  • US not afraid of escalation from Russia over events in Kursk Oblast

    Jump

  • I just hope Ukraine knows what it is doing, as it's calling the bluff of a nuclear power. I don't think Russia will nuke with anything big, but they might give the go ahead for small scale tactical nukes. Then again, Russia was already training for their use, so nothing lost and this means that if they use them, they might have to use it within their own territory and assume those repercussions. Best case, corruption has already disarmed any possibility of using them.

  • Pro-Palestine demonstrators accused of antisemitism after protesting outside Fiddler on the Roof

  • My definition of truth tries to be objective, not subjective to wanting to dismiss something because Corporate media pushes it.

  • It's an uneven distribution, like the post demonstrates.

  • First Tesla Cybertruck Crash Kills Driver In Baytown Area, Electric Pick-up Bursts Into Flames

  • The driver was too high-poly to survive the collision.

  • Both are true, so why do you seem to suggest they are mutually exclusive?

  • Pro-Palestine demonstrators accused of antisemitism after protesting outside Fiddler on the Roof

    Jump

  • Because the play involved Jewish protagonists even though it had nothing to do with Israel or Palestine? That's the point.

    Pro-Palestinian protests are justified, but when they do things like this or things like defacing the statue of Anne Frank, they are clearly being appropriated by those who say Zionism so they can avoid the antisemitism label.

  • I think it would be disingenuous to claim there aren't a lot of antisemites involved in Pro-Palestinian protests.

  • I still stand by what I said and only add an addendum, all companies enshittify themselves eventually or cease to exist before it happens.

    In your counterexample, the problem is that the founders eventually die, and then the time comes for that company to be passed down, and then you are just proving my point. Even stores like LTT Store and GamersNexus' will eventually enshittify themselves or cease to exist, because they will eventually have to pass ownership and even their owners will feel some remorse if they vanish it into the void instead of leaving it off for their family to inherit.

    If it's a small localized family business, it can exist for longer without compromising itself because it will not receive as much pressure and the services it has to concern itself are much more limited, but otherwise and even then, enshittification is as avoidable as death.

  • The dumbass does not have an original idea or vision in his body. After turning his users into consumer goods, now he's just thinking about reddit r/lounge 2.0 and combining it with reddit awards 2.0 and reddit talk 2.0.

    First of all, that only works if moderators get payed or you get some extremely gullible and power hungry ones, which for the first I doubt his money scrounging self could allow and for the second, that's the problem.

    It will also open up a whole can of worms that reddit certainly has deserved for some time now, people suing if they are banned from these communities, specially if it was due to personal fickle prerogative of one of the mods. But considering what reddit has gotten away with, this last point is not really that likely.

  • The transphobia rocking olympic boxing has a Kremlin connection

    Jump

  • I think we can just assume by now that, if there's any chance there's would be some momentum behind a protest that could be disruptive to our society, the Kremlin troll factories are going to do their best to rile them up. I suspect things like the fascist protests in the UK and the trucker protests throughout Europe to have been heavily promoted by them to try to weaken and sow dissent in our cultures, Kremlin & China have troll factories churning for this sort of thing 24/7. In Spanish speaking social networks, the push to shove propaganda supporting Maduro in Venezuela has been unreal.

  • Putin calls for international scheme promoting 'Russian values'

    Jump

  • So ... propaganda? I guess he really wants to push those troll factories to their limit.

  • All companies enshittify themselves eventually, and the fact that those that were trying to fight it within the company were still getting shit on from within and from outside the company only hastened its fall by just removing them as a deciding factor through sheer pressure. Google really isn't as dystopian as people put it as - for one, it's too incompetent at starting and sticking to new ventures.

    As it continues falling and eventually the traditional competitors overtake it, I think it will become apparent what a truly dystopian megacorporation actually is before Google completely becomes anything remotely close to it - Microsoft would have reached that line if they had successfully been able to sneak in Recall. DuckDuckGo fell when Bing did, smoke and mirrors... Google is pretty bad right now, just not what I would call a dystopic megacorp.

  • You're welcome

    Jump

  • If a president can do that, there's something wrong with the way your government is set up. I disagree, it affects personality cults the most and if it's about the issues that you care about, there should be no shortage of candidates. This is someone you are electing to lead your country for four years. I would concede that it does depend on the severity of the crime.

  • But there is an alternative, search engines that say that are independent but then come crashing down when Bing goes down, which belongs to another convicted yet still existing monopoly.

    Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

    Jump

  • This shit is so absurd. I've had to replace several mouses because of the scroll wheel, until I began opening and saw that it was basically programmed obsolescence that was easy to fix. Logitech has seen how rampant programmed obsolescence is in cheap mouses and is basically taking advantage of it.

  • JD Vance calls Trump ‘morally reprehensible’ in resurfaced emails

    Jump

  • What I'd really like to know is if JD Vance would do something unconstitutional for Trump. If he wouldn't, and that could be the case since the man is just clearly an act, then you know what, he could be the best running mate for Trump because of how much he will eventually undermine him.

    But I sort of feel that he will eventually get replaced by someone far, far worse, probably someone like Tucker Carlson. They will also wait to do it closer to the election, and I think it's why they might be projecting so much against Biden changing to Harris, they want to make the possibility impossible to oppose or at least make it so that it attracts controversy so that it is more difficult to make an issue of the many skeletons Tucker Carlson has in his closet. It's clear that Tucker Carlson has been getting pampered for a position of power in the US for quite a while.
