It affects all of us. Every step along the enshittification path happened because people let it, and it makes things worse for the few of us who resisted also.

And to be fair, I was wantonly shoving a whole bunch of people, and lots of them didn’t die. The ones who did had some preexisting vulnerability, so not my fault.

It’s just a jpeg artifact.

What do you mean the vent is loud? Is the dryer so far from an exterior wall that there is some kind of fan apparatus to push the air there instead of a simple duct?

Obviously an AI will need to be monitoring your screen at all times.

This and people tend to respond to cognitive dissonance by rationalizing / repressing awareness. I’ve voted for less bad candidate, now I’ll convince myself that was actually a good thing.

I’m not sure “human” is a category that matters to trump. There’s just him and everyone else.

Well enjoy all the enshittification. That to be free of that doesn’t seem worth a few small problems boggles my mind.

I don’t know if this is true but I’ve heard yellow jackets get intoxicated on fermenting fruit and become mean drunks.

It’s really because bees are fuzzy and able to be seen in a cute light whereas wasps are more metal and scary looking.

Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.

It looks to me that earth and Mars switched places, Venus shrank and Mercury is lost in fur. And we seem to have an extra copy of Neptune

If you don’t because you think you have nothing worth stealing, consider that some joker can open your bag and set your combination to something else.

Just to give one data point, I bought a refurbished pixel 7 pro in 2023 and it is still going strong.

Is there any way for a community to disallow post deletion? If not, this seems like a needed feature.

Well honestly calling for using pensions and retirement savings to finance AI build out is pretty obscene.

I’ve had no luck getting the map to work on Ironfox on Graphene or Librewolf on Linux. It did load on Vanadium, despite saying “map source didn’t initialize properly”. Does it generally not work on Firefox based browsers?

I’m not in any way religious, and it does irritate me when people say, of some senseless tragedy, “everything has a purpose.”

But I do see, in your specific example, that what they say has metaphorical value. You should be grateful that you had it in you to accomplish what you did, even if you don’t attribute it to some mythical being.

I often think the phase “there but for the grace of God, go I” because I don’t know a secular equivalent. Think of God as a metaphor for the universe.

The old, human internet did not work by passively getting interesting content shoveled at you. It worked by active discovery. You followed links from human content that interested you to other content you thought might also be interesting. If you had a feed, it had content you had subscribed to. You did a web search on something that interested you and the results were not all garbage (I would argue most of what a web search produces these data is essentially spam).

Your notion to accept spam is because the enshittified internet has perverted your expectations to expect to find interesting things by passively having them shoveled at you, whether by social media feed or email.
