Spotify gathers huge amounts of user data, has an Ai slop music problem and pays artists less than other platforms.
Spotify also platforms Joe Rogan.. Fuck that noise!
So are we talking about Spotify's flaws, or what is and is not a product of the USA?
US or not, ProtonMail is owned by a Trump supporter, I’d stay away from them.
Nah, the CEO is a liberal, but he seems a bit weird about some issues in a single issue voter way. Haven't seen anywhere that he is a Trump supporter, but he did support Gail Slater.
Firefox has been doing a lot of caving in as of late. Librewolf is a solid browser, just gotta adjust to setting a whitelist for cookies but it's smooth sailing after the fact.
I'm being earnest, how has Firefox caved in and to who?
They made a shitty change to their TOS regarding sharing user data with advertisers, then backtracked (appropriately, imho). It's the same issue as always - Firefox costs Mozilla millions of dollars to develop and maintain, and it's entirely funded by advertising companies. I personally think Mozilla does a pretty good job of balancing interests, but that is a long term problematic relationship for privacy respecting software. I don't think any of the forks solve that problem, as they are still dependent on all of Mozilla's development money to keep going, and Chrome based browsers are even worse. Modern browsers are just too damned expensive! Anyway, the drama: https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/03/mozilla-rewrites-firefoxs-terms-of-use-after-user-backlash/?guccounter=1
Chrome based browsers are even worse
IMHO "even worse" it not accurate here. Chrome based browsers are much worse, and they are always developing new technologies to exploit users' privacy for profit.
I think the only viable option is to leave Chrome ASAP (for everyone). If one is unsatisfied with Firefox's policy (we should!), then to choose a non-Chromium browser carefully
Here's 2 additions: the Summit and Connect Lemmy apps are canadian!
