What?? The last bullet point is literally the subject of the thread you’re on. The picture in this post is from Musk campaigning for the AfD which is a far-right German party that is well-known for being antisemitic. I can’t tell if you’re utterly clueless or trolling right now.
Which half? And please provide some examples.
As someone else pointed out, the premise of this question is extremely faulty. Being user-friendly is one of the main advantages of proprietary software because they have teams of researchers and designers making sure that things are as frictionless as possible for the user. This isn’t to say they don’t use dark-patterns or engage in anti-consumer practices, but I’m certain that if you did a random sampling of F-Droid and the Play Store, you would find a lot more polished and user-friendly software on the Play Store than the FOSS apps on F-Droid
If I ‘accidentally’ did a Nazi salute, as a non-Nazi I would spend the next week:
If I did the opposite of all these things it would be because I want everyone to know it was no accident. Anyone still saying ‘who knows what he means by any of it’ after this week is either a lying POS, bought and paid for, or just thick as a cement brick
It’s really not about revenge. It’s about taking back power from corporations and giving it to the people. Right now, political power is with the highest bidder and these companies know it.
They are using the money from advertising to lobby and buy politicians, which is what stops us from having sensible regulations for social media. Taking away that revenue stream inhibits their ability to do this, so it’s a win for the people
Except many advertisers don’t want to be associated with damaging things. So this has an impact on advertising revenue for social media companies and they would absolutely view this as a blow to their public image.
We need to break them up, and legislate against their practices for the future but this is something that can happen right away and hit them in their pockets
So OP edited his post to be about being ‘user-centric’ and not ‘user friendly.’ There’s a huge difference between being easy to use, even for the technologically illiterate, and being good for users so I wouldn’t disagree with a lot of what’s been said in this thread
