'Murica brained post. 9/11 wasn’t worse or more important than many things that happened before or after in other countries. For 97% of the world it’s just one among many and not close to the top of what would count as a “before/after” thing.

When it’s badly made, like this, yeah. A recent example that I did like is the website for the Dragons Dogma 2 expansion:

Election in 10 days, though I don’t have high hopes on the outcome because waves wildly at everything.

Which are vehicles…

How did you fail at figuring that out?

It was open source till the ones who has the keys (which shouldn’t be a thing for FOSS in the first place) got an offer that made their greed take over. It’s a thing that keeps happening and it needs to be a very strong lesson that anything open source needs to be handled in a way where no one can do this.

Uh, have you not read any history and news your whole life? This is not a rare thing, and people with beliefs that are just as weird as hers get elected and put in positions of power all the time all over the world, and it’s always been like that.

Oh look, 'Murica brain…
It’s a common thing in a lot of the world. I’ve been on many medications throughout the years and all of them have had several options at each of the several drug store companies, and the default is always the cheapest. They always ask “are you ok with another brand?” if there’s a cheaper one than the one written on the prescription.

I’m forced to use Ubuntu (an old version too, 22.04) because the app I use for about 70% of my computer time doesn’t support anything else. I’ve tried newer versions of ubuntu and other distros and have gotten it to a mostly working state after a lot of work, but the issues are too much and I also loose all customer support since I’m not using the officially supported distro and version. I’ll never go back to Windows but I feel jailed in more than I did before, and there’s just no other option.

So what does that image look like?

Is my brain just not working or does that first sentence make no sense?

“that seem to think invasion of privacy is cool to police thought crime”

What? (I’m not disagreeing with you, based on the rest and what I think you’re saying, just to be clear)

Out of all instances to put on a sticker… that’s not a good choice. Fuck lemmy.world.

The stereotype of white men going to an Asian or east Europe country to get a wife holds strong through all levels of wealth and political power. No one who has any idea of who they are would ever chose them, and they’d never marry a black woman. Even having an Asian one is a bit much for many of them.

That must be a location thing because most links to their website gives a “accept cookies or deny and subscribe (which means paying them).” The link for this post didn’t show anything, but I’ve learned to not click links to their website because of the above mentioned. And I use an adblocker which removes the cookie popup most of the time but the guardian is one of the websites where it rarely works.

“the delusion that they alone is smart enough”

It very weird when an otherwise logical comment has such a dumb error.

Do you not read what you write?

I got my first computer at 15, in 2005, and even then they were very clearly bad just from my newbie experience and seeing forums posts. The word itself is so tainted for me because of them. One of the companies that “enshittified” way ahead of the curve.

You’re mistaking the bubble for the technology itself. AI can be and is used to good things, but the bubble is about the bad stuff. The whole idea of a bubble like this is that we over inflated something too quickly and too much to a point where it isn’t a good stable growth and the only way to stop that is for the bubble to burst. In modern-ish society there just won’t be a letting out of “air” to stabilise the bubble, there won’t even be a slowing of filling it until it bursts. When everything is about infinite growth and something new comes along we’ll always jump on that pump and fill the bubble as rapidly as we can and completely ignore any long term plan and consequences, because money and power.

TIL swingeing is a word, and with a very separate meaning from swinging. It just looks weird and feels like swinging should be the actual correct one but that spelling seems to be pretty specifically for the polygamous sex stuff.
