I don’t mind smart products, though I’m not sure what problem is solved by a screen on a fridge. That said, I do hate it when these devices need to rely on the cloud to function, and Ads I can’t tolerate–I usually try to block the DNS address for things that like to spy on me or show me ads.
This sort of stuff damages the Samsung as a brand. It makes me unlikely to consider Samsung for other products like TVs.
I’ll add it to my linked in profile to warn potential coworkers.
I think that’s a pretty good response. More details will probably emerge in the next few days that could change my mind, but for now that gives me a bit of confidence in their platform.
In comparison, a few years ago I was a patient at an IVF clinic in Sydney. I saw some absolutely bonkers security and repeatedly raised it with them. They wouldn’t hear it, and almost expectedly they were hacked and now my sperm count is public information. Their response was delayed and appalling. If my medical records were treated a severely as a streaming platform, I would have been happy.
I get the frustration, but I don’t think its fair to direct it at tourists. I don’t believe for a second that the protestors aren’t at times tourists themselves, and it’s hard to see what directing abuse at random tourists visiting for a week, with no emotional investment or control of Spain’s rental system, could possibly achieve.
Airbnb has been allowed to run unregulated in pretty much every market. Naturally this hurts areas where tourism is a major industry more than others–so again, I get the frustration. But geez, channel that back to people who can actually fix it rather than yelling at foreigners.
EDIT: Sorry I should add, I’m referring to not just this piece of graffiti, but also the similar posts that seem to appear on lemmy every few days.
I got banned from a subreddit because the mod had this "not with us, you are against us"argument. It was years ago, but IIRC I was posting against a comment calling for assaulting men to balance out the abuse of women.
To be honest, I think I may have seen more banning on Lemmy though. I’ve noticed a few cases where the admins have banned people with objectionable opinions. In all fairness, these were the type people you would avoid at parties, but it does give me pause. In reddit if you get banned from a particular subreddit you still keep your identity and participate in other subreddits. In Lemmy, you are at the mercy of your server, and if a large server bans you, it would essentially remove you from all of their communities that otherwise might accept you. I worry that this is creating an echo chamber.
