I’m very wary of installing more extensions since I heard how many lucrative requests extension devs get from third parties for allowing them to enshittify their software.

I fear that part of the reason is that it isn’t big enough yet for AstroTurf interest groups to care enough to invest into it. Although maybe AstroTurfing isn’t included in the enshittification label?

For social media to work in the future I think there needs to be additional safeguards that keep enshittification at bay. But picking them will be a delicate art.

The problem with these rage inducing subreddits is that they seldom seem to propose or encourage any solution or alternative. So it ends up becoming a kind of circle jerk of learned helplessness.

It seems like a common internet thing. Rage bait and learned helplessness. We learn to accept that there’s nothing to do because people and politicians are idiots because “look at all this stuff”.

And often this aligns with advertising tech because it makes us engaged and seeking comfort of continued scrolling when we get a steady stream of anxiety injections. It’s low key like an abusive relationship.

There are two kinds of gamers. Rage gamers and anxiety gamers.

It does seem like a good diversion tactic to blame a completely unrelated minority for a completely unrelated problem when you really want to protect billionaires from raised taxes.

I mean just move the discussion as far away as possible from them.

Why don’t they eat cake fight amongst themselves?

Now I want a team based FPS game where classes are the economic classes.

And you can decide to revolt and switch around the teams to make it proletariat versus bourgeoisie. (The French sure have weird spelling btw)

What ever team that can hold the most strategic points/means of production long enough wins.

I mean that is a good reason to celebrate.

Seems quite dangerous in case of fire though.

What about AI to counteract chemical weapons?

Yeah, having to resort to downloading drivers from a super sketchy third party virus site is the windows experience.
