The technical term is “platform decay”. “Enshittification” is not the term to lead with if you want people not aware to take you seriously.

And this isn’t that.

Russian trolls just getting desperate at this point…

Kirkland Signature is Costco’s store brand.

Fucking Pocket.

Ah yes, a single random data point having nothing to do with the original post. You’ve convinced me.

Yup.

“Biden wins the election. Here’s why that’s bad for Biden.”

RIP anything made of linen.

Bro has never owned a piece of clothing made of linen in his life.

This is the way.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don’t respect that at all, and they’re instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that’s the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It’s mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled “The Principles of Communism” just to sign up should’ve tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Join an instance that has more lax federation standards and subscribe to the ml communities you care about, or get comfortable with defederation and people from other instances discarding your opinions. It’s a choice you need to make.

Don’t normalize this shit.

Opposing viewpoints are fine. Disingenuous viewpoints that conveniently show the egregious fallacies of that viewpoint and ignore them when pointed out deserve all the criticism they get.

And we know what one specific viewpoint we’re talking about. Lemmy is so deeply infested with it now with the exact same bend that it’s a disgustingly obvious disinformation campaign and voter suppression tactic.

Again, don’t normalize this shit.

occasionally I’ll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn’t be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.

My dryer’s “energy saver” setting is just an hour on low with the moisture sensor reducing the time if needed.

That’s plan, not actual. I somehow doubt it’ll even reach that level; it’s trying to save face with investors.

While the tech is impressive, I’m surprised Apple didn’t do enough research beforehand to understand if there’s a market for chunky $3500 computer goggles. None of this is really new tech, and I’m sure the sentiment isn’t hard to find.

Four*. FICO is another one and at one time was most commonly used for home mortgages. Not sure how true that is today, but it’s still very much in use.

They can’t bother you if you block them.

For example I just blocked the entire Linux lemmy.ml community 1 minute ago.

If the government told me that my “score” dictating my ability to participate in society would be greatly affected based on what I thought of the government, I’d support the heck out of that government too.

Calling out a government for flagrant propaganda has nothing at all to do with race.
