absolutely. Social media is a malign cancer of the web AND real life. I was there (3000 years ago) when the internet begun, it hurts so much to see how social media did spread the rot. As if the other rot by google and the majority of big tech wasn’t enough already.

Yeah the irony of us dissing social media…on Lemmy 😁

But I’d argue that capitalism is just the inevitable epitome of us rewarding the worst of us.

Even in socialism the dark triad gets further.

Altruism being advantageous in our early survival makes sense, yes. But, whatever the 4% always came up with in every period, won. Purely evolutionary speaking, it might even be better for survival nowadays than altruism would be.

Your point, that there always more basically good than evil people, might be true (and I wish it would be), but the world sucks in every place anywhere. Just to a different level. So it kinda means nothing when the 96% just watch or ignore the work of the 4%.

I’d argue that every kind of slavery literally destroys the slaves…kinda by definition :-( But yeah, this “job” is horrible. Especially if you don’t even know what will suddenly hit you after you applied for a seemingly harmless job.

Well put and yes, that’s sadly true. We just sit there and watched people seize control who should never have had ANY kind of control over anything in the first place. This species sadly highly rewards the psychological dark triad (or tetrad) so well, it hurts. The worst that humanity has to offer has the highest chance to lead it. Not even a question of sex or race or anything, it’s just us.

This world we create is so disgusting. Tech billionaires paying the least possible amount for “work” which borders slavery. And everyone seems to be OK with it.

Yeah but not mine sadly. G502 x plus wireless

Solaar only let’s me do DPI for mine. I have to set that fucker up in a VM with lghub and use onboard profile and input-remapper. Without mapping the extra buttons in lghub to something, inputremapper gave me nothing to work with)

So far I have not needed my scripts or macros yet, so that is a problem for later 😁

(G502 x plus lightningsomething btw).

Yes totally. They’re a company, they want to make money. Sure, fine. But if things stop being optional (or at least uninstallable like fucking onedrive) then I get pissed.

When I want AI, I start one. But in settings? In notepad? In my coffemachine and nutsack-warmer? Noooooo.

Even I, a long long long and ooooold ms-fanboy finally ditched win11 in fear of the copilot shit hole that’s coming.

And now I regret not having switched years earlier. Everything is a lot better now, and those things that are worse are just worse because companies hate Linux (looking at Logitech et al).

And when even I left windows (I do have every certificate from them, sold hundreds of thousands of licenses and whatnot) that tells something 😔 sadly so, I might add.

Long story short: fuck copilot.

possible, yes. But usually noone does those things for these smaller fringe devices that are not mainstream. So, it’s either do it yourself or be happy you unlocked a bootloader to…have an unlocked bootloader :) And with each iteration of android it became harder and more frustrating. Hence I’m done with android.

I love your optimism, you must be new to this 😁 But yeah sure, we could. I probably just grew bitter over the last decade of total enshittification

Aren’t the 5 yrs now mandatory in the EU? And unlocking the BL I can do on most phones. Doesn’t help a lot though unless you do it all yourself. So I’d still wonder if root will be possible. I like to own the devices I buy 😊

I do have two. One just for at home for all the banking and depot-apps that I would surely not carry around with me outside. And also because exactly those won’t run in an emulator.

Haha haha h haha h haha haha…but also: no. Of course not.

I’d eat one if they offer root options. Or a firmware. Or a major update. Or anything else beside a pricetag and the wish to never hear from you again.

Women rated taller male figures with a higher shoulder-to-hip ratio (indicating a more V-shaped body) and a larger penis as being more attractive, but only up to a point,

Out of pure scientific curiosity of the friend that wants to know this but not me: to WHAT point exactly? 😁

Seriously: what a stupid article…

Would it even matter anymore? It could be “we hate you, piss off! Amazon” and everyone would still shop there.

Exactly. The important people know how to reach me, all others simply aren’t.

Should’ve named it Y or Z. You know, like +1…

Absolutely this. Not many people understand this, especially not my gen (x) or older. Here they’re all pavlov’ed to open the door when it rings or answer the phone. I never do that.

Fair point…
