It did not used to be this way. Every website result used to be "cached", but not anymore...
Enshittification 😔

I hear that. Fwiw, a lot has been broken for a very long time - not merely weeks or months or even years but rather decades, so this is more of a reckoning that is catching up to us than it is a total surprise.
Similar to Brexit I would imagine, and many other similar trends around the globe, with similar causes and effects. People got complacent, the wealthy ignored the plight of the poor, who reacted out of desperation, and now... we'll see.

Omg, you might not have been paying attention lately, but I 100% guarantee that it will be solely in English. Assuming we are allowed to vote again, which tbf we probably will, it's just that the options will be preselected for us. As it has pretty much always been, but moar so now.

Maybe, just maybe, it shouldn't be an age but a knowledge requirement. Some 10 year olds know that there are (were?) e.g. 3 branches of government, while I kid you not there are some 20+ year olds that are not aware of that plain and simple fact fact. On average, older people tend to be a little bit more knowledgeable than young, if only due to having had more time to figure stuff out, although otoh also society does change out from under them - e.g. which is more trustworthy, something seen on the TV "news", or something shared on TikTok?
It seems more like an attitude of responsibility to me than an age or anything else. Perhaps make college degree a requirement - while keeping the GI bill offering college funding to people who successfully serve (without being dishonorably discharged) in the military. Or just a test of how government "works".
Or rather, used to work. We aren't coming back from this, methinks.

Not just Linux, but you obviously have to use the *correct* distro of it, which obviously is...
correct
Are you shitting me right now, why would you click that!? Allow me to explain in this 50 part manifesto why I am so very smart and everyone else is beneath me...
That said, X is legit an Alt-Right Nazi bar. Even as we here are an Alt-Left one. I suppose it simply comes with the territory.:-|

Counter-counterpoint: uh... damnit, I forgot the tooth (*already*!?).
A statement which somehow makes so much more sense than the rest of 2025 so far.
You might want to banana.
- Comment on What we all want deep down 1 month ago:
I think it's far worse than that, sadly. Some people chase after something - daddy / peer approval? - that they will never have, and certainly cannot buy with money, yet they've inappropriately decided to triple down on attaining more money as their means to solve their other personal issues. And then control all of society trying to get people to look down on anyone who does otherwise.
Really they don't even desire the money, like a zombie munching, yet unlike a living being's hunger response from which it was originally born, it will never become sated, it's just an endless intake with no purpose (anymore).
