and repair process. If you run a car, you should know the traffic rules. Similar in internet world, but only not explicitly implied.

Ignorant people should not be taken advantage of. But this is more like a principle than application. Currently, the internet is like a wild wild west. The more techy you are, more you can save your mental health. It is just the lack of awareness in people that make companies take advantage of them. IMO, Tech-literacy is a necessity, just like traffic rules or basic life support.

I hope GDPR covers the HP’s practice in coming days in Europe. Others might follow.

If a private company has to succeed, it has to offer things ** that normies want.** FB/G is shit because this is what normies consume - the ego-display, the dopamine kick. In every enshittification of a service, there is a history of it being cravingly indulged by the mass. Now when the companies started rising up and used their monopoly, they (the normies) are realizing they have been shit-eating for a long time. One may argue the companies were not so in the beginning, but that would be a very myopic view.

Source of the info?

Or 8. 8.1, actually.

…you would have to install plugins and make it your own.

Reminds me of gnome.

Thanks, I will search. But I still want to know about my question.
