I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a "sponsored recommendation".
Why am I seeing ads if I'm already paying for the premium plan!? π
If you're not paying you are the product. If you ARE paying you are STILL the product. This is how big tech works.
Basically every computer hardware manufacturer is collecting telemetry and sending it home. If youβre using MacOS or Windows, your OS is doing it aswell
Or Android, or iOS, or a Chromebook, or whatever other OS you're using next year, if it isn't some sort of Linux/UNIX system... and even some of those might not be great, but at least you can find out.
Tbh i have used linux on my home pc for years now and now they are very polished products , except most corporate apps are not there !
Which corporate apps?
Perhaps I'm lucky, but I rarely have an issue.
Adobe , microsoft office , catia etc etc etc
I mean.. Android and ChromeOS are Linux underneath. MacOS is.. related to Unix. Hang on, I need to look up that lineage..
Also Lineage.
Edit: MacOS used/uses the Mach kernel, and uses code βderived from BSDβ, vague as Wikipedia is. That could mean itβs a whole copy-paste or that it just borrows ideas from BSD.
It has a history in the US anti trust (when the laws really worked)
MacOS has userland tools from some FreeBSD version (quite obsolete, IIRC). Also there's a port of bhyve called xhyve for MacOS. Its kernel I wouldn't expect to have much in common with BSDs.
Android isn't in that list if you're using something like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.
I suspect that's a fraction of a percent of Android devices, though.
I wouldn't know about market share, but why would market share be a disqualifier to your statement? GrapheneOS and LineageOS are both massive projects with a lot of users. It should be mentioned for those that might be interested to know that they have an option for privacy. Not saying you were doing this, but I hate the defeatist attitude that everything tracks so why try? It's wrong.
I use LineageOS and Linux and FOSS apps/software and selfhost services... if it's something you care about, you can regain control and privacy over your data.
You become the product with name, address, and payment details attached to the account for improved demographic data for them to collect. Win win.
But you're paying for the GOOD recommendations now, not the free bad ones... /s
That's not how big tech works, it's how DRM works. It is possible to sell music/games/movies in an ethical way, without DRM.
