How the monetization of content, even in cases where the content is good and I enjoy the creator, leads to a loss of freedoms online by contributing to laws and tools used to force other creators out of spaces and restrict access to content the was open and free in the past like archival sites. Contributing to a worsening of online services and experience for all over time. And as the generation that are early adopters we are doing a disservice to future generations by not shoring up the things that make being online great and instead allowing it to become a billboard like a NASCAR fender while “look how this bridge is created, like and subscribe” plays in the background

Can we be more oblivious to marketing teams. I hope we are more accepting of PR for various IP creating positive only encouraging spaces that will ensure any honest opinions get minced and purged. I would also enjoy seeing websites like buzzfeed using the place to repost questions every few months so they have new material to write another click bait article. Also college kids who buy bulk products off alibibi and create posts pretending like they discovered this cool new thing like a lamp that puts stars on your wall while providing all the electronic safety standards the back allays of Chinese factories offer. Is it not all our responsibility to ignore these corruption’s of our spaces and ask ‘wow that’s amazing, where can I buy it’ If threads can bring us this attention I say why not.

Why is it always sandwich’s. 20 years ago Bert Reynolds waterfall sandwiches was weird single serve website. We’ve come full circle people

Cool, so you guys told her how vaccines work and she totally listened and grew that day in both knowledge and as a person right?

I meant more like abstract business phrasing that is stuff like ‘aligns with lean principals’ or ‘improve efficiencies through cost driven metrics’ stuff that sounds like a high school essay written by a student adding as much fluff to every sentence and ending up with whole sentences that didn’t need to be said.

The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don’t want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I’d like to avoid it if possible

Ideally for me I’d like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net

I hope you are. Fuck that shit.

Would be cool to do some kind of thing online to let him know how we all appreciate him.

I just don’t know what that would look like. Does anyone have any suggestions?

He’s someone I think who will truly be appreciated when its to late. Like when we’re getting our amazon anal trackers inserted by our yearly google healthcare visit we’ll have a moment that we should have appreciated him morw

Lemmy has seen a big influx of this stuff.

Do you know how many grey beards have waited their entire lives to have a girl ask them what Linux is. You’ve made a lot of irc mods jealous tonight. Stack overflow responses are going to get super spicy for a couple days

Sorry, what?

I don’t think that’s right. Lots of mundane things get politicized by the right in a way that makes it very understandable to people who might not usually care why they should care. It’s why grandma knows about trans teachers but not right to repair. One side of culture doesn’t shy away from educating people or conflict while the other side hopes a cool thing takes off naturally in its own time ignoring how important it is to market ideas.

A problem with a lot of the cool stuff is that nobody weaponizes it but all the shitty stuff gets weaponized.
