  • The companies are already well stablished by the time they do that kind of shit, so unless they absolutely fuck something up, nothing is going to hurt sales a lot, specially if other companies follow them afterwards. Things like the jack removal are negative changes and at the time it was truly unpopular, but it wasn’t something for which iPhone or Samsung fans would just switch over to a different brand when they could just buy some new fancy bluetooth earbuds.

    Enshitification of stuff is always a gradual process, unless they are truly incompetent and absolute morons, you’ll never see a company fucking several aspects of their product at the same time because they know that by slowly introducing those changes, most people will eventually accept each and everyone of them.

    The free market theory will never work in practice if that’s what your comment is trying to imply






  • Israelis have lived in fear of terrorist attacks for too long

    And Gaza lived in fear of being bombed to the ground and murdered by the Israeli government for too long, while at the same time having all of their land stolen.

    And who’s land is it then? Third generation Israelis whose grandfathers just decided to take already occupied land? That’s a funny bit.

    I love how Israel is supposedly the victim all throughout their short history, yet, for some strange reason, they always gain something out of every conflict they, supposedly, get dragged into.

    Edit: plus, it’s stupid to think that the israeli government didn’t want this to happen. They knew that oppression would lead to a response, and that response would justify further attacks on Gaza until they gain full control. For countries like that, what’s a few of their citizens’ lives in exchange for power? The US taught them well in that regard.





  • If I were to end up doing it (too many things I would like to do, too little time), I’d do it foss. At most I’d paywall features that have an ongoing cost (like hosting or server costs), though I am a bigger fan of keeping things local. That way its simpler and also easier to trust.

    Personally, I think that paying for software isn’t a bad thing as long as the price is right and the licensing reasonable (I really hate unnecessary subscriptions). Devs (specially if working on complex stuff) got to eat too, and sometimes donations aren’t enough.



  • You are comparing Apples to oranges. While it may be true that Linux may have more software available, in my experience macOS has a shit ton of productivity software as well, and many times, due to being for-profit, of higher quality. That’s exactly why I’ve been thinking about giving my own try to making a launcher like Raycast for Linux.


  • A good change imo. Never made sense to me, both in desktop and mobile that DMs are located right with the server list. I don’t use it as much, but when I use it, it’s precisely for DMs, so I think it’s a change for the better. Some people complaining like they change every single part of the UI should touch some grass, sometimes change isn’t a bad thing.
