@Whendel l meant to say a proper article with a title. Imagine a newspaper editorial or a short story ☺️☺️☺️

@roofuskit l wouldn’t have understood your statement. But someone just told me how exactly ads on GAFAM works😊😊

@brucethemoose Thanks for your reply. I’m not a user of any Meta product except whatsapp. True, all posts made on fediverse are easily shareable and accessible even to non-fediverse users. Fediverse has a very strong channel to reach out to any internet user.

Now I see why Meta ads are so effective. Meta takes it across to people and forces it upon them.

@brucethemoose not Meta. I’m not a competitor for Meta. I want people to be free of Meta.

@brucethemoose not advertising on a massive scale. Suppose l have a product or a service. Meta ad is such a system that you can create a nice information piece for yourself, which you can share with others. I want something similar. But devoid of Meta !!

In Meta, you need a facebook account. But here, the platform which facilitates such ads itself creates the account. And the ad can be shared via URL. In other words, people don’t need to approach any ad agency to create their own ad.

@brucethemoose l want my own ways, my own terms. And l would love people to develop things on their own.

@roofuskit well yes !! Ethics is the point where l differ with Meta.

@AbouBenAdhem @HerbalGamer l’d much rather be happier to do something like Meta, since it’s already got a huge number of consumers.

And some of these users might embrace open source later on. I’m positive !!!

@brucethemoose what is being made possible by Meta because it’s a corporate, can the same facilities be made possible through Open Source as a community ??? So that in future, lesser and lesser people have to depend on Meta as consumers ???

@Broadfern l appreciate that word… Confrontation ☺️☺️ !! My brother assumes me the same way, that l’m confronting him, although l’m simply putting forth an alternative.

That being said, my brother definitely has some positive contributions to society, which ought to reach out to more people. What are the likely processes we could apply in order to do this ??

@Broadfern that’s a very interesting perspective. Thank you this honest opinion ☺️☺️☺️

@HerbalGamer But Meta ads are good at promoting a product/idea. But I always prefer floss and open source.

@HerbalGamer why so ??

@bizarroland Regarding the computer that’s on sale, it’s in the US. As far as the other accessories you’ve mentioned, we’ve already got those.

@bizarroland l live in India. So, the prices are different. I’m looking for the best customisable open source options at optimal cost at the moment.

@bizarroland thanks for all your suggestions. Can you imagine a child who is just learning to identify colours ? Or maybe a child who is just learning how to grip a pencil and draw a circle ? My interaction with technology is just like that. I don’t need a huge investment plan at the moment. Rather than buying a second hand laptop, l prefer building up a desktop right from the scratch, based on low spec parts, and hitting the bottom line of blender and Godot.

Have l been able to express what l wish to convey ???

@bizarroland okay 👍, I’m going to install MX fluxbox. And how to get that vibe-coded art craft ??
