Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11 in c/technology@lemmy.world

Because Windows 11's primary new feature is SOC level DRM.

Can you please what this means in idiot proof terms?

It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

Will it ever get to a point where data is so over-harvested that it starts to lose value? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm speaking of online data harvested through apps, websites, hardware (such as phones/streaming devices).

I mean if multiple versions of the same harvested data are being sold, wouldn't the value decrease because of the competition? When it comes to aggregate data, how much financial value can there really be in knowing that a million office workers just clicked on the same cat meme?

How does the quantity of time and expense toward "personalization" not simply overshadow the return, given that no one can click on even a small percentage of those numerous ads, let alone buy the shit being advertised?

It just seems like there would come a time when the value of user data is sucked dry, or at least significantly decreased.

There's nothing wrong with not understanding; different generations, different life experiences can lead to different knowledge. There is strength in acknowledging something doesn't make sense, and casmael@lemm.ee should be proud of that strength and for wanting to learn.

You, on the other hand, should be ashamed of yourself for being critical. If it bothers you so much, stop reading the comments and just look at the pictures.

When it comes to "free" services/products, where do you draw the line on how your personal data/activity is used/monetized? (sh.itjust.works)

Edited to clarify.

Things to consider: How much of your data would you be comfortable letting Lemmy sell vs Reddit? If Zuck treated users better, would you be more accepting of Meta monetizing your data every way possible? When it comes to using something for free (tangible or intangible) do you accept a company selling your personal information if their practices align with what you feel is fair?

"we are just looking out for ourselves in a 'better safe than sorry' fashion while we find out more."

This is an unfortunate aspect of individuals/small groups housing the fediverse vs big companies. Big companies have lawyers and the capital to back them, individuals do not.

If I was in your shoes, I'd do the same thing. I appreciate your wish for thus to be temporary. I hope you will share your findings once you come to a final decision; information like this is relevant to all those managing servers.
