That’s what you think, until you bite into a mouthful of advertisements.

This is a poignant illustration of enshittification.

Imagine you’re in Photoshop “retouching” your own portrait. First, you remove the little bit of makeup that smudged near your eye. Fair enough. It was distracting. But now that it’s gone, your eye sees a wrinkle and decides that’s probably distracting too.
Now the wrinkle’s gone and you’re studying the image again. Aha! A mole near your temple! That can go, too.
So now the makeup smudge, the wrinkle, and the mole are gone. You study the image again for flaws…
And that’s how it happens. Every time you “fix” something you re-evaluate and will always find something to change because your goal has slowly shifted from making you beautiful by reducing “distractions”, it’s to find and fix “flaws” which, turns out, are infinite when you take this approach.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 2 weeks ago:
He convinced the government to subsidize the sale of his products to consumers. It makes sense on paper because we want more people driving electric cars. However, Tesla of all companies doesn’t deserve the “handout”, even though it’s to consumers. They don’t deserve the boost in sales, recognition, etc.
It’s not technically a scam (the best kind!) but it’s helping out the richest man and biggest asshole in the world, so it might as well be.

Your fatigue with it all is kind of their end game, I think? They’re doing stuff that probably should be talked about everywhere because it affects everyone. When people with authority grow tired of people complaining about it and trying to moderate it out, you’ve got problems.

Probably, yeah ☹️

Yeah, there’s no guarantee that’ll save it, but the QuadLock one has lots of videos of tests that seem convincing.
That said, optical image stabilization requires tiny, fairly-fragile parts to float the lenses. It’s kind of a miracle they survive even normal phone abuses, let alone high-frequency, shake-things-to-pieces vibrations.

Maybe look into how we ended up with 8-hour workdays and weekends… Hint: it was not through peaceful, polite negotiations with the ruling class…

Stop putting people on hold, period. We have the technology to just call back when they’re at or near the top of the queue. If they miss their call, maybe their number gets priority for an hour or something. Either way, when I get put on hold, I mostly fantasize about murdering whoever set up that system.

You don’t eat them to liberate their money. You eat them to show others of their kind what happens to those who hoard wealth away from the needy.

It’s distributed so no single entity can take it down. Among many other possible benefits depending on architecture and infrastructure.
It’s far more complex than coins and NFTs. Blockchain is like a new internet. Coins and NFTs are like those shitty GIFs you used to see everywhere. Evocative of old internet, but not the internet itself.

Well I suppose I’ve assumed “ACAB” is effectively interpreted as “American Cops are Bastards”. Obviously other countries do it far better, but it’s our reality over here. I’m sure there are numerous good apples here too, but they’re a consolidated force so it seems fair to judge them by the behaviours they show us as a group, generally.

Police are just high-school dropouts living on welfare under the guise of “doing a job” because they drive or walk around all day. I guess that’s “earning a living”?
ACAB.
