The only reason I remain subscribed is for the resounding proof that there are in fact stupid questions.

“Bored of peace” coalition

They have been hired predominantly because of their ability to not question what they are told.

They arrived at a somewhat defendable decision despite the AI slop though.

Probably should have been a limited number of fans allowed, the number based on the ability to protect them with the police resources available at the time.

Ok, I disagree with Cory Doctorow due to the modus operandi of any tech organisation trying to turn a profit in a late stage capitalistic society along with the more detailed reasons others have provided in this post.

And I’m tired of the Guardian publishing hopium articles.

Getting pretty tired of the Guardian’s copium tbh.

Fascists, mostly.

Fence-dwellers? Enablers? Invertebrates?

Trouble is that the status quo in the western world is capitalism, which is inherently right-wing. So if you’re anywhere near the “centre” you’re broadly in favour of it, ergo somewhat right-wing. This is where the addage that there are no left-wing parties in the US comes from.

In my experience most people who identify as centre-left are usually more right-wing than they feel they are.

Turns out there are stupid questions after all.

At this point it’s easier to list things that aren’t being “enshittified”.

The easiest ways for a corporation to increase profits in the short term is to increase prices, cut staff, reduce quality control, sell ad space or a combination of those. All of these result in inferior products.

Don’t be evil.

AI is clearly no match for little Bobby Tables.

Tangential, but I don’t understand why in American English you feel the need to say the word quote at all. In UK English we just use intenation.

Profit for shareholders.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The whole poem by Dylan Thomas is fantastic but that line in particular often pops into my head during difficult times, like these.

You’ll need to sign up for a new account on the other instance. I’d recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one. Keep the one you’ve got in case of an lemmy.world outage.

Content is generally shared amongst the main instances so you’ll generally be able to see the same stuff wherever you create an account. Most of the Lemmy apps have multi-account functionality so you can add both.

Oh dear someone has had a tantrum and resorted to shouting and ad hominiums.

I know solar is good and sounds like it works well for you in your part of the world. My only point is that it’s not going to solve climate change like you make out.

I don’t play Fortnite or Rocket League lmao.

Yes they are the leaders in solar which is they are a good example… If the rest of the world was going at thier pace (it’s not) it still wouldn’t be fast enough.

Then we’ve got the degradation to worry about so the panels will all need regularly replacing whilst silver, gold and rare earth metals run out.

Rolling out that infrastructure is not likely to be smooth whilst most countries will be busy footing bills for the ongoing extreme weather. Not to mention the other potential blockers like wars, pandemics and lack of political will.

That last line sounds boundlessly optimistic and condescending in equal measures. Magic is real lol please. Of course I know sunlight comes from the sky and electricity can be used to play games consoles.

Seems pretty realistic to me if Covid is anything to go by…
