The billionaires have won, we are not getting the implementation of AI that helps us the most until we FIGHT the class war.

They are fucking losers, saved you a click.

I am exercising my 2nd amendment rights, purchasing multiple firearms for multiple purposes and have signed up for classes at a local range. I’m with you, but acknowledge that this part of it feels like a lonely endeavor.

The only viable solution when Nazis take control of government is violence. There is no reasoning with them, they are not logical.

Let them die.

I took a shit, it’s growing sentient and could surpass almost all humans at almost anything by 2027.

Keeping it brief but drilling down a level deeper, enshittification results in an increase in short-term profits which is a positive for publicly traded companies who are legally obligated to increase profits or risk litigation by shareholders. The vast majority of consumers, once in an “ecosystem” of a product (social media is a great example here) will not leave the ecosystem due to the mild inconvenience of leaving. The profit lost by the very few who have the wherewithal to leave the ecosystem is made up for by those short term profit gains.

It’s a cycle that continues on and on, sometimes saved by vast changes by the company to reel in those “lost” consumers. Or sometimes the company messes up so bad that they never return to their pre-enshittification days.

As long as companies have a duty to shareholders to increase profits at all costs, we will always see enshittification. This is a feature, not a bug, of capitalism.

Enshittification is a result of capitalism…in which venture capital plays a huge part. So…

That’s fair, it’s important in some ways to conceal the hand a bit. We have to make to make the rich as uncomfortable as we are though.

We did prioritize non-violent ones, and this is where it got us. The ONLY option is violence.

Lololol what a PR stunt, and all the NPC’s gobbled it up.

Damnit, same thing here.

They are claiming backwards compatibility, and I assume that means for physical copies as well. If not, eh we’ll see!

Let’s go! I’m excited for hardware that will run Pokemon Violet/Scarlet at a non-dog shit framerate (other than pirating).

I would just worry about GPU drivers honestly, Intel seems to be doing fine on Linux for the most part.

Add onto the pile of no Facebook, no Amazon, no Microsoft, no Apple.

Nailed it. The transition to Linux should be as smooth as possible for newcomers.

For those about to switch, welcome to Linux! If you have AMD hardware give Linux Mint a shot. If you have NVIDIA, Pop!_OS is worth your first install.
