@cyberlyra promoting autonomy and privacy while rent seeking 10 euro a month for the service is sadly prone to failure or at best be a niche product as it will almost surely be enshitified sometime down the road.

@waps I’ve used their systems for 10 years and have yet to see any signs of enshittification.

@waps also they are seeking alternative models of sustainability that do not rely on personal data ingestion for the purpose of appeasing their true customers or approval of a board saturated with an investor class, whose alternative relationships largely undergird the drive to enshittification.

I recognize they are not entirely open source or free which frustrates some audiences. But i am for pluralistic solutions to these problems and demonstrations that there are other possible paths.

@cyberlyra I agree with your observations. My comment was in the general context of an AI only startup I thought Jolla was before even reading up on them. There's still a small chance it goes on a wrong path in the long run but I do not see that happening without a major shift in upper management behavior.

@cyberlyra Sorry, for me is a no-go. There is no frickin way that I will going to pay a ~60€ per year for any form of supporting an ai bullshit!

I can pay, yes.. for the os, for some decent made, not hardware outdated one device, but not in my life for such piece of crap as ai.

Abd to be clear, I am using SailfishOS since its very beginning, fully already paid for the license etc.
