Sure, but knowing how fucked something is and actually speaking out about it are two very different things.

Capitalism didn’t used to be like this because it was still developing, but it was always going to become this. Enshitification is not a bug, it’s a feature. Capitalism is supposed to work like this. And when it wasn’t, it was just because it wasn’t there yet, mainly due to technical limitations.

So it was 30 years ago. I feel like, even though things are far from perfect now, nowadays a comment like this would draw quite a few more critical looks than back then.

There are still people with a communal family PC? I thought that was a 2000s thing.

Meant bitter, not sour. There is no way anybody likes that taste.
But even if you do, for me it wasn’t ‘this is so disgusting I’m not gonna bite anymore’ but more my brain snapping out of unconsciously biting as soon as I realized the taste and then you get a brief moment to consciously stop.

Dermatophagia is a bitch.
Get some of that nail polish that prevents you from biting your nails and tastes really sour and put it on your skin instead of your nails. It won’t stop you from biting necessarily but it will stop you from unconsciously biting.
- Comment on In the most delicious irony imaginable, the notorious early 2000s 'You wouldn't steal a car' anti-piracy campaign may have used an 'illegal' font 3 weeks ago:
Sligthly off topic but I think this actually may be some kind of Mandela effect, because I think a large number of people actually think the commercial said ‘You wouldn’t download a car’ because of all the memes but it actually said ‘You wouldn’t steal a car’
- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 3 weeks ago:
I also work in 3D and I wanna say yes. If we’re talking solely about the technical aspect, real-time render today can definitely hold up to, or even surpass, the quality of renders from 30 years ago.
If it would look exactly the same and how much work it would be to recreate the entire movie in a real time engine is another question.

But you could definitely get something that looks as good (or better) as Toy Story using eevee.
- Comment on Digital media – a threat to democracy? The evidence is piling up. 5 weeks ago:
In Europe we have public news broadcasters in every country, so relying on corporate news isn’t a huge problem.
Anyway, a news outlet pushing propaganda and misinformation is not nearly as dangerous as a social media platform doing it via algorithm. The fact that the algorithm can give you exactly the kind of propaganda that will resonate with you is extremely dangerous.
Not saying privately owned news outlets with a huge reach aren’t a problem, they definetely are, it’s just a whole other dimension.

Corellation is not causation but in this case it is very suspicious and studies like these show that there might be causation That’s why I said it’s not proof but needs to be studied further.
And yes, of course I mean centralized, profit driven social media. But that is the overwhelming majority of social media.

Well put, this is exactly the problem. I remember the early days of facebook, twitter and instagram when there were no algorithms and your feed was just posts by people you follow in chronological order. Discourse was much more tame back then. We urgently need stricter laws that regulate these algorithms.

I’m glad this is finally being looked at because I’ve been saying this for years and I feel like the vast majority doesn’t realize how bad this is.
If you look at social media use and the rise of the far right over the last 15 years, they pretty much go hand in hand. Sure, that isn’t proof for anything, but it’s alarming and needs to be studied further.
In Germany, we have safeguards that prevent a single media outlet to gain too much power over controlling the public opinion. We have this for TV stations, news papers etc. Just not social media. Because social media wasn’t even on the horizon when this law was put in place.
I think it’s insane that we just let foreign profit driven companies steer the public opinion and discourse in our society and we finally have to start to heavily regulate them.

Youtube without unhooked, UBlock Origin and sponsor block is pure torture. Can’t live without them anymore. Luckily there is revanced on mobile as well, which basically rolls all of them into one app.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 1 month ago:
The key card thing is seriously infuriating, both from a consumer standpoint and from an archivists standpoint.
Basically you own a game cartridge, but as soon as Nintendo shuts down their servers for whatever reason it becomes a useless piece of plastic. They really don’t want us to own anything anymore.

I don’t get it either. Is OP saying that christians can’t show their bare ass online? Because I don’t support that.

This is still one of the absolute best games ever made. No other game feels so alive. It’s almost scary how easily you can get lost in it.
