Also, I don’t see locking data from search engines as a bad thing. The fediverse isn’t search engine searchable either
The fediverse not being searchable is one of the biggest flaws with it, and make it similarly ephemeral to Discord, except its actually worse because the sizes of communities are just in that goldilocks area of awfulness where there are echo chambers, and people are rude and toxic. Whatsmore, availability due to the small size is relatively mediocre.

However, it’s free and they have to support it somehow.
These arguments might just give me an aneurysm.
This has let so many horrible free to play games off the hook while they literally make billions in profits and have astounding profit margins.
Discord makes money.
In a non hyper greed infested world, they could simply coast at the level of wealth they are at now, still making free money for their investors, paying their workers, and improving the service, without making peoples lives shittier.
There is no reason to justify this shit.

Have you not seen the world? Everything, no matter how horrific, can always get infinitely worse.
The PIF could buy it and ban gay people. Israel could buy it and persecute people against genocide. A rich right wing billionaire could buy it and force even more nazi memes upon the youth.
There are infinite ways it can get worse. Infinite.

It also makes giving or getting any kind of support a hellish time sink, but that’s almost besides the point…
You know, this comment just made me realize this might actually be the point for some companies.
Its a cheap way to pretend that you care about customer service, while actually dissuading customers strongly from actually trying. Its also completely easy to bot vs having a human on a phone line.

A great problem of our society is there being too many problems to have any group of people focus on enough to get any of them solved.
If every issue has just 2% of people caring about it, companies can easily just write those 2% off and do business as usual.
This is why to not have an enshitifed world it has to be top down, and people have to participate in politics logically as opposed to based on which groups of people they hate.
The basic maths of it just doesn’t work for any sort of bottom up action.
It would have to be a relative time of quiet and one company sticking out like a sore thumb for long enough for them to be damaged.
You have seen how rapidly things are getting worse.
There is not going to be that happening, and even if there were, it wouldn’t be enough as there are thousands more issues.

Of course, it would be better if they didn’t, but can you really blame them when the system is stacked against us?
Yes, specifically when they use even a tiny bit of that little free time to beat down others who actually try, or when they don’t pay attention to the only ways they could possibly lessen the awful situation.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 1 week ago:
You personalized this beyond all reason. There was no malicious reading just someone trying to understand what you where trying to say.
Oh right, thats where the “You are worried someone is going to take this comment personally, get hurt, and then run to their corporate overlords” comes from. From you not being malicious at all.
Apparently, I was dead on
You are obviously a troll at this point. Obviously being completely wrong in every conceivable way confirms you were actually right…
Calling someone a bootlicker for telling people that solidarity is better than inner class fighting is so absurd you being a troll is the only logical conclusion.
- Comment on Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan 1 week ago:
In our world of people dismissing any issue that isn’t their own, nothing matters, and only the worst people win.
If people didn’t leave before this, this or that group getting pissed off won’t be the death of it then either.
We don’t need everyone to care about anything, but the current paradigm of not only apathy, but actively fighting against other peoples causes because they aren’t your own has really doomed us.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 1 week ago:
What in the literal fuck are you on about. You are worried someone is going to take this comment personally, get hurt, and then run to their corporate overlo
No. What the fuck are you on about.
Your malicious read of my pretty clear comment is so obviously absurd its like Im talking to a rage bait ai bot…
Their comment placed blame on people for simply existing in a world that is increasingly enshitified by subscriptions and my comment clearly was aimed at reaiming that blame at who deserves it rather than fighting people in the same class as you.
I think you are taking this in perhaps the most bizarre way possible.
Says the person doing mental gymnastics to read the comment in a nonsensical way so they can be toxic about it.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 2 weeks ago:
They can’t even use the usual enshittification excuses, this is just being greedy dicks.
The usual enshitification excuses are companies just being greedy dicks, and more than anything, a lack of regulation enforcement existing to stop companies simply outspending other companies out of business.

- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 2 weeks ago:
This is ultimately just punching sideways and down though.
These companies will win when your strategy is to simply shit on other people for existing.
You may not think that is what you’re doing but it is. How so? Because while you care about this area of life enough to get into the details, for other people, their areas of care are completely different, and it is unreasonable for you to expect everyone to care about precisely what you care about.
As such, punching down and sideways only serves the purpose of making an environment where only the rich and powerful band together, and the poor (us) routinely infight and chop off our own legs rather than realizing that these megacorps hiring leagues of lobbyists, psychologists, marketers, etc know exactly how to push, and know that exactly the person you are bitching at will almost certainly never see your comment, or will consider it hostile and irrelevant so it wont matter either way.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 2 weeks ago:
Like every comment like yours that I have ever seen, I would bet money you didn’t quite say what you are claiming to say here, didn’t say it in a way that would imply the same thing, and didn’t get quite the reaction you are saying you got.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 2 weeks ago:
People, especially on lemmy are looking for any cope that Ai will just fall apart by itself and no longer bother them by existing, so they’ll upvote whatever lets them think that.
The reality that we are just heading towards the trough of disappear wherethe investor hype peters off and then we eventually just have a legitimately useful technology with all the same business hurdles of any other technology (tech bros trying to control other peoples lives to enrich themselves or harm people they don’t like)
- Comment on A swing and a miss 2 weeks ago:
It’s not perfect, but the basic idea is that assuming malice as default in every scenario will cause one to spiral into paranoia.
But thats not what the phrase actuyally advocates for. It feels almost like a bit of theological apologia to save a phrase that really does far more harm than good in my estimation.
- Comment on A swing and a miss 2 weeks ago:
I almost wonder if there shouldn’t be an extension or corollary of Hanlon’s Razor somewhere to account for AI.
I feel like Hanlon’s Razor is a disease more than it is useful to anyone in any situation.
So frequently do normal people refuse to acknowledge that others can simply be malicious, that this rule only serves to aid people in giving the benefit of the doubt to people who act in ways to abuse it.
Politicians, shitty bosses, unscrupulous contractors, etc etc. All of these people hurt others by abusing their presumptions of innocence.
- Comment on A swing and a miss 2 weeks ago:
See, the big problem in my opinion, is that they didn’t convince people that the cops are great. They convinced people that the cops are mostly abusing the people they want to see abused…
A big problem in that is the obvious and massive societal issue that so many people voted on, and seem to care about, above all else, whether or not the marginalized people they hate are being hurt.

- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 5 weeks ago:
I gotta be real with you. This comment very much sounds like the delusional super stonk member who think eventually the big system they believe is colluding to fuck them trips up on a technicality and makes them uber rich.
Basically, you’re just imagining a reality that wont exist for so many reasons.
The biggest reason is that the AI GPUs do not use DIMMs largely, and even server dimms (ecc rdimms) won’t fit in your PC.
More than that, by the time anything does happen, technology will have moved on.
If you’re about to say “but I don’t have to”, Id ask you why you arent on a 10 year old computer right now.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 5 weeks ago:
The fact people are blaming the tech rather than the tech bros is a big part of why this keeps happening.
Its the decision of real people that make this situation suck.

The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.

Interesting that when shown to be wrong, you now simply want to pretend you were right and leave the conversation.
Thats how stubborn gate keeping views typically work isn’t it. The belief comes first, and the reasons to back it up dead last.

Tell me you’ve never tried to code a complex interactive experience without telling me you’ve never tried to code a complex interactive experience.
I actually have, and have worked on multi person teams doing such.
Its why this line of argument rings so hollow.
Even if I didn’t, I could obviously point to the many games that do have levels of granularity like this, and are completely successful at it.
If you think it’s so easy to take every element of a highly complex, performance sensitive program and make it possible to pick and choose which ones you experience without breaking the whole experience or turning a 1 year project into a 10 year project, go ahead and try.
See, this is what is called the most blatant strawman argument I have ever seen. It is so obviously so far removed from anything I’ve suggested its laughable on its face.
Do you also ask movie directors to make their movies so that when you hit ‘skip scene’ because you don’t like the way the scene looks, it still makes a good movie?
Yet another nonsensical analogy for obvious reasons. You wouldn’t need this obviously badly fitting analogies if your POV had merit.
What movies don’t let you skip past some scenes based on what you’d like? I very frequently speed up/skip parts in movies that move too slow, or even rewatch parts that I miss. Its most definitely an additive part of the experience.
That’s just your failure to understand there are more kinds of museum than a history museum.
All museums do what I am talking about. Your pedantry about it being more than history does not at all change the merit of the point made.
The analogy is a failure, to be sure, but only because I hadn’t considered the possibility you wouldn’t have that piece of common knowledge. Now that you do have that knowledge, though, if you can’t see the analogy, that’s on you.
Except that the literal only thing you could point out that was wrong with my critcism of it, was pedantic and had no effect on the effectiveness of the point.
Being stubborn is a virtue to you I suppose.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 month ago:
The differences lie only in the physical/resource limitations each has for the kinds of experiences they can include.
Not only is this wrong, but it’s also nonsensical. It is nonsensical because these are massive elements of each experience and why accommodating preferences in one is far easier than the other. Its also wrong because most museum experiences with interaction absolutely have the option to skip parts of said interactions.
The other reason this is wrong, is that these are certainly not the only areas differences lie in, as museums aim to preserve history, and are therefore locked in content wise from that perspective, what with the physical artifacts and care for that. Games are not at all that.
The whole analogy is terrible.

No. No I did not.
To use only that excerpt and ignore that the primary point was that this was harm reduction vs prior actions is to completely misrepresent the point.
I was clear in that the point was solely about the criticism being in the technology choice, not the foreign policy.
