Internet is not a place for public discourse, it never was. it's the game of numbers where people brigade discussions and make it confirm to their biases.

Post something bad about the US with facts and statistics in US centric reddit sub, youtube video or article, and see how it divulges into brigading, name calling and racism. Do that on lemmy.ml to call out china/russia. Go to youtube videos with anything critical about India.

For all countries with massive population on the internet, you're going to get bombarded with lies, delfection, whataboutism and strawman. Add in a few bots and you shape the narrative.

There's also burying bad press with literally downvoting and never interacting.

Both are easy on the internet when you've got the brainwashed gullible mass to steer the narrative.

Everyone prefers free until they have to contribute to actually making things better. Most popular opensource project are funded by corporations for a reason.

And now they go silent.

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

If you're aligned with the west, anything goes, without consequences. If not, you're a terrorist whether you like it or not.

I say, expose all the concealed skeletons of all politicians, whatever brainwashed rhetoric they're pushing. Fuck Mao or Meow or whatever.

is that good enough for you?

Techcrunch has basically been an ad network for companies who want to promote themselves. Other open source projects probably don't have a budget to pay for an a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶ ad spot.

In India, perpetrators are usually arrested for protection from the mobs and quite release than for justice.

Competition is going to make things cheaper and the global markets has significant effect in world politics. Why do you think US defends Taiwan so much? because of the kindness in their hearts? Get real.

This has been proven time and again throughout history. It's probably a bit strange because of your prejudice.

The rest of us can't wait for competition to make it affordable at large and not being bound by monopolies. Everyone gets to choose where to buy the chips from. If that doesn't alter world politics you're too out of touch from reality.

Everyone wins except people like you. I guess.

You really shouldn't be using software that is in alpha stage of development, as the only browser.

There may be bugs and vulnerabilities no one has run into yet and bork your browser data.

I have devices with Android 4.4 still working smoothly. All these apple anecdotes that think Android just blows up after a few years is a shitty cope at best. There are also probably more old Android phones surviving in the wild considering how affordable they are and usually more repairable.

And guess what? without the OEM updates and playstore not having compatible apps usable anymore, there's still troves of opensource apps and development going on that make it still viable as an alternative usage like media consumption, storage, security camera, and more.

Unlike Apple, where you're just bound to a single store and no sideloading.

Android OEMs do suck at supporting their devices, is bloated but that doesn't mean they all commit mass suicide after few years as sheeples think.
