proprietary services be like (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 11 months ago by lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de to c/memes@lemmy.ml

was looking for a GUI video editor on Android, and couldn't find an open source one, so downloaded a proprietary apk(powerdirector).
was greeted with this as soon as I installed an opened it.

deleted it that very instant. will stick to ffmpeg on termux.

image below is from david revoy's mastodon post.


image transcription:
meme has two images. upper one is a cropped screenshot from an app that reads, "to protect your rights to privacy, please accept the privacy policy and terms of use to continue."

lower one is an image of pepper from pepper&carrot with one of her hand in air, eyes lit up and mouth agape. superimposed on very bottom is a text that reads, "Hmm, what a logic."

reminds me of you'll own nothing and be happy.

it's them who own everything. they'll change something one day(common example being prices and how they abuse your data) and you'll be asked to either continue or leave.
