All tech companies eventually enshitify and we would never be able to remember all of them if they all became slurs. Lol

That would be perfect

Ukraine US proxies

not for much longer if trump has anything to do with it.

to be fair: men with privilege & bodies like that get to treat the whole world as their playground. lol

i was going to extol the virtues of making your own brownies; but now i won’t because i know i’m not as cool as the guy in this video. lol

btw: where is this video from?

beverly hills is like mexico city: they’ve both got a lot of americans in them right now thanks to money, but that will change with time when their original inhabitants re-surge and reclaim both places for themselves again. lol

i hope that my 17 year old car holds out a little bit longer so that I can get a chinese EV at 1/2 the price of the telsa and with 95% of the capability; i will no longer buy american cars.

who? nato or the russians?

i bet this is why they drumbeat and so heavily decry on “TERRORISTS!!!” to exclusion of any kind of reasonable arguments like: that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter; particularly when it comes to a genocide.

it’s a bit like the democrat’s decrying “TANKIES!!” to shut out all criticism that lost them the election; except decrying “TERRORISTS!!!” does win, unlike the democrats.

i wonder if it’s a sign of things to come from the foundation since they’re never going to be able to viably compete with the likes of google or microsoft.

also: the little panics if it shows who tried to reach you and it’s a ceo; so you wake yourself up; get out of bed; log in to your computer and see that it’s just an “lol”. 🤌

my ex-mother-in-law and my cousin.

my ex-mil is the tiniest meekest most submissive old fashion mexican woman that i’ve ever known; more so than my own grandmothers; but she recognized that her son was different (gay) when he was a toddler and she warned everyone that she knew that if they had a problem with her son, then they had a problem with her and to air their grievances now so she can know whom to cut out of her and her son’s life. (that’s a big deal for traditionalist mexicans like her family).

growing up, i winced a lot when i saw my aunts, uncles and cousins bully and beat the tar out of my cousin to “toughen the sissy out of him” and “beat the sugar out of his blood” because he was so flamboyantly gay. decades later; those same people fell upon extraordinarily hard times and my cousin took them all in. by doing so: he literally gave the same people who abused him so much that he had to ran away at 14 years old to protect himself from them and then turned around to give them a roof over their heads and food on the table for them when they asked.

i aspire to be both people; it think that they’re the best examples of humanity that i’ve seen with my own eyes.

one is a mania with a physical root cause while the other one isn’t.

i’ve learned that if you grease yourself up enough (VERY important that you’re greasy enough); you can just canon ball your way through. lol

watching my country’s original nature manifest itself so nakedly in examples like the election and this patch makes me wonder what else is going to come back into fashion and how much of it ever actually went away.

and knowing that at least half of my country’s voters would just “go with the flow” while the other half cheers on cheeto-mussolini tells me that i don’t want to know the answer to my question.

The internet is better with multiple services, multiple of many things. That’s how there is cooperation, compatibility and development for the better.

bluesky doesn’t help with this; all social media platforms financed by investors are going to enshitify no matter how much they say they won’t at the beginning. (reddit also said that they wouldn’t the the beginning too).

the inventors behind stories like bluesky and reddit are the same ones that are reducing the your choice of multiple services on multiple things because they have an incentive to kill progress when it’s competition that can challenge their profits and enshitify to squeeze out every last dollar before abandoning it themselves.

i’m glad that lol speak is still a thing; it’s nice giggle like child at a fascist’s expensive; no s(h)nark intended. 😉

(before you downvote me: know that i’m entitled to dad jokes since i’m at the appropriate age. lol)

i think that cock.li’s experience is common for volunteer organizations in the american government’s cross hairs and i forsee an expansion of something like this onto open source projects & platforms like lemmy in the future given some of the public manifestations we’ve seen in the news like the american’s governments geopolitical posturing forcing the linux kernel project maintainers to expel russian contributors.

the american’s governments restriction on open source projects like the linux kernel is a portent of what’s to come and the entire FOSS world is going to be split into 2 because of it and with the better financed half being undeniably under the government’s control, but its contributors will continue to call it “free and open sourced software” nonetheless due to having the most leverage (for now).

just horny and sex positive works too 😉

the fediverse is designed to guard against the same kind of enshitification that reddit went into by keeping the same discourse alive everywhere regardless whether you use mastodon or lemmy or any other social media platform.

social media tribalism guarantees eventual enshitification of some kind, so keeping your options open makes sense should you ever decide to set sail on the fediverse sea after the people on your platform island have burned it all down due to the local culture war they insisted on fighting until its pointless end.

i’ve been switching from one social media platform to another since the 1990’s because of enshitification and that’s taught me that the platforms with investors behind it enshitify the in the worse ways possible (eg reddit, facebook, bluesky, etc.). so i think that the fediverse has the biggest and likeliest chance to survive all enshitification because of how it’s designed to keep the discourse alive no matter how many power tripping mods or majority conversation shaping admins there are. (at least for now).
