Enshittification, in my kitchen?!

You have to be pretty naive to not have seen this one coming from a mile off. But hey, at least people can see what’s in their fridge without having to open the door, what a luxury.

Conversely, I’d imagine there are babysitters out there who at times wish they could just throw the baby away.

Tbf, I’d imagine trump spends all of his time on twitter writing incoherent babble, rather than reading what anyone else has to say.

Wow, how is this walking corpse still vertical?

Last I saw of him was in Sasha baron Cohen’s “This is America”, and even then he looked like the protagonist in a parody called “weekend at Rudi’s”

Did you read the article? Your final sentence pretty much sums up what happened.

Yeah I can appreciate that take mate. The level of audacity they would need to think something like this wouldn’t be noticed is almost unimaginable. Lying by omission does feel like the best comparison to make regarding this.

Rest easy friend; there will be plenty more corporate nonsense for us all to jawdrop over tomorrow!

If you give a letter to a postman, and the recipient asks why you put “P.S: I love you” on an official piece of documentation, your first thought wouldn’t be “that damn postman, opening my mail to try and enhance it”.

The same is true for YouTube. People have been uploading videos for decades with them ending up on the platform the way they are uploaded, so it stands to reason that longtime users would expect this behaviour to continue, especially if there have been no Comms around any changes.

Of course Google isn’t to be trusted, and anyone trusting YouTube to be ethical clearly isn’t paying attention to anything. But that doesn’t change the fact that youtube have intentionally hidden this change from their user base. Sure, the result was public facing, but the cause was kept secret; and that’s the nuance you’re overlooking.

Damn you sir, you didn’t need to call me out with that last paragraph.

No, I know it wasn’t my shoe, but look at how well it fits!

Activism like this isn’t for people on Lemmy, who have already been exposed to the likes of decentralisation, open source Vs closed source etc… its predominantly for those that still think brand name = quality.

I don’t use social media these days, but i do have inactive accounts; I’m considering logging in and changing the pictures to clippy. It may have absolutely no effect, or it may be the 16th clippy PFP that someone sees, which may then prompt them to ask why everyone is changing their photo to clippy.

So whilst it won’t change anything in a large way, it can act as the catalyst for those who are still unaware to try and educate themselves on the subject, and hopefully lead to them leaving Microsoft products altogether like you’ve alluded to.

For example; I’m already not using any Microsoft products, so continuing to not use their products is less impactful than by changing my mainstream photos to clippy, even if it has no effect.

We can try to tell people about the evils of microsoft until we’re blue in the face… But if they “research” it themselves, it’s far more likely to stick.

Oh I see what you’re talking about. I thought you meant the link to fffmpegs forgejo site rather than the crosspost link.

Maybe it’s just the app I’m using, but sync was able to redirect me to the Open source community that this was originally posted to. (It’s hosted on lemmy.ml, but the poster is from Lemmy.zip, which is why the post link is Lemmy.zip).

When I open via browser though, I see the OSA block that you’re referring too… An interesting difference for sure. But I suppose if all posts from lemmy.zip were blocked, we wouldn’t be seeing this one either, so I’m guessing it’s just post shares that won’t work?

You sure that the issue is geographical? I’m in the UK and was able to access the site without using a VPN or anything like that.

I don’t think they were implying trump assassinated Epstein personally; but rather ordered the hit.

Given we’re talking about a supposed peadophile with a litany of accusers in his wake; I wouldn’t say telling someone else to end the guy keeping a black book with all the dirty history is far fetched at all. The murder happened whilst trump was president; and trump evidently had a lot of close ties with Epstein (alluding to the possibility that he had a lot if not the most to lose… Should Epstein turncoat to save his own skin etc…).

I don’t think ordering a hit is something that requires a spine; in the name of self preservation, one could even argue it’s a cowardly act.

So what you’re telling me is it’s still a legal argument.

An order for a weed smoking cow.

Wasn’t Ghislaine Maxwell setting up elons karate lessons too?

No wonder he never wanted to fight the Zuck; all his previous ‘opponents’ were pre-pubescent.

Religion has historically provided a safe haven to the sick and twisted among society, where they’re allowed to act with impunity due to their perceived status.

That’s not directly due to the religion; but rather due to the societal pedestal being devout seems to put people on; “a holy person could never do that to a child” etc…

The reality is, other areas that benefit from this sort of status too find themselves riddled with bad actors… Just look through charity organisations and I can guarantee you’ll be combing over a sea of sociopaths buying themselves good credit with public opinion rather than people looking to make a difference because they want to (not to say these people don’t exist; they just don’t end up running the show normally)

I regret nothing.

Heres the link
