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

Yep, it’s mostly that. Like a movie/show/anime protagonist narrating their reasonings and thoughts to the watchers, except there are no watchers and you are just talking to your inner self.

I prefer that approach. We work with smaller tasks, so it makea more sense, plus it helps keep the master clean and if you want a more detailed view of the specific commits, you just have to click on the link to the PR. It’s a better way to organise it IMO

Sounds like a close story to what happened in Spain. Fascists failing to get majority despite their best efforts will never stop being amusing.

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.

Now that I think about it, it’s probably more akin to breaking someone’s legs, though without the pain (unless whoever makes the cut really botches it)

I am speaking of the regular ioniq 5 here (which is still expensive as fuck), but I also hate how they have to strap every little shitty tech like Tesla just to try to both one-up them in terms of “wow, look how cool this [completely useless garbage] is” and to turn something that already worked (like the mirrors turning into fucking cameras) and was fairly simple into something that is fucking expensive and harder to repair.

I mean, my comparison was more aimed towards the fact that they lose a shit ton of mobility for a reason that, if anything, shows your lack of ability to care for a bird. Also, while the feathers do indeed grow unlike human legs (and excluding prothesis), that doesn’t mean the owners will stop clipping them, plus, depending on when they started doing it, the bird may not even know how to fly and may not do it even if they are fully grown unless taught.

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.

Same as bird clipping. It’s a bird, I understand that there are some risks for flying animals, but why would you want a bird in the first place if you are going to cut its main mobility tool. Would you amputate one of your newborn’s legs so it has less risk of wandering around and being hit by a car?

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.

I wish list interesting games

And that’s how I got to 400-something wishlisted games

I’d wish for a Steam Deck, but what I need more (and will probably buy) is a nice backpack.

You got it backwards. He meant that it’s the same as selling lemonade while trying to pass it as Sprite because of the branding.

Aside from the “human shield” somebody else said, it also serves as a reference to a headline I read not long ago where, in the same headline, they were referring to Israeli children as children while for Palestine they were just “people under 18”.

Welp, there goes my willingness to move to the Netherlands.

They are about to discover that “small government” ends up being “big corpo”

That’s interesting. With how many of them there are and knowing that many species eat them, I would have expected that at least some of them would suffer in some way.
