How does blocking Linux benefit them?

[supernova1051@sh.itjust.works]

deals with Microsoft or any other competitor who may want to silence alternatives.

[linuxenjoyer@lemmy.world]

do a bad thing

get caught

oops, it was just an error

repeat

[vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de]

funny how they never make errors in favour of anyone else but themselves

[acefuzzlord@lemm.ee]

This was the exact same line of thinking I went down.

Don't forget about all the searches for #Democrats and the like mysteriously returning zero results.

I mean it makes sense. Both M$ and Apple (and Google with vanilla Android) are quite surveillance-centric, it only makes sense to try to keep the population under a watchful eye to stay ahead of any potential challenges to their authority. They hate the thought of people doing anything digitally that they can't keep tabs on.

If not wanting to format my machine every year to keep it from bogging down makes me a terrorist, well, shit.

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

They fired all their moderators and put AI in charge.

[uranium_green@sh.itjust.works]

This should really be the canary in the coal mine for just how bad things are going to get.

Probably time to start spinning up some shit like that, actually. Keep an eye on a broad index of salient search terms / hashtags, watch for dropouts.
