Is it a good ad? I‘ve no clue about the hot sauce market in 1998, but Tabasco‘s USP isn’t its hotness, it’s its vinegary flavour.

I wasn’t talking about myself. Empathy is not a techie’s forte.

no thank, I’m good

Most people can’t.

Ok I’m with you that only removing the bloatware is bad advice, but my point stands that many people don’t have any of these options. And I’d argue that getting spied on by ad agencies is better than being left behind at the digital divide.

All true, but most users don’t have the know-how or resources to change anything about their OS so they’re stuck with that, bad idea or not. Their alternative would be using no PC at all.

So most people shouldn’t be using PCs anymore, or…??

If your stupid gadget needs a separate proprietary app that demands internet access, anticipate that all data is shared for all kinds of shady business.

It‘s not really censorship, but comments of mine were deleted for less. Maybe not in this community, but I really can’t keep track who enforces which rules.

I’m sorry, why should they care? Burn down their data centers (in Minecraft).

Discord itself was a big step of enshittification from the very start when communities moved from individual platforms to Discord servers.

yep, the “fair” isn’t exclusive to the customer.

You’re welcome

CRTs don’t „have“ pixels, but they display a signal that originated from a pixelised source. Popping colors and different gamma curves is not a contradiction to what I said.

Pixels on a CRT aren‘t quadratic. Light bleeds between them, and persisted between frames. That was definitely some kind of post processing you could call masking and the games of that era leaned heavily into it. Hardware and games were designed to be displayed on a CRT.

Similar light? Go get some fresh air. It’s just a bunch of ads, the worst are avoidable if you don’t visit clickbait sites.

Well, every academic field needs creativity. But it’s nothing new that people from economic or tech bubbles have a disdain for humanities.

These morons really think AI is going to allow them to replace the technical folks.

This specific moron was actually talking about people with a humanities degree.

What does „vocational“ in this context mean? Manual labour?

What’s LD50 and LD99?
