Only if there was a tech start-up gathering money for this revolutionary new product

So you mean it was the beginning of the end of the world?

I miss the good old days when people were worried because some long dead calendar maker, didn't bother to prepare the calendar a few hundred years in advance.

Basically law doesn't work anymore on the highest levels of Polish politics. If you steal a loaf of bread, the law still applies. But if you try to takeover the country it is a stale mate until two branches of the government align. Then it's either a crime or you are good to go (depending on the side that they would align on)

people doesn't really care all that much about giving information to big tech

I was one of those people some time ago. I remember doing it deliberately and saying "what will they do to me? Offer me a product that better suits my needs?"

I never had any issues because of that...

right now I decline each time, the more work it costs me, the more motivated I am to decline every single marketing consent.

I do it out of spite, because of all the enshitification happening to services I used to like, and I just try to make their life harder.

I really hope that Google will, some day, miss one cent needed for some huge multi billion deal thanks to my resistance! ;)

I didn't say it's a bad thing. If someone tried to pay attention to every little choice they make, they would be exhausted before the morning coffee.

What kind of browser I use is important to me, since I am a geek. But I don't pay attention to many things that more socially adept people would consider important.

Oh! I know! It's on a boat. Added so the bed won't move during the storm. Right?

Right?

It's laziness. Most people just take the path of the least resistance.

Once you show them the screen, any choice is the same amount of work so they will select what they really want. But without the screen, 90% of people will be good enough with the default option. Or, they might even be mildly uncomfortable with that option, but not enough to do something about it.

Nope, at least not until the next parliamentary elections. Until then, actions like this are just for show.

He has no chance to change the constitution without a 2/3 majority in parliament (and his side has no majority at all right now)

Ok, I opened the article, read a major part of it, not all of it, it's a little too long and too "esoteric" for me. I'm a simple guy.

I agree there is a problem, I try to find communication. I can't find much of it on Lemmy, where most "posts" are just links to articles, or reposts from reddit. I am missing small forums from the early days of the internet, where people knew each other... But I didn't find it here.

I am responding to this post, but I didn't even read OP's user name, so I might be a part of the problem.

The article mentions Gemini, which is an unfortunate name for something that is not developed by Google (even if it was called like that before Google Gemini, if you don't have a few billion dollars, you don't want to share the name with something owned by Google), I wanted to check it out but failed.

The linked article "there is no content on Gemini" didn't say what it is... It focused on what it isn't... Or if it did, I lost patience before that part...

So I totally agree regarding the problem, but if you are trying to sell a solution, then apparently I am unqualified to use it.
