Hellblade 2 is coming.

Edit: The atmosphere in the first 10-30 minutes of Hellblade is absolutely stunning. I haven’t played through it yet though. I think I’m afraid that it will be a disappointment and that the initial experience, which really is amazing, will be ruined.

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.

Voting might ensure that the situation might not get worse. You need to change the voting system to actually make a meaningful difference.

Edit: wtf are the downvotes for?

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.

Shouldn’t the flag be revealed in the last pane for it to work?

Hi

More like content farming right?

What software stack do you use for this?

It’s just a reference to trade unions

I’m sure stranger things have happened in irl lore. Pirate Party (pp) comes to mind.

Unions could fix that

They’re happy most of the time.

It’s nice to have a sort of diary sometimes. My only practical application has been to sometimes check which times I arrive to and leave from work when I need to report my hours.

I mean I’ve seen some weird workarounds when stuff isn’t loading in when they’re supposed to…

But yeah this is probably not that.

Except it feels like when republicans gain power we move three steps closer to ww3.

It’s an interesting point that would be nice to see addressed more in anti-superhero fiction, like The Boys. They addressed this problem to some extent with the Rorschach depiction in the Watchmen TV series.

Feels like Rick and Morty has had the same issue with people idolizing Rick. They have addressed it to some degree by showing how Rick’s bad qualities also make him miserable etc.

Only the super rich disagree with you.

An even less popular opinion: if you care enough about climate change to not have children you should have children. The alternative is that only people who don’t care about climate change will have children.

Anyways, the fertility rate has dropped very quickly all over the developed world and the world is turning developed quickly. I’m not saying that will solve climate change but it looks like overpopulation is at least going to be solved.

That is hardly an unpopular opinion.
