Ah yes, the nuanced thinking of a 5 year old - everything is black and white and everyone who doesn’t agree w me 100% is evil

Probably ‘Talos Principle’. I still haven’t finished it though. A tier puzzle game for me. Maybe S tier by the time I finish!

- Comment on Firefox will have a built-in ‘fake reviews detector’ — Amazon is in trouble 7 months ago:
This has the same energy as someone who says they want to drive a car less because it has seatbelts installed.
Like fine - its a useful tool that might prevent you being scammed which just displays information you can easily ignore- better run away.
- Comment on Anyone sold source code? 7 months ago:
Thats pretty interesting. Do you mind telling us rough numbers on time spent building and sale price? Did you set out to make something you thought you could sell or just end up selling it?
- Comment on Anyone sold source code? 7 months ago:
Kind of. I saw there were marketplaces like Xpiece, GitMarket, etc popping up and I’m wondering if anyone tried those or something like it. They don’t seem to be exactly branded as ‘template marketplaces’ like a lot of the old source code sites were, but maybe there’s no difference.

- Comment on X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called 7 months ago:
I’m not on twitter and never was, but I’m not silly enough to think billionaires don’t shape my world in a million fucking ways with their unilateral decisions. Elon here has a HUGE one recently in deciding to disable starlink during a Ukraine offensive.
Trying to assist his rich buddies with fucking with the union is a lower tier crime but still its fuckery that affects a lot of people.
Then we’ve got other rich asshats selling state secrets for money.
Billionaires are a liability and everyone needs to realize it.

Somewhere an Elon fanboy is explaining why this is peak free speech

really good points. Thanks for the thoughtful response. I find the forum format the most comfy, but I’m the techy one so I think you’re right that others would probably prefer chats

What I’m envisioning is smaller communities that aren’t open to everyone like school / family / friends based communities.
After making the above comment I started reading about self hosting a lemmy instance with the idea that I might run one for my relatives and I to share photos, plan vacations, help w homework etc

hmm, I have watch history off. Is that why it keeps suggesting him so much? Im getting the ‘defaults’?

What Im realizing is that they still win even if the product gets worse. They don’t care about the product. They care about the short term gains that come from fucking around with their bottom line expenses and then presenting that to shareholders as value gain.
Modern day capitalism rewards nothing of value.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
May the next iteration of the internet include more people journeying to smaller communities that fit them, and less scooping everyone up and exposing them to as much outrage as possible to addict them.
Ideally all social media use goes to near zero

- Comment on FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free” 8 months ago:
Other countries seemed to have some common sense when it comes to capitalism in that they largely don’t allow capitalist incentives to entirely consume areas of public good, such as healthcare / education / and yes even government services such as tax collection.
The USA kind of forgot during the cold war that crony capitalism is a thing and the incentive to make the most money possible isn’t compatible with providing public goods.

- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 8 months ago:
Something ‘middle class’ Americans may want to notice:
When people are living in abject poverty, you are comparatively ‘rich’.
Anger at the ‘rich’ is at an all time high.
The ‘true rich’ are out of reach of the poor.
As income inequality grows, this will get worse.
