First time that I read the article (it’s a few years old).

What stands out to me is the following:

a) the one thing keeping heavy monitization and fully eroding of User privacy within the app at bay is the strong encryption - if Facebook finds a way to get rid of it (or maybe they are contempt with the ways they found to link Metadata to users?), that’s a step they are going to do. b) the moment one sells the company/ownership switches to a publicly traded company, even when you have employees fighting against it, it goes downhill from there. Even if you are competent and have the willpower and dedication and standing to advocate for the right path, you mitigate at best - and only for some time.
c) and finally the big force in all of that: in the article you’ll find Zuckerberg communicating to the WhatsApp that Wallstreet expects growth. Growth that they need to provide by compromising WhatsApps integrity.

Once you are part of the publicy traded world, agency and independency is lost to an extend that is not recoverable. I see it time and time again.

Now I want to know the answer to the clutch question ☺️

That was a great read!

Just wanted to mention that fortnite does not work on Linux due to anticheat. Reports for game compatibility can be found at protondb

Guess the sidebar could use some description. I scratched my head a bit what this is about 😊

I feel very sad. Whatever happened to you, I hope the pain will vanish eventually.

Depression is the thing I deal with, for now I’ve got the upper hand. It was not always that way.

I’m traveling until the end of the week, but would be open to text.

It makes Me sad to read what people and life forced upon you.

I wish you love and warmth I will be thinking about you.

Love it 😆

Nice observation. Nonetheless it is wrong in any circumstance.

Guess it might be benefitting from fans though 😄

Haha, that also came to mind, it’s pretty poor. Paraphrasing: "Users on Metacritic saying it “ruined” the online mode - an indicator that they are very displeased. "

You don’t say? 😄

1. yes but 2. an investment into the future is surely not too early for alonso towards the end of his career

Ja schon, und wie lautet nun der Name? 😉

Greetings 👋 I really do care! Expressing myself genuinely aswell as putting in the effort to understand where the other person is coming from: that builds bridges, connects and leads to worthwhile discussions. Bad faith discussions do not, I think.

I heard a quote once, paraphrasing, that tries to convey:

Good etiquette means is trying to understand the other as well as one can. That stuck with me eversince. I try to understand where the other party is coming from as well as I can. Genuinely.

My experience with that is that you build bridges. My experience without that is each side is expressing opinions, that fall flat on each other’s ears more often.

Don’t be mistaken though! It does not mean to be a pushover, nor people pleaser. It means to gracefully, exercise a conscious effort, to understand - and I noticed my arguments could be way stronger even, as they are more precise. And more accepted by others.

Now you are talking about a specific point, dismissing a debate. Because someone else argues in bad faith. Am I correct in the assumption that people told you they don’t want to discuss any further as they feel you’re coming out of a position of bad faith?

If I suspect or feel the other person is arguing in bad faith, so not being interested in finding a genuine communication channel, then it’s just that: voicing an opinion, discussing only to be able to repeat that opinion. monologue disguised as dialog. Not much value.

And it’s okay to express an opinion, it’s even sometimes okay to not wanting to discuss it - but others can sense that too and don’t want their time wasted.

So let’s discuss genuinely ☀️

@[email protected] komme da aus der selben Richtung wie du. Wenn man es schafft über gewisse “Prechtigkeiten” hinweg zu sehen, tatsächlich ein paar interessante Überlegungen.

Danke fürs teilen ☀️

actually I changed my mind, think its not what I was looking for
