Ahahah I experienced only the media narrative, and it did play out exactly as you described it.

Of course now it comes to reason that many people were actively working to fix the problem, but they never really explained that part on TV.

Yep I think pops here has this one, us Millennials grew up with leet speak, it already was a thing in the 80s.

Paimon? So the cute fluffy sidekick in Genshin is one of the princes of hell?

The answer is, and always has been, unions and strikes.

Do your part.

“And that’s when enshitification kicked in”

Partition the internet… Like during the Morris worm of '88, where they had to pull off regional networks to prevent the machines from being reinfected?

The good old days were, maybe, not that good. :)

Why did the British called all their tanks “Mark”?

(I’m working in the punchline)

Bro you’re being bitten by chupacabras or something, what the hell

I 100% agree with your point of view then, it seems very logical.

Let’s say I’m immune to mosquito bites. I wouldn’t even notice one or two buzzing about. But I’m very reactive to bites, and get itchiness that lasts for what feels like hours, so as soon as something buzzes nearby, I’m panicking.

I have been using Mint for a long while now, and I’ve been very happy with it. Can’t say I’ve felt the need to try anything else…

I was surprised at the amount of things that just broke when I tried Wayland a couple of months ago, but that’s a lot of time to fix bugs and implement missing features.

But what about second lunch?!

Those CD loading screens made me long for my cartridges, to be fair…

Can you ask for the Police chief data?

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

Choo Choo!

KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.

If anything, I’d say that’s the single best case for buying IBM - if you’re incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you’ll be OK.

All I’ve got is wood, and I still need to beat it to a pulp, which is why I was considering beaver butts.

That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

That’s not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.
