..I'm still the product?

Yes. You always will be with any corporate streaming service.

Unlike the writing of Asimov, this is not a work of fiction. Do some digging for yourself and you'll see that World Economic Forum has plans for you and I. Many have indeed been introduced. Many governments are following the agenda and have been for decades. Your answer is why I'm pessimistic and know we're fucked. Klaus Schwab wants to be your feudal overlord. He knows what's best for you. It sounds like you're ready to trust him.

If all the ignorant masses don't wake up to this WEF fuckery and it becomes "normalized" to need this for everything, then you'll need it to receive your basic universal payment in centralized digital currency. You'll also need it to incorporate your global "green score" which is like a type of social credit. Once cash is gone and decentralized crypto is illegal to own, most people will comply so they don't starve. A 100% identifiable human 100% tracked and controlled. Fail to comply to something and your identity gets switched off. Nothing works for you now. This is not fiction. Just pay attention to the agenda of WEF. And if you think this can't or won't happen then please explain how the fuck Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn still exist? Every person who is faced with this request for government issued ID for anything that isn't government should refuse and leave. Trusting these incompetent and abusive corporations with even more private information is illogical. They can't keep anything safe now. Giving them more won't "save you from the hackers". That is a disingenuous deception to double down on control. They care nothing for your privacy, safety or well being. "We had a data breach and your personal information has been compromised. It includes your name, email, phone number, address and government issued ID with face scan. Oops, sorry".
Everyone needs to say "NO" to this now!

I love the full overview as well. On every Pop installation I restore it to super key only. The Launcher then goes to it's original keys of super + /. You end up with the full activity view with the exception of the Gnome search bar. And we're talking about the COSMIC extension on Gnome right now, but the COSMIC desktop environment will be much more configurable from what I've been led to believe.

I'm interested in knowing what OP thinks is not garbage now.

I get that, but like the things I mentioned, most porn/comics/TV is boring, predictable, generic crap and a waste of time and brain cells. So, I don't understand why most porn/comics/TV is popular either. Absolute garbage! I can think of a thousand things I'd rather be doing than sifting through all that generic crap.

I've never wanted to "rice" my Pop!_OS, but I think I've been disappointed that Gnome couldn't add some simple changes like the following from COSMIC without installing third party software.

Beyond changing from Dark to Light mode and choosing an accent color you can change the application background, interface text palette tint and neutral palette tint. You’ll also be able to choose one of the three styles for the corner radii used throughout the interface and set an interface density.

Finally! Notifications can happen where you want, and they're not connected to the calendar. This is a massive win for me. Gnome's is really annoying being top center and dropping down into your work. I've always turned off 95% of notifications. If I can have them bottom left or right I will love that.

The notifications applet has been integrated into COSMIC DE! Unlike in Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, notifications exist in their own applet, separate from your calendar.

In the browser? Has that been introduced?

Not everything needs and app

But then they couldn't scrape maximum personal data, collect your contacts, have access to your mic and camera, and track your every physical movement. Your so selfish!

YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.

And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don't understand its popularity.

A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc..

Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.

A boobs/celeb/shoes button

A religion button.

People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.

I'm not sure how to answer without getting roasted, but including GQ in canon does complete the Star Trek good-then-bad movie pattern.

The Orville is my favorite Star Trek franchise. It's canon - you can't deny it. The Orville revived the Star Trek Franchise and gave it a pulse. It's like blockchain. You can say it doesn't belong, but it will always be there and nothing can change that. It has great attention to detail and decent story writing with that original "there's a moral in this episode" that endeared ST in our hearts, something the newer ST franchises lack.
