Supposedly, I am a human, who does very human things.
In that individuals can be, and that its very difficult to actually do a broad search because content that might exist in one might not exist in another, and that the types of people to run them often dont want search engines indexing them
Firefox then
Whoo it is chained by googles search engine deal
This is some serious self eating idealist talk here.
In life you must realize there are many situations where you think about the context and consequences of your choices, and you choose the closest to viable option.
Firefox is that.
It sucks that there is that google deal, but ultimately the world effects of firefox dying are wide reaching despite its diminishing numbers and so much greater than so many casually Mozilla doomer takes realize.
Its interesting to me that your argument is that things completely different to what you are saying is the primary reason you lost, is why she lost but are trying to poorly link them together.
It can’t be both. Either its the change or its the genocide, and its obviously not the latter because the other party is worse.
Even then, your reasoning falls apart because you are refusing to acknoledge that instead people didn’t turn out for harris when they did turn out in normal numbers for trump. For republicans they fall in line, for democrats they fall in love.
Sure there are people who didnt vote for her because her intersectionality of a black Indian woman but that isn’t what lost her election no matter how hard to try to spin your cope.
Just because you want something to be cope as a cheap dismissal doesnt mean it is.
But also like they did historic (up til Trump ofc) expansions in ICE, were deregulating industry,
This is to appeal to the morons they lost to.
deregulating industry,
What??? Biden was in so many ways better at regulating industry than other presidents. Lina Khan did work.
refused to make his campaign policies materialize like single payer healthcare
In what alternate universe did you hear him make that promise?
and ran cover for genocide
Yup, but people do have to remember the alternative we have now is literally worse on this in every conceivable way. Also, I feel fairly confident in my assumption mossad has the best blackmail in the world… The things israel gets away with…
and it was one of the most substantive reasons Trump is now in power.
This is utterly nonsensical. People who are not brain dead did not see trump, who wants the palestinians all to die, very publicly, and think “well joe is still bad, so lets think worse”. That would be a brain rot psyop level of non thought.
I think democrats lost because people were racist and sexist, people didn’t feel spoken too by someone with charisma (partially tied to the first, but also shes literally an EX DA…), the world has been seeing a bad shift in key metrics, and people who don’t pay attention just blame that on whoever is currently in power.
There were probably more, but I think those are the key ones and think the idea that palestine is what made kamela lose is something that people who only pretend to care say.
Is society so broken that we unintentionally produce these kinds of monsters or are some people just inherently born evil?
Unintentionally? Brother there are like a dozen rich white right wing billionaires who have made this their lives purpose. There have been organizations like them for … basically forever with all different sorts of dynamics.
They are very intentionally being created, and of course some people grow up without empathy for those different for them, or without any at all.
They were stabbed by 50% of people going through life not giving a shit about anything, then 30% of the remaining 100 actively wanting to harm others as their primary purpose in life.
You see it in the poll numbers.
Its why republicans consistently get 30% and democrats fluctuate based on vibes maaan.
You also see it in how people act when witnessing someone being abused, where most just want to turn away and pretend its none of their business even when they are in a position to do something meaningful.
Also, I don’t see locking data from search engines as a bad thing. The fediverse isn’t search engine searchable either
The fediverse not being searchable is one of the biggest flaws with it, and make it similarly ephemeral to Discord, except its actually worse because the sizes of communities are just in that goldilocks area of awfulness where there are echo chambers, and people are rude and toxic. Whatsmore, availability due to the small size is relatively mediocre.
However, it’s free and they have to support it somehow.
These arguments might just give me an aneurysm.
This has let so many horrible free to play games off the hook while they literally make billions in profits and have astounding profit margins.
Discord makes money.
In a non hyper greed infested world, they could simply coast at the level of wealth they are at now, still making free money for their investors, paying their workers, and improving the service, without making peoples lives shittier.
There is no reason to justify this shit.
Have you not seen the world? Everything, no matter how horrific, can always get infinitely worse.
The PIF could buy it and ban gay people. Israel could buy it and persecute people against genocide. A rich right wing billionaire could buy it and force even more nazi memes upon the youth. They could make a monetized limit to how many servers one can join that is purposefully below any sane reasonable or normal level. They could make PMs pay per message.
There are infinite ways it can get worse. Infinite.
A great problem of our society is there being too many problems to have any group of people focus on enough to get any of them solved.
If every issue has just 2% of people caring about it, companies can easily just write those 2% off and do business as usual.
This is why to not have an enshitifed world it has to be top down, and people have to participate in politics logically as opposed to based on which groups of people they hate.
The basic maths of it just doesn’t work for any sort of bottom up action.
It would have to be a relative time of quiet and one company sticking out like a sore thumb for long enough for them to be damaged.
You have seen how rapidly things are getting worse.
There is not going to be that happening, and even if there were, it wouldn’t be enough as there are thousands more issues.
Your troll shtick doesn’t work once its revealed you’re a troll. You no longer enrage, you just look foolish.
I think you are pretty much agreeing with my message.
Of course, it would be better if they didn’t, but can you really blame them when the system is stacked against us?
Yes, specifically when they use even a tiny bit of that little free time to beat down others who actually try, or when they don’t pay attention to the only ways they could possibly lessen the awful situation.
You personalized this beyond all reason. There was no malicious reading just someone trying to understand what you where trying to say.
Oh right, thats where the “You are worried someone is going to take this comment personally, get hurt, and then run to their corporate overlords” comes from. From you not being malicious at all.
Apparently, I was dead on
You are obviously a troll at this point. Obviously being completely wrong in every conceivable way confirms you were actually right…
Calling someone a bootlicker for telling people that solidarity is better than inner class fighting is so absurd you being a troll is the only logical conclusion.
Given you have another comment that goes like this::
I made statements, you can choose to do whatever you want with them. Trying to simplify this into good and bad is definitely a failing on your part.
I have spent decades studying this stuff so my perspective will be informed and wildly different than yours. That is okay.
I was raised Republican, became a Democrat, and now I vote Independent based on policy not feelings. I am very aware how all sides think.
I think its pretty much confirmed you are indeed a troll.
vote Independent based on policy not feelings.
Lol
As is almost all the case when people say they don’t want “politics” in things. Politics just means whatever they don’t like/find valuable.
In our world of people dismissing any issue that isn’t their own, nothing matters, and only the worst people win.
If people didn’t leave before this, this or that group getting pissed off won’t be the death of it then either.
We don’t need everyone to care about everything, but the current paradigm of not only apathy, but actively fighting against other peoples causes because they aren’t your own has really doomed us.
What in the literal fuck are you on about. You are worried someone is going to take this comment personally, get hurt, and then run to their corporate overlo
No. What the fuck are you on about.
Your malicious read of my pretty clear comment is so obviously absurd its like Im talking to a rage bait ai bot…
Their comment placed blame on people for simply existing in a world that is increasingly enshitified by subscriptions and my comment clearly was aimed at reaiming that blame at who deserves it rather than fighting people in the same class as you.
I think you are taking this in perhaps the most bizarre way possible.
Says the person doing mental gymnastics to read the comment in a nonsensical way so they can be toxic about it.
Future? Bitch, the present is well done as it is
It is really crazy that this weird china apologism is so common here.
Its the type of shit you’d expect to see more on reddit, but instead its on lemmy way more.
Not even close. You live in a tremendous bubble.
The first absolutely. The second not at all.
You starting off with some identity politics nonsense claim just means I dont care to fully respond to the rest of this. Its also old, because so many people on this site are clearly insufferable, bots or so idealistic they flip around to actually fighting against the causes they pretend to care about due to purity testing.
