  • I'd say it's both.

    Not all writers are complacent with potboiling, but most of them are and it's what makes them average.

  • To be fair, white collar workers have become so lazy and incompetent, most of their jobs would be done better by AI.

    Charlie Kaufman had some good words to say about AI in screenwriting. Most movies released today could be written by AI and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

  • I don't think you know what firmware is.

  • You know what scares us about big tech? Planned obsolescence.

  • Right. It can't be that you're a proud consumer, because then you'd have to acknowledge your own contribution to the problem and criticize a culture you're dependent on.

    Can't have that.

  • Not really.

    Replace "often" with "exceedingly rarely" and you'd be more accurate, but then you can just be describing websites that don't work properly in general.

  • I figure similar to educating people on how burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming, it will just take time and experience to educate people on the value of decentralization.

  • How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announced

    Jump

  • My brother had to be convinced to get the vaccine.

    He's legitimately removed (I'm trying to say "re-tar-ded", but apparently it automatically saying "removed." Seriously? We're not allowed to say "re-tar-ded", a completely accurate medical term?) and had to go to a special school because of it.

    I think a lot of conservatives fall into this camp, but don't realize it because of how poor social programs are in red states.

  • Trust me. I've been along live enough to recognize that if people don't want to believe something, then they won't.

  • If anything, this should tell us the trolls won.

    Or at least have been more successful then they ever should have been.

  • Thankfully, phone updates are just a software problem. It's sad we've reached this point, but there's nothing really stopping us from updating phones like we update our computers.

    People need to collectively have higher standards if they want businesses to meet those standards.

  • You know what scares us about big tech? Planned obsolescence.

    Jump

  • That's not true. Businesses charge the most people are willing to pay.

    I'm sorry you've been convinced that lowering your standards resulted in cheaper prices. It did not. It only resulted in worse products for us and higher profits for businesses.

  • The only way I see to solve it is to force vendors to release hardware specs and unlock bootloaders so you can install your own software on it.

    Nah. Legislation to make it planned obsolescence illegal would be much more effective.

    Jump

  • Seriously. People need to realize they should have a need before a product, not the other way around.

  • That's because you're a proud consumer who doesn't realize how maximizing profit is the motivation for everything you've mentioned.

  • That's not true.

    All it takes are enough people getting burned by centralized products to see the value in decentralization.

    As businesses get greedier and run out of corners to cut, they will continue to cannibalize their userbase until it becomes irrelevant.

    I figure similar to educating people on how burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming, it will just take time and experience to educate people on the value of decentralization.

    The biggest hurdle is getting people to understand that they are wrong and don't know everything.

  • Bluesky is just for consumers who don't know any better. I've been alive long enough to notice that there are people who need to be "sold something" in order to see value in it.

    We should be promoting Mastodon which is federated.
