freebee, to memes in I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.

Many leading shittifiers don’t match your explanation. Google, the owner of YouTube, is not a small start-up VC toy.

freebee, to linux in Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS

It’s small, but growing very fast. While actual PC has stagnated, no?

freebee, to fuck_cars in Ministers prioritised driving in England partly due to conspiracy theories

Godspeed.

freebee, to asklemmy in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

It starts with something silly like an avatar or profile pic next to every comment. If you’ld have had a flag or a dogpic or so next to your name/comment, I wouldn’t have read your comment in the same relatively neutral way. I dislike the persona stuff, it’s why I prefer forums. Lemmy is a collection of forums to me. I profoundly distrust persona cult stuff, like influencers etc. Sure, I’ll encounter same people here I’m sure, but frankly: I’m mostly unaware, usernames barely register in my mind.

The part about social media I dislike is the real connection between Irl and online, and the “profile”-focus, for now both is no issue for me on lemmy.

It does still happen. Even in new projects. It happened in Britain on their big COVID19.xls sheet

True, but unless still using .xls instead of .xlsx chances of reaching the row limit on a sheet became rather small, even for very large companies. Many issues with the everything in excel hell, but the row limit isn’t a main one (anymore).

Could be they don’t.

freebee, to memes in Japan is living in the future that the 1990s dreamed of.

The people insisting on using cash are the ones with a big pile of it, with origin dubious to unknown. Anti tax evasion is the best part of digital banking. Threats to privacy is the other side of that coin unfortunately…

freebee, to fuck_cars in Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians

why beep when it can be a voice yelling WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! or ACHTUUUUNG!! if it’s a German made car

freebee, to fuck_cars in Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians

forcing a “this vehicles kills pedestrian” warning on top, making it similar to sigarettes: all same boring packaging and a warning on top.

freebee, to memes in You just kind of get numb and accept it after a while

It’s not impossible, but it can be hard. A job offers some obligated (often real life) social interaction. Might be annoying sometimes, but none at all isn’t healthy either. Many people really aren’t capable of setting goals for themselves, having their own business or networks etc. Most jobs offer more than money to an employee, the employee might not realise it themselves.

It’s fun for the first few months. Catch up on games movies etc. Gets boring after a few months, most people need goals in life and find it hard to set them for themselves…

freebee, to memes in If you're feeling left out it's probably because you defend billionaires who would mince you into fertilizer

Public capital. The smartphone is the culmination point of billions and billions of government “aimless” r&d for half a century.

All the generally established capitalist wiggleroom like minimum wages, paid holiday, affordable health care, education instead of manual labour for children etc were established by massive strikes and (threats of) violent masses.

freebee, to memes in Therapy's getting too expensive

One might actually choose the slightly more expensive fair trade t-shirt after such a conversation?
