I’m pretty happy with libre office. Not keen on AI code

Capitalism. The people calling the shots and keeping the profits are not the people doing the work.

It’s bad and will continue to be bad for everyone except the top layer of rich people.

This one maybe ? https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Criminal penalties for decision makers. Jail time. Disgorgement of profits.

This is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.

Seems like most people don’t really care about or understand stuff like “private platforms enshittify”. Certainly not enough to be inconvenienced. People will be like “that’s where the good memes are” or “that’s where my video games post”. Heavens forbid you miss the hot memes.

I will continue to avoid McDonald’s. Not going to break a no-meat streak for a shitty burger.

Just spent 10 minutes fooling around with fluxer via the web ui. Was able to invite a dice bot, but couldn’t get it to respond. (Also it’s very D&D-specific, but that’s a separate complaint)

Looks so much like Discord

Interesting but I think the modern Internet kills the magic. Looking at the other people in there and I can’t tell if they’re real or chat bots

Retire. Don’t like my job. Tech is circling the drain.

Other people posted some details but essentially if you’re not an idiot you can park that in safe investments and live a happy life.

I get so frustrated when I read about people who like win a few million, blow it on like stupid cars and houses, and end up poor again. Just don’t do that.

I dislike AI. It’s like the one ring. Stop trying to use it. But all these people think they’re stronger than Boromir.

Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.

It’s short and you can find a copy at your library, or on the seas.

Capitalism. The people making decisions aren’t the people doing the work. The people keeping the profits (and thus the power) aren’t the people doing the work.

I’m confident that a lot of the stuff that’s unpopular in games was put there because some ghoul thought it would be profitable, and the actual workers didn’t want to do it.

Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.

Why don’t we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)

Sadly, no. Two ancient laptops (circa 2004, 2008) and a 20-something inch crt with no HDMI.

I have several old but working electronics and I literally haven’t been able to give them away for free. They’re probably going to end up in the eWaste trash. I don’t know if that leads to anything being reclaimed, but probably not.

I read enough French that I didn’t notice at first, but then I was like “wait that said ride for 2 arrêtes…”, and chuckled.

Interesting. I really need one that does public transit.

Funny how this one has random snippets of French in the UI.
