The technical term is “platform decay”. “Enshittification” is not the term to lead with if you want people not aware to take you seriously.

And this isn’t that.

Russian trolls just getting desperate at this point…

Fucking Pocket.

What manufacturer? Name and shame.

CarPlay I can see if there’s an ongoing cost of making sure future Apple updates don’t break compatibility, but it’s very highly unlikely that will ever be an issue.

People won’t switch from driving to cycling over this. They’ll just pick one of the several dozen other car manufacturers.

That reddit thread is a gem. Funniest shit I’ve seen on WSB in a while.

The lawsuits haven’t even started. This is very very bad for them.

“Biden wins the election. Here’s why that’s bad for Biden.”

RIP anything made of linen.

Bro has never owned a piece of clothing made of linen in his life.

This is the way.

How do you know if someone is a Linux user? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you. Lump them in with Vegans and Crossfitters.

Don’t normalize this shit.

Opposing viewpoints are fine. Disingenuous viewpoints that conveniently show the egregious fallacies of that viewpoint and ignore them when pointed out deserve all the criticism they get.

And we know what one specific viewpoint we’re talking about. Lemmy is so deeply infested with it now with the exact same bend that it’s a disgustingly obvious disinformation campaign and voter suppression tactic.

Again, don’t normalize this shit.

occasionally I’ll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn’t be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.

My dryer’s “energy saver” setting is just an hour on low with the moisture sensor reducing the time if needed.

You’re right. But, the Fediverse is ActivityPub, and Threads is using ActivityPub, therefore Threads is part of the Fediverse.

The beauty of the Fediverse is you can defederate from whoever you want. But don’t confuse that with thinking that you can change the definition and rules of what the Fediverse is.

They can’t bother you if you block them.

For example I just blocked the entire Linux lemmy.ml community 1 minute ago.

Greedy little pig boy

GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.

Note that I speak from experience as part of a company that needs to comply with the regulations. We do it because the risk of violation is 10000000% not worth it no matter how annoying and arduous it is to comply.

Your math is wrong. If the Celeron runs 65W at idle then it is consuming at minimum 1.56kWh a day, at a price of €0.20 per kWh you’re looking at a minimum operating cost of €113.88 a year.

You didn’t factor in that days have 24 hours, not one hour.

Since Twitter is now private, we’ll never know the real numbers, but the paper value of the Twitter brand itself being cast aside is a huge non-monetary loss.
