None. As long as it’s “commercially available”, their interest is no longer aligned with yours.
Also, unless you are running your own Lemmy instance, I question your assumptions that using Lemmy is actually an upgrade to privacy and data ownership. I heard this point a lot and I don’t see the basis for this. Can you explain?
But that’s all marketing, it’s not specific to AI.
Any company that does marketing is looking to create demand and generate interest. Part of generating interest is tapping into your desire , which could include want to get ahead and not getting left behind.
What the heck is AI Panic?
btw you missed Meta, they are very significant in the field of AI.
If by “Reddit” you mean internet discussion forums, I guess? It’s a super simplistic way to look at things.
Tildes, for example, is pretty clear that they are not and do not want to become another “Reddit”.
It’s not just for Samsung phones, it works perfectly on my Pixel and Razer Phone as well. The Adblocking is okay but the design + the dark mode for all websites is the killer feature for me.

IMO Samsung Internet is one of the best Android browsers out there. Give it a try!
OP’s observation is pretty on point, I would say.
Return of Obra Dinn. Low power but high aesthetics. One of the most unique gaming experiences I’ve ever had and quite perfect for the Deck.
You guys play games on the Deck?
Vigorously checks DeckyLoader updates
Yes, but it’s a feature, not a bug.
It’s a super low investment and quick way to identify people you should avoid.
Death Stranding.
I’ve actually had this game kicking around for a while, never gotten into it until I got a Steam Deck this year and have not been able to put it down since.
The game really resonated with me, especially after having been through the pandemic and surviving the same isolation and longing for connection that fundamentally underpins plot of the game. The characters are amazing (great cast - Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen are just stellar in their roles), the world is vast, cinematic and often scary, and the gameplay mechanics are so deep that I’m still learning new things after 50+ hours into the game. So much to unpack. There is also a fair bit of weirdness, humor and cheese mixed in that is signature Kojima, that cracks me up once in a while.
It is truly an unique game and one of a kind experience. Nothing really like it.
I would ask a different question - is Mr. Beast a good role model for the kids or not? Whether he’s a “good person” or not is largely irrelevant, the fact is he is doing good.
Personally I’m a big fan of his philathropy, but I don’t think he makes for a good role model. He’s found a way to influence and doing good for the world, but I don’t think it’s easily replicable nor should kids try to emulate him - because to be Mr. Beast, you need to be in the influencer / clout-chasing game, which can have roads that lead to success but at the end of the day, it’s an endless game of trying to get eyeballs and capture attention.
I would encourage the kids to forge their own path and not necessarily emulate Beast, but try to make the types of impact he makes in the world.
Death Stranding. Still keeping on keeping on!
Which is kind of my point. Even on Lemmy the “data ownership” isn’t really up to the individual users, it’s the instance owners. The only way to 100% control where your data goes (as an user) and who looks at it, is if you run your own instance. Otherwise you are still at the mercy of another master, hopefully a more benevolent one.
And if the instance that most new users default to is lemmy.world and that instance is 100K users strong, I think the “smaller instance” argument doesn’t really apply there for most users.
