Doesn’t work once, never using it again. If I can’t trust it to work as expected I’ll never use it to make purchases.

For Siri I just use it to set alarms. It’s incredible how much money has been wasted on “digital assistants”.

Ecstatify··on OneDrive Ad in Windows 11 Logout Menu
We’ll see with apple. Hopefully they won’t be as obnoxious as Microsoft. Windows is getting so bloated with adverts, teams integrations. Most of the OEMs hardware is junk with a load of spyware installed for good measure. Linux may be the last bastion of the free world.

Bought my first Mac this year, sick of Microsoft injecting adverts everywhere. Integrating teams into everything, have the learnt nothing from Skype.

I meant the concept of buying a social media company to gain access to a network/captive audience. I was not talking about a specific company.

If I was talking about a specific company I would have said "Why don't they buy a considerable stake in {insert social media company}"

So you're arguing that lots of people use Mastodon?

Even on Hacker News no one is talking about it

Twitter: 371583 results

Ecstatify··on EU Voice
I don't understand this link with Twitter, maybe because it's in the news now. I never mentioned any specific company. The previous poster wanted to go on some Elon rant/tangent. My point was to invest in a platform that people actually use. If I'm the EU I want to have a platform where I can spread my message to as many people as possible. The EU is already spending huge amounts of money advertising on these platforms. Why not purchase a seat at the table.
Ecstatify··on EU Voice
I never mentioned Elon or the implications of buying twitter, you went off on that tangent.

> You are implying that is pointless me to have a person website because I will not succeed to be more popular the FB or Twitter. The joke is on you I have a personal website and I run a blog and some static pages. EU is not attempting to defeat Twitter

Again never said that.

Backup communication methods don't work if no ones uses them do they?

> 1 Twitter or FB because they might block you and your then need to fight with AI bots to unblock your stuff

Normally when you have a controlling stake in a company you can have an input in how it operates.

> 2 there might be users that do not use Twitter or FB

There's also people who don't use the internet? what's your point?

>3 Twitter and FB might not respect user privacy so it is imporal to publish only on those

EU agencies already post on Facebook and Twitter, what's your point ?

The Norwegian pension fund already owns roughly 1% of many of the large tech giants, not sure what percentage would cause the US to start freaking out, especially as the EU is a close ally.

Meta Platforms Inc 1.01%

Twitter 0.89%

Alphabet Inc 0.85%

Apple Inc 0.84%

Amazon.com Inc 0.81%

Disingenuous, huh? previous poster interpreted "buy a considerable stake in these American social media companies" as give Elon Musk money.
Ecstatify··on EU Voice
It's not about the cost of the service, it's that it's a pointless endeavour it's never going to succeed. Every social media company succeeds or fails based on the network effect.

Where did I mention Elon?

Ecstatify··on EU Voice
I don't understand why the EU bothers wasting money on these initiatives.

No one uses these platforms.

Why don't they buy a considerable stake in these American social media companies instead of trying to reinvent the wheel that is deflating as soon as it launches.

https://tube.network.europa.eu URL looks like a scam website.

There is no way tech illiterate people can use these websites.

Their first video that appears on the website "The future of data protection: Effective enforcement in the digital world - full video" is 1 week old and has 27 views.

Ecstatify··on Google is shutting down Stadia
35 Mbps or greater for 4K.

Internet performance in Europe has improved dramatically over the past year and a half. Average fixed line download speeds have increased by more than half (+51.9 percent), from 68 Megabits per second (Mbps) in March 2020 to 103.3 Mbps in June 2021.

Ecstatify··on Google is shutting down Stadia
The whole point was to diversify their business model. The tech behind Stadia is very impressive, I could play Cyberpunk 2077 on my TV/Mobile/iPAD/Mac with no lag in 4K. Stadia integrated into YouTube could have been a Twitch competitor. With Covid it could have been the perfect time to really launch the product when no one could buy a PS5/XBOX. Google didn't invest in games, closed down their own game studio. It's reminiscent of Windows Phone having no apps.
