🇪🇺 Paul Schoonhoven 🍋🍉@catsalad @ReneDamkot that's the reason why I speeded up my efforts to move away from Android on my phone. (Years ago I moved from Microsoft to Linux already)
Part is the AI story.
The rest is the datagrab and also the unnecessary large use of resources (power & memory) to do the tasks at hand. Linux runs pretty well on 'old' windowmachines and the same seems with alternative OSs on Android phones.
GLAMspamInstead of a land grab, we are witnessing today a 'data grab' whereby our lives, in all their aspects, are being captured and converted into commercial profits, argue @couldrynick and @ulisesalimejias. How does this new era of informational power deepen existing global inequalities?
