I think he was hoping for something better than Amazon, as opposed to worse.

But the fediverse solves that with federation, right? Connectivity and choosing where your connections are is the whole point.

Or is that short sighted? Seriously asking.

I understand how he turned fat, but how did he turn asian?

I for one am a fan of everybody doing UI Fediverse improvements. It is very literally paving the future of the internet, because the future of the internet is not corporate bullshit. The Fediverse needs to be as slick as possible, and more people working on that is sorely, sorely needed!

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen…well I was gonna say all day, but I just read about florida sex ed not teaching sex ed and there are levels.

“Don’t you dare do anything I say”

Yeah I think it’s Syncthing-Fork now?

Make fines for companies breaking the law to make money a percentage of the profit generated from it, with a base percentage of 125%.

The patterns of behavior between shareholders, boards of directors, and executives is what’s killing people. The same role can be re-cast with different actors.

It’s not that CEOs need to die, it’s that that larger pattern of behavior that gets rich by killing people needs to end. Maybe this spooks other people who are part of that larger pattern into stopping, maybe it makes them do it more, stealthier, and with bodyguards. It’s hard to say.

At the very least, we should all jump at every chance to help things without hurting anybody, wherever we do find it. “Necessary violence” comes with a big ol heap of plausible deniability, and it’s a pretty big ask for somebody to handle it responsibly.

The justification will be alluring even in circumstances where it is not legitimate.

He’s afraid that if he doesn’t slide us into unlikeability gradually, the shock could kill us.

4D chess?

That’s what enshittification is. Make something good, draw people in, they make your service a part of their lives, and then you fuck them in the ass.

The best situation is giving money to a company that’s not shitty. The second best situation is piracy. The third best situation is letting yourself get fucked over. It’s really up to the companies whether or not we have the best situation. It’s up to all of us to have the basic dignity to not get screwed over by the worst option, and to choose the second one when they try.

David Attenborough voice:

here we se the good guy, simply defending his homeland

I know all the not-stupids already know it but it bears repeating:

When we say Israel is a shitty genocide committer, we mean the Israeli government–Netanyahu and all his cunty supporters. Not all the normal people who live there who hate the shit as much as anyone else.

Aloud.

Ummm this entire comment should have been asterisks.

It was a golden age for about 15 years. It’ll suck for awhile, then something else will revolutionize it again and be good for another 15, if old patterns hold.

Someone’s unwillingness to implement an effective solution doesn’t make an ineffective solution the answer.

The way forward on this is hounding them until they implement it, not fighting the math:

Third parties are mathematically impossible until we ditch first past the post voting:

We need our vote to be a list, not a checkbox.

I always figured the stories about Japan, Norway, New Zealand, Germany etc being liberal paradises were simplistic and overblown, but it’s still surprising to see such a backwards position here.

The time traveler is trying to save lives, and compared to covid 9/11 isn’t even a blip on the radar.
