This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google’s Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK’s encryption bill, etc.
So what do you think of the future? I’m currently optimistic. I think the best recent event was Reddit fucking up. Obviously one of the biggest information sources going down that path isn’t something to celebrate. But it was bound to happen. I believe decentralized social networks becoming more popular is what Aaron Swartz would have wanted if he saw how Reddit was being managed.
For example, getting a ride through Lyft is now impossible without GPS, their app won’t start. Knly option is Uber through a website.
You also don’t get notifications for some apps because of that. So I had to make some sacrifices to not have GPS installed
There are also normal taxis. I never had to use uber in my life.
Might be better to just use taxis if their price is reasonable
