How your online world could change if big tech companies like Google are forced to break up. : technology

I degoogled in 2018. Not much would change for me.

I followed you in 2019 and did the same thing. So it would not affect me very much either.

I followed in 2021. What remains is that I use YouTube quite a lot (even though it's through piped or yt-dlp).

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Same here with newpipe

RSS subscribing directly to YT channels through a self-hosted RSS aggregator to sync views, open in on-device front-end. Very practical.

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is exactly what I do. I subscribe to the YouTube channels via RSS in my local RSS reader and have it set to display notifications so that I still see video updates and then use newpipe to open them.

Only thing I use Google for is Maps, and by now that would be easy to replace.

You receive a message notification on WhatsApp, which was sent by your friend using her Signal messaging app

yeah Signal has already said they don't have plans to do that.

Did you read the article? It's talking primarily about how this could be really good for consumers.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -5 points 2 weeks ago

clearly not!

Good to see media having a back bone... i guess google i did not pay them 20k for this one then.

[-] Zadhu@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Did you read it? It definitely has the tone of supporting the break up...

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not sure. To be edgy?

The year is 2030, and you are on your way to meet a friend for a meal.

I don't eat out

You receive a message notification on WhatsApp

I don't use any of ~~DARPA Lifelog~~ ~~Facebook~~ Meta disservices.

which was sent by your friend using her Signal messaging app

I don't have friends. And DEFINITELY not girls. (I use Arch btw)

You choose an app because you like the way it looks

I think I just vomited a little bit in my mouth

You look at reviews produced by people you follow

I don't "follow" people and never will.
