Good to know there’s still enough sane people left to make an effort like this.

Alternatively, we could take money away cars and put it towards public transit infrastructure

We really need more browser engines floating around.

As of now we really only have 3, Webkit, Firefox Gecko, and Chromium Blink.

Everything is based on these 3. And I know, technically chromium and firefox are both based on webkit, but they’re so far gone from webkit they function as their own engines.

Okay, next plan is to start buying non-windows keyboards.

This is a band-aid solution to a problem caused by a larger issue.

Since in the US driving is an implied requirement for transportation, the barrier to entry for driving a car is absurdly low.

This is a bad solution to a bad problem caused by decades of bad decisions.

Yes, except If cake were free and accessible to anyone regardless of silverware or plates.

The cracks have been forming for a while now.

The big megacorps have been infighting. We’ve been seeing the signs of their implosion from miles away.

Now we see even Titans bleed. Nothing can stop the collapse now.

The question is what will emerge from the ashes?

Now it’s time for the xXx_Hyperloop_xXx, which will definitely, 100%, pinky promise, we swear, fix traffic congestion.

Yeah, posts are admittedly pretty samey. And While “Reposts are part of our religion” etc. etc.

Its like the 3 or 4 same articles and memes.

Communities moderated by Morals rather than Profit will always be better.

I mean it will help Lemmy. But It certainly will result in more EEE attempts on the fediverse.

Falling short of growth means their going to take aggressive action.

This is typical traded-company bullshit. You have to reach quarterly projections. Even if you’re in the black, if you don’t reach the projection the shareholders will react accordingly.

So, to avoid missing their next quarter, they will enshittify to meet shareholder demands. And it may work, for a while. But it will continually drain their userbase to nothing.

This will trigger an enshittification cycle.

• 1. Underperformance per-quarter resulting in anti-user actions to increase profits.
• 2. Users leave because of anti-user actions.
• 3. Profits will decrease as users leave until the end of quarter.
• 4. Return to Step 1.

They are, however, winning the race to make more gas guzzling profit generators that destroy this planet for the benefit of their shareholders.

Well the issue with Usenet is the following:

• Usenet is quite old
• Usenet is not very well known.
• Usenet has many barriers to entry.
• Usenet groups have garnered an exclusionary reputation.
• Other easier options have existed for a long time for basic social media interaction.

Except for a missed opportunity to push for users to jump ship to a Mastodon instance.

Solution:

No more Private Jets or Yachts.

Transportation Infrastructure Overhaul to transition away from cars and diversify to a set of electric or non-fuel forms of transportation (Lightrail, Train, Electric Busses, Bikes, Lamborfeeties.)

But to do the latter we’d have to go on a major guerilla marketing campaign to undo decades of car company propaganda.

And for the former we’d basically have to perform a miracle.

Legit have had conversations with people where they position themselves as superior because they use “the same password” but with an @ instead of an a, or an extra 0 at the end.

Password Managers are really the best solution to using 1 password everywhere without actually putting yourself at risk. 1 password, to unlock the manager, that lets you copy/paste logins.

But nope 99% of all bullshit I experience in my friends and family is “but thats too complicated” or “thats too hard” when its 200% fucking not.

I’m calling them out. These are shit excuses for what their real issue is which is “i don’t wanna change my habits” which is just childish and ignorant.

Even if its easier, even if its safer. If its different, then they don’t want to even try it.

There are some people who will have “always used” a spoon to dig holes, and if you showed them a shovel, they’d complain that it’s too hard or too complex, and go back to using the spoon.
