This is correct

you’ve got two important ideas I want to separate; people moving towards concern for welfare of company over people, and product pricing.

Enshittification (platform decay) describes the pattern where products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, passionate developers create things that match their vision, and consumers benefit from this labor of love. Eventually they degrade their services to maximize profits for shareholders. Inside the company, it’s because the owners get rich and money is more important to them than their vision. Outside the company, customers favor big corporations because they think small companies aren’t successful companies. Many people would be surprised to learn that small businesses employ 45.9% of American workers, or about 59 million people. It’s not that the small companies “haven’t made it yet”. They’re literally the backbone of our economy.

As for product pricing, I’m with you 100%. Buy dollar store shampoo that smells good, it’s the only bottle in my shower. It’s exactly as effective as the pricey stuff.

oh, find a topic you really like to write about, for me it was pokemon, but it could be anything. like your personal blog. and turn it into a website. use cloudways for hosting, it’s very cheap. buy yourself a domain name. updating the site will be fun and easy, and teach you how to write code. as you learn more stuff, you can incorporate it. you’ll get good at it, trust

do you want a job in software dev?

riot games settles for 100 million dollars after sexually harassing its own employees.

Male employees (developers, I think) engaged in drunken “panty raids” where they would crowd into a woman’s cubicle and take things from her while she worked.

Riot games chose to pay these women to go away, rather than fix the problem.

They make League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. I will never spend another dollar on their products.

is a dildo a tool

you could write a SPA (single-page app) with input for email or chat messages, wired up on the backend to make use of your personal API key or account. Just have them fill in boxes for their name. And delegate to the appropriate FOSS service depending on what they pick.

I don’t think this exists on the market, you’d have to write it yourself but it would be pretty easy

it’s so easy to chat with you!

hi

I’m nicole, but you can call me the fediverse chick

the entire point of the thread

Dudes that are into piss

Your title should have read “How do you destroy the notion that Republicans are the good guys?”

There are far too many Americans that support the far right. They’ve been convinced that conservatism will protect their interests, even while it blatantly destroys them. It is a morally greater objective to turn these people around, and more practically achievable, than undermining its opponent.

Yes, we know. You think liberalism is an ally of conservatism, not an opponent. We’re all very impressed with your extensive knowledge, bravo. You’ve shown nuanced and deep understanding of the political landscape by criticizing the contender of the enemy.

I think most people who criticize the left are like you. More interested in stroking their egos than actually solving a problem. You’re trying to demonstrate mastery of a subject by being critical of it, not because you want it to change but because you want people to be impressed with you.

If you actually wanted things to get better you’d be teaching people to undermine conservatism, which is the greater threat.

Be better.

What?

Good night ✋

Why is news via RSS better than news via Reddit? Or news via TikTok?

I’m asking why this technology solution is better for maintaining a healthy mental state.

And can you give more specific examples on how to achieve it?

is this post a question?

Child labor and slavery!

I think this is an eccentricity, not a reference to a real idea

In software, business logic is the non-technical requirements. For example, users with the “trainer” role can only take on four “trainees” maximum and cannot train each other. Note there was no discussion of code in that example, it was just a requirement of a system that a software developer will have to meet.
