@machinesbleedtoo yikes!

I think it's bad that #Google really #enshittifies #Android for no valid reason...

Oddly tempted to try to switch to #Vim (realistically @neovim ) again for code editing. And switching on vim mode in @silverbulletmd

Trigger: the realization that anything not purely open source (like VS Code) eventually #enshittifies

Privatization is a stupid idea (and destroys economies)

"Private equity bought this company and destroyed it... Private equity bought that industry and destroyed it..." You're probably sick of hearing this. Maybe you're wondering what it means. Here's the TLDR: people with more money than they could ever spend, using it to buy successful businesses and destroy them in a way that leaves the buyers with even more more money than they could ever spend. #PrivateEquity #enshittifies everything it touches. They don't care, they just want more money.

Hi!

Are you viewing this account through #Bluesky?

If so, you need to know that this account does NOT consent to being brought inside Jack’s new walled garden.

You know, the one that’s been paid for by some jerk who bought Jack’s old walled garden and turned the dying Spaces into toxic waste?

VC is the engine that #enshittifies the Internet. His BS site will follow that path soon.

Noninteroperabilty is tar that traps users. If BS wants to access #Fedi, it should be on #ActivityPub.

Mastodon.lol will shut down on May 9, 2023, 3 months from today. Information on how to migrate to a different server: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ I'm not doing this anymore. It's not worth it. Personal attacks calling me of all people a Nazi, a TERF, an antisemite... Congrats on destroying something I cared so deeply about. I hope you're happy. One last message before anyone tries to further assassinate my character: Fuck Nazis. Fuck TERFs. J.K. Rowling can die in a fire for all I care.
