i don’t want to offend anyone, but some open source/privacy enthusiasts dislike google, but why?? google has made chromium, android, etc and most of the things they do are open source, and not only that, they also support creative commons media or public domain. i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never do anything bad to you. i love google personally because of their commitment to open source software.

You shouldn’t love any company. They won’t love you back. They only use you to make money.

maybe they won’t love me back personally, but they will love the community back. for example the cute android easter eggs, the offline dinosaur game, it’s like a hug to the community.

I swear some people take it as a challenge.

Edit: nah, there is literally no way this guy’s not trolling, and badly at that.

(this is unrelated but I’m not trolling, I’m very sorry if my opinion about Google is bad, but I am ok with hearing the opinions of other people and maybe change a little bit, I don’t only love Google, I also love open source, Ubuntu, etc)

They sell ad spots based on their data about you - IMHO that’s very different from outright selling your data.

lawsuit claims

It’s right in the title. So you claim it is true. I can also claim that you sell my personal data. Doesn’t make it true.

Let that lawsuit play out, and wait for the verdict.

Why bother asking if you’re not going to look it up and just say it’s not true?

well, with all blog articles, not everything has to be taken literally, maybe sometimes it’s just criticism or a misunderstanding. for example breaching user security, yes they did it, but for the safety of other people, so i’m sorry.

That would be bad for business. Why sell data to the highest bidder once when you can insert yourself in their value chain and seek rent forever?

No Stupid Questions

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Create post

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
