  It might be some kind of bias playing tricks on me, but it really gives me the impression that since those corporations started embracing ai and claiming that they use high percentages of it in their work, some trend of things stopping working has been on the rise. I swear those services from big companies used to be considered so highly available and stable, that people would be incredulous if they stopped.

  Making people buy stuff is one form of manipulation as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The lyrics to "if you're happy and you know it" imply you can be happy and not know it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If people were happy and content, it would be much harder to manipulate them in many senses of it, so making people feel bad about them is part of the chushing machine design

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile, small family-owned businesses struggle so hard financially, but make miracles to stay afloat for decades, taking the most viable long-term decisions, despite the lack of options and resource. And these people often have no formal education in the area, just the survival instinct and the pressure of a family to feed.

  There’s the ai that works well, has many useful applications and reasonable hardware requirements, and there’s the generative ai fucking everything and not giving us a proportional return in usefulness

  Ublock really seems to be much more powerful than we think. I feel like it alone could replace almost every extension we have. Wish there were some friendly guides for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we need more users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The addiction thing is so true. Bug tech invest a lot into making their user experience as addictive as possible. The mainstream social networks are highly optimized attention catchers create for making people spend as much time as possible in them, and the fediverse can’t provide with that addiction, so the more people are addicted to social media, the worse their experience around here will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we need more users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been noticing a drop in post/comments diversity and quantity. The diminishing users is something noticeable and sad.

  We’re in times where we need to seek alternatives to big tech more than ever, and yet, people don’t seem to care :(
