That’s what I was thinking. Fuck, I think Trump may actually be trying to go full Hitler.

Now it’s gone from Bluesky!

Not sure, but remember not to lace it with fentanyl unless you want your boss to break your kneecaps. The cartels don’t like their suppliers killing customers to hide skimming.

It used to be that way. That last gen was literally the LAST gen. Xbox is a digital platform, Sony is moving towards being the budget gaming PC for families, Nintendo has made the Switch 2 a redesign and screen upgrade that’s (hopefully) cheaper than a Steam Deck.

I won’t make any bets, but the console wars seem to have ended (unless Xbox vs. Steam Deck becomes a selling point).

Tbf, this may be symptomatic. In real life, medieval “cities” had less people than many modern “nothing exciting ever happens here” rest stops. You may have reached a legitimate logistic limit of the time period.

As a tech geek and an artist (writer), I wholeheartedly agree. This is purely for the benefit of investors, not the craft.

I don’t need to be paid, I just don’t want corpos profiting off of my data for any reason, so robots.txt works fine for me. The reason that’s enough in my eyes is, I don’t hate capitalism nor am I an anarchist or tankie, this is about halting enshittification and for one other reason:

“AI is fundamentally about giving the wealthy access to skill while depriving the skilled of the means to access wealth.”

In short, eat the rich because they’ve ruined everything. They want capitalism? Then no more “laissez-faire” bullshit, you pay your fucking 90% tax on every dollar above 1 mil and shut it. Nobody needs 15 different colors of common Lamborghini and 1 Lambo out of less than 500. Nobody needs 5000 days of going to the mall to buy a dress every day. Nobody needs a personally-owned A380 private jet. Nobody needs 25%, 25 fucking percent, return on investment.

That also applies to the internet and tech companies as much as reality and banks. When I used Reddit, I never told them they could block access behind a paywall and they know it, and they also knew I can’t afford an international court case against an American tech giant. Now 90% of google is locked behind reddit, a company which shadow banned me well before the API issues.

As long as Reddit, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. can’t legally make free money off of this, I’m happy.

Just FYI for anyone reading this, “SJW” stands for the “Sh.itJust.Works” instance of Lemmy that the Agora is part of, not “Social Justice Warrior” which was the first thing that came to my head. Hopefully this prevents some misunderstandings. You’re welcome!
