@dangillmor dont touch my apks google

@dangillmor The simple warning that power corrupts has a polarised version with absolute power. But it fails to describe this incremental obsessive steering towards the latter.

Something that happens so often that we need to rethink how power/responsibility is handled. Across the planet.

Our genetics often still operate with small, egalitarian community notions.

@dangillmor This is so clear, as they haven't a product that in itself isn't producing value by *addiction*. Apple instead created more dependency on exclusive hardware (with returns from services, even extortively), Meta with online services (returns from ads, payed manipulation), Amazon with old goods capitalism, etc.
All of them, when they start loosing the initial grip, have to change, to another form of abuse, as any predator. They're all just slimy human garbage, with nice words.

I blinked and missed when they had principles. Before Eric Schmitt?

@dangillmor
I have and Android phone. I have shut down all Google stuff. Now every time I start the phone I get ten or more messages insisting I enable playstore as my apps like the met will not work. Everything works well by the way.
