    It’s the same thing. You asked knowing the answer already.

      What are the odds? I don’t know them.

      I would advocate for a boycott and helping people migrate off Google.

      If you’re on Android, consider:

      https://grapheneos.org/

      or

      https://e.foundation/e-os/

      If you’re using Google’s services, consider trying to run some of your own:

      Syncthing Nextcloud Comaps

      If you’re using their AI, consider trying out local models using something like Unsloth or llama.cpp

      If we can’t get our elected representatives to help us, gotta help ourselves.

        “Odds any of that will happen?” is just another way of saying “it will never happen”. You know what you meant and now you’re trying to weasel out of it. Own your statement.

          I am not. I offered some ways I think individuals could act and have an impact.

          I don’t live in the jurisdiction this will be tried. I know where I think the odds lie in the US.

          You sure seem hell-bent on making someone who agrees with you feel bad. 🤷‍♂️

            That’s like 10% of Lemmy responses in a nutshell. If we’re only talking political topics, 50%.

          I don’t think you know what they meant. Why is it so damned common to assume that people are lying about something for no reason? Like if someone says they didn’t mean something, usually they probably didn’t. It might sound a certain way to you, but it’s a shit trait of Lemmy how often people will tell you “no you fucking meant something else and I know it for a fact” when they don’t at all.
