I’m quite aware of enshittifacation. And, though the word is new, the concept is not. It was most recently called “planned obsolescence” and I think older folks just called it “trashy new stuff” or something folksy like that. But that’s harder to apply to the amorphous entity that is the Internet and the economy that’s been built around it. Don’t fall for the doomsday cult of “it’s all just going to shit anyway so let’s only care about ourselves”. That’s how we got Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, and Mormons (among so many others).

There must be something messed up with your Google search cause googling Lemmy gets me Motorhead first and then either lemmy.org or lemmy.world plus some wikipedia explainers, I don’t even see a link to lemmy.ml even after 2 pages of results.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

How’s that on mobile? Oh, right. It isn’t.

We need real solutions.

Chromium does a lot of heavy lifting to fix problems with websites which enables certain web developers to be lazy.

Yeah, this is part of the new Reaganomics I like to call AIconomics. The goal isn’t to produce a good product, the goal to make something flashy that tech billionaires want to throw cash at. It’s not unlike crypto. Crypto has literally no actual value yet people are shitting money into bitcoins of every type in hopes that one will hit it big. Meanwhile tech billionaires keep minting new ones to entice new suckers every other week. The tech billionaires want you hooked on AI so you’ll give up your private info that they can sell to each other so they can cash in, the software companies are investing their time and resources into making AI LLMs in order to get tech billionaires to give them money. It’s a viscous capitalist circle. Only thing that will stop it is heavy regulation. But with Republicans in charge that will absolutely never happen. Trump practically made his entire cabinet out of billionaires and corporate shills. And too many Democrats gave them the thumb up, so don’t count of Dems doing a whole lot to stall the big tech chokehold on everything either.

Bwahahahah

I locked that shit out fucking day one. Fuck Gemini.

AICore under all apps. Disable and delete files. Done.

You know what the hilarious part is? They are ending support for Win 10 in October which essentially means that the OS will no longer receive security updates. But judging by this blind adoption of AI and the extreme loss of talent at Microsoft, I’m not sure their security will really be worth anything in a couple of years.

I think it may be for the best that I’m using this impetus to migrate to Linux.

Anyone wanna take bets on Trump cancelling the program to “save the budget”?
