Sometimes they’ll even show a screenshot of an ad from the 80s or 90s, excitingly pointing at their five seconds of Googling like a child Sherlock Holmes telling mommy and daddy they discovered who wiped boogers on little Jessica’s back. These posts are reductive, shortsighted, and don’t take into account the full picture.
Funny enough this ended up being projection for the entire rest of the article.
The article is a PR puff piece. What Andy said made absolutely zero sense at the time, and even more so now. “…tables have completely turned.” Sir, the table is round and covered in shit. Always has been.
Just want to say this it sucks that you’re experiencing issues with something that should be so easy, always frustrating when something like that happens. Can assure you it’s not an issue with Mint though, hopefully this doesn’t put you off from using such a great distro.
Because of Atomic right?
XFCE 4.20 blaze it 🔥
Sumguyonline keeping things real for the masses
Linux Mint is terrific, also recommend it to new Linux users. I just want things easy, clean, and fast. Also, fuck Microsoft.
Debian + KDE
The billionaires have won, we are not getting the implementation of AI that helps us the most until we FIGHT the class war.
They are fucking losers, saved you a click.
Yeah totally buy in with the guy that cratered Intel’s volume, he seems trustworthy.
I took a shit, it’s growing sentient and could surpass almost all humans at almost anything by 2027.
Keeping it brief but drilling down a level deeper, enshittification results in an increase in short-term profits which is a positive for publicly traded companies who are legally obligated to increase profits or risk litigation by shareholders. The vast majority of consumers, once in an “ecosystem” of a product (social media is a great example here) will not leave the ecosystem due to the mild inconvenience of leaving. The profit lost by the very few who have the wherewithal to leave the ecosystem is made up for by those short term profit gains.
It’s a cycle that continues on and on, sometimes saved by vast changes by the company to reel in those “lost” consumers. Or sometimes the company messes up so bad that they never return to their pre-enshittification days.
As long as companies have a duty to shareholders to increase profits at all costs, we will always see enshittification. This is a feature, not a bug, of capitalism.
Enshittification is a result of capitalism…in which venture capital plays a huge part. So…
That’s fair, it’s important in some ways to conceal the hand a bit. We have to make to make the rich as uncomfortable as we are though.
We did prioritize non-violent ones, and this is where it got us. The ONLY option is violence.
Long term support will keep going and going and going…
Lololol what a PR stunt, and all the NPC’s gobbled it up.
Damnit, same thing here.
It’s almost like they don’t know what they’re doing.
