I definitely think it needs something. Right now most of the posts are entirely irrelevant to my interests and my friends that have switched have said the same. A "simple" shared interests algorithm (show posts that people with similar interests engaged with) or something would be great and not inherently predatory

Welcome to the wonderful world of the silicon valley tech era! Everything must be profitable at all costs! Everything must steal every tiny fact about you! Everything must include ! Everything must go through enshittification!

Idk how MAC spoofing helps me save on car insurance but alright

Hi, non "stuck up puritan ass" here.

It's not a disease, it's a disorder. They are 2 objectively different things and it's important to distinguish between the 2, you overly hostile ass

I think a better analogy would be making HTML look like one of those template thingies people use for bullet journals

Also Chrome books, Android users that don't care enough to change browsers, and most people who aren't wholly in Apple's ecosystem. Lemmy users are more knowledgeable about tech than probably 90% of the population. The demographics here definitely aren't representative of the real world

They were just fighting cancer

Okay, it's not a great movie, but it's definitely fun enough to warrant more than a 17%

Often typically

What kind of insects do you survey?

And also, what kind of surveys are we talking, cause that word has too many meanings!

Should just nuke them now and get it over with honestly

But remember, having all these private companies run the system is good, actually! The alternative is communism despite every other capitalist country in the world using the alternative!

I mean, we spend more on defense than the next several nations combined and we haven't won a war in 80 years.

We spend more on healthcare than every other nation and it's still the most expensive healthcare system in the world.

We spend hundreds of billions on a welfare system that forces people on it to keep working until the day they die.

We throw out billions in kickbacks and "incentives" to billion dollar companies.

I could go on with the numerous, seemingly never ending problems with the US, but the point is that our system is indeed bad and dumb. Nothing we have works, and all of it is extremely over funded and under delivering. At this point, tearing it all up and starting again seems like the easier way to fix things, and getting to that point is never good

Yes.

Welcome to America! The greatest nation!

As someone who has spent a lot of their time around wanna be gen z tech bros, 99% of people have more in common with a damn antelope than gen z tech bros, especially the fanatically devoted ones. Those guys make some Jonestown people look like they aren't weren't in a cult

It gets worse-

They spell defense with a c!

no garlic, no onions

Guess I'll just fucking suffer then

I've made an entire website for a project off python. It's a general purpose programming language

God I feel this. I'm probably not nearly as bad, but I'd like to not have to carefully analyze what I eat anymore

I think we've passed the point where any non-free service could compete with a free one. The short term gains of shoving ads in everyone's face is in full force.

I do think in the future when these companies have burned through every ounce of investor money we'll go back to paid services, but I think that's a decade out or more. There already exists a few paid services similar to YouTube such as diet quibi Dropout, Nebula, and Floatplane (I think it's premium), and I think those will serve as the models for future services.

They're all rather affordable and their models are setup for people that want to follow creators (nebula and Floatplane) or for people that want to follow specific shows (dropout). They don't advertise to you, there are no sponsor spots, and they're always working to improve their platforms for the user. Hell, in a recent episode on dropout, the CEO admitted that their player had issues that they wanted to fix completely unprompted.

Hopefully future services will model themselves in a similar way, of not an improved formula, but again I think it's a long way out
