We’ll need basic income funded by a robot tax and some sort of wealth tax until then.

It probably doesn’t because they are not gonna pay it.

There are a hundred good reasons to regulate drones, and this must be the worst.

We are well past the point where the client decides how hypertext looks. You are talking about feed readers.

Is it a good ad? I‘ve no clue about the hot sauce market in 1998, but Tabasco‘s USP isn’t its hotness, it’s its vinegary flavour.

I wasn’t talking about myself. Empathy is not a techie’s forte.

no thank, I’m good

Most people can’t.

Ok I’m with you that only removing the bloatware is bad advice, but my point stands that many people don’t have any of these options. And I’d argue that getting spied on by ad agencies is better than being left behind at the digital divide.

All true, but most users don’t have the know-how or resources to change anything about their OS so they’re stuck with that, bad idea or not. Their alternative would be using no PC at all.

It‘s not really censorship, but comments of mine were deleted for less. Maybe not in this community, but I really can’t keep track who enforces which rules.

I’m sorry, why should they care? Burn down their data centers (in Minecraft).

Yes, most people who run a household can’t invest ressources in learning how to repair electronics (which can also be quite dangerous and insurance will not pay if you burn down your own home) and rarely can afford to go one or two weeks without a fridge or an oven or a washing machine. That’s not really on the people, though, so maybe don’t sound so snotty.

Discord itself was a big step of enshittification from the very start when communities moved from individual platforms to Discord servers.

yep, the “fair” isn’t exclusive to the customer.

You’re welcome
