Starbuncle

I wouldn’t trust someone who tried to visualize hue like this to make that calculation correctly.

I think that you, might need to, brush up on, your English.

It’s not about where it is, it’s about where it’s going. Tech companies love the slow burn. Chrome kept getting progressively worse and now they’re at the point where they’re blocking ad blockers at the browser level. Windows got away with nags to use MS Office products and now they’re leaping into start page ads and integrated AI shit you can’t remove. Mozilla is starting to enshittify, just like MS and Google did all those years ago.

Yup. This isn’t an anti-piracy thing, it’s a fuck-over-people-who-don’t-like-google thing.

They functionally are. They are compelled to comply under the threat of violence.

Unusably laggy no matter what instance you use.

It’s easy on Reddit because they have their own username generator when you sign up, but the usernames being used here are very telling. Random letters is literally the absolute bare minimum effort for randomly generating usernames. A competent software engineer could make something substantially better in an afternoon and I feel like an adversarial nation-state would be using something like a small language model trained solely on large lists of scraped usernames.

I think that any operating system that mostly runs 3rd party software should be legally required to open-source at least the components necessary to run said 3rd party software. Also, OSes should just straight up not be allowed to show ads, full-stop. Making people buy hardware and then bloating the OS with ads in updates is a bait and switch and if our government had any balls, would be illegal.

The first time yeah, but I tried it again on another instance and it was better (at least it didn’t fail to load half the time), but still super slow. The 2nd time is what I was talking about.

All the people involved in MURDERING this poor girl (in order of degrees of separation):

• The Texan legislators that banned abortion
• The supreme court justices that overturned Roe v Wade
• Donald Trump, for packing the supreme court and enabling them to overturn Roe v Wade
• Every American voter who knew exactly what they were voting for
