let people with a stake in the future decide

Exactly, this is why people at the top need to be laughed out of existence. So the rest of us with a stake in the future can go back to deciding.

We need to make tech moree difficult any way we can to drive the normies back out. Let them have their slop lol

I don’t get how Google glass got laughed out of existence, but people are out there champing at the bit to buy Meta spyware glasses… It’s fucking insane.

Nobody is saying that they do… What they are saying is that one does not simply fuck a Nazi and expect good results. Like what the fuck else is there to be expected? You date a Nazi, you’re it exactly going to have a great time unless you’re also a Nazi I guess, but even then I doubt women are much respected in those groups.

Rape is bad. Nazis are bad. I think the moral is: don’t date bad people if you don’t want bad outcones.

From what I read over there, dbus is to blame for this one.

People like him are why gatekepeeping hobbies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Once the flood of normies comes in, they outnumber the passionate ones and it all goes downhill from there.

I see more and I become more aware, which leads me to do research on competing brands if it’s something I want.

If I only saw ads for GM I’d wonder why they suck so much that they need to push so many ads for people to buy their vehicles. My comfort with a brand/product relies in the experience I’ve had with them along with word of mouth from friends and reviews for it.

The world would be a much better place if everyone was autistic, probably lol

Yup, doesn’t matter where the data centres are - a contract is only as trustworthy as the person or company you signed it with. Throwing all your government and medical and everything else docs on somebody else’s computer with a “trust me bro” privacy statement seems like a recipe for disaster.

Not to mention that it feels like Microslop only makes Copilot vibecoded slopware.

Remember when the world wasn’t fucked up and Microsoft got spanked just for including IE in the OS? Look at the shit these fucks get away with now.

I will never understand how advertisements pay for things… Like who’s out there thinking “hell yeah, I really want to support this shit that’s interrupting everything I try to do every few minutes!” The stuff that people do buy that are advertised to them I always assumed were things they’d buy anyway like junk food and snacks.

The AI part might be new, but major subreddits were forcing people to freeboot content for years. I tried calling it out, but apparently I was the one in the wrong lmao

That might work too, but making it more difficult to access would mean fewer basic users accelerating its destruction lol. Ideally we need to move tech back to the enthusiasts who actually understand and care about it

Lol seems easy as fuck to obfuscate, especially when you’re dealing with an old telnet style system

I find it hard to believe you’re constantly learning when you turn away from something as simple as Jellyfin for being “too hard” and consider Apple products to be user friendly…

No lol. The basic setup is: you point it to your libraries, it does the rest. Just like Plex.

Connecting remotely is maybe slightly trickier since you have to open it up to the internet, or just run tailscale.

Jellyfin is complicated? It’s easier to get going than Plex IMO. It might be slightly trickier to access it outside of your home network but even that’s not all that hard, just set up tailscale

You’re not supposed to answer, you’re supposed to re-read your stupid comment and realize how wrong you are, then fix it? I’m not looking for an echo chamber, I’m looking for stupid users to stop being stupid before tech gets completely ruined by them all.

Can’t we just go back to BBSing? Improve the tech behind it to improve security, and problem solved. It’s too complicated for the normies to use and allow further enshitification from lol
