  They’re insecure and hate the real version of themselves is my interpretation. Instead of confronting that and moving forward with work to become a better person they instead put up a facade, often justifying the harm they do to the people who believe in the facade by convincing themselves that these facades are common to all people, and everyone is fake

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safety in typing, no cloud needed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Put simply: yes

  The typing scheme is highly innovative and the code they used to do it is proprietary so its a little hard to get started replicating. Further, they have a design patent that means you need permission from the company and licensing to replicate that action. The way they do this licensing and permission means its FAR easier to get that permission and include the proprietary binary blob than to reinvent the mechanism. I’m sure there are extreme radical FOSS-heads interested in doing this with code they’re working on, but any big project that wants to create a legitimate daily driver keyboard is going to be more focused on other problems surrounding ethical predictive text and the precision of screen taps. Like this is more a question of what problems are worth solving than anything. There’s plenty of hard problems in the mobile keyboard space that don’t involve lawyers, especially when getting access to the Swype lib to embed in keebs has thus far been pretty trivial and that lib has been found to be not gnarly in audits.

  Personally I do have worry about Swype doing a rugpull with this licensing to keyboards that are using it, since that’s one of the paths of enshittification/rot-econony, but I also wouldn’t choose not to use a keyboard without swipe gestures (in fact my current keyboard doesn’t have them because I can type fine enough without them and its one less thing to install or worry about)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer: No

  Long answer: Look into the phrase “rot economy.” Basically, enshitification starts MUCH earlier in the process than an IPO or a major buy out. It happens because our financial markets value growth, not financial gain. We always here about how companies only worry about the bottom line, but they don’t, actually. They care about demonstrating growth. How do you make growth happen while not worrying about the bottom line? Easy! Operate at a loss on purpose! That way you can capture more of the market in a fiscal year, and then the next year adjust your prices a little bit and operate at slightly less loss and show investors you’ve grown. Those adjustments? That’s enshitification. It all happens from the very first moment when you decide, “We have to capture the market.” That’s not the IPO. That’s the very founding of a business.

  We need to instead value sustainable businesses. Ones that have higher revenues than losses. And you’ll notice something VERY interesting about sustainable businesses: They don’t do MASSIVE 3rd quarter layoffs literally every year. Why? Because they don’t have to show the investors that they’ve made a profit, they just need to show they captured more market and then reduced costs

  Yeah I’d be more likely to label dark souls as a 3d metroidvania than as an ARPG. Yeah, it has RPG elements, but what AAA game doesn’t?

  The problem with that is that bad faith actors engage in bad faith arguments for a reason. They just want a few people to hear them. It doesn’t matter that the majority of people who hear them see through their lies. It matters that they reach that small audience. To let that small audience know they’re not alone. The goal is to activate, engage, and coalesce that small audience. This is what the alt-right does. This is what they’ve done since the 1920s. We have 100 years of evidence that you can’t just “Hear out” the Nazis’ opinions without harm coming to real, legitimate people. The best way to deal with bad faith actors is to deplatform them before they’ve achieved a platform

  I get my best results with either Duckduckgo or with Searx. Neither run their own index but the independent index searches I’ve tried have been straight up ass. It seems right now the best thing you can do is simply escape the curated personalized results bubbles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grass⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only arguments against fake grass are that it doesn’t look nice, and it isn’t made from sustainable materials. The arguments for fake grass include that it is low maintenance (negating some of the environmental impact), and that it is much better for people with accessibility needs.

  Meanwhile, grass lawns require lots if maintenance (not good at all for the environment), aren’t good for people with accessibility needs, and look boring and unvaried. Meanwhile the upside for a grass lawn is it looks traditional. To that I say, screw tradition. Grow clover, wildflowers, moss, and edible plants in your yard. These NIMBY brit-karens fan fuck off
