It made fun of Trek fandom but the fans agreed and laughed along.
- Comment on Bluesky teases paid subscription, Bluesky+, in new mockup 1 week ago:
The problem is that in the process of monetizing something, the tendency is to handicap the service that made you popular to begin with by either moving some features into the paid tier or degrading the service in order to steer users into a paid tier. If demand existed for a brand new, guaranteed to never enshittify, Twitter clone that costs $10/month, then we would have one.
The fact is that social networks have to give away access to their systems because the real product is community and engagement, and you cannot have that without significant user volume. Once the users have freely given the company the product, then the company can start monetizing their means of transport, and the only way they can do that is by paywalling quality of life features. Thus, enshittification begins.

Then you do not know what enshittification is.

Will I ever play these games again (I played them a lot when new)? Probably not. Did I buy the bundle in order to support GOG? Yes. Yes I did.
- Comment on human anteaters 4 weeks ago:
I have it. My mom used to crush ants she saw in the kitchen before she realized that the stink I was complaining about was the stench of compressed ant corpses. Don’t get me started on these stinky fucks:
- Comment on Kenyan workers with AI jobs thought they had tickets to the future until the grim reality set in 5 weeks ago:
Wambalo and other digital workers spent eight hours a day in front of a screen studying photos and videos, drawing boxes around objects and labeling them, teaching AI algorithms to recognize them.
Human labelers tag cars and pedestrians to teach autonomous vehicles not to hit them.
Imagine doing CAPTCHA for eight hours a day.

- Comment on In general, people on Lemmy don't want high effort or high quality posts that take longer than 30 seconds to digest. 1 month ago:
I decided to check out your posts on high quality gifs and they all seem to have the same problem. They are very difficult to follow. There are a number of reasons for this but more often than not, it is a combination of some or all of the problems.
- The font is way too small for mobile users
- Too verbose. No way I can read all that before transition.
- Transitions are too quick.
- Lack of font outline makes it hard to read at times.
I am not providing an opinion on the quality of the posts, only on their accessibility.

- Comment on Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". 1 month ago:
I have a lot of entrepreneur and VC friends. One of them always says that it isn’t about the money. He says “Some people have fun playing video games, board games or Dungeons and Dragons. This is my Dungeons and Dragons”.
He says it a lot so shout out to whomever can guess who he is. Hint; he’s Austin based.
