I’m keeping that one.
“purchasing new builds”
Hahahhahahahha… Yeah because us Millenials and GenZ are buying new builds. Not 1970’s Vancouver specials that need new windows and furnaces because that’s the best our wages will support with mortgage approval rules.
Pffffft.
100% Government is for the people; not the corporations.
I will throw my vote behind any politician that aimed to remove a corporations ability to act as a person, and a corporations ability to lobby. With those two checkboxes there stands a chance of the people unravelling this web of nonsense.
I wish the NDP had that pull on the Liberals, but most of the policies the NDP managed to push through this year were because they agreed to support the Liberals with their policies.
I’m going to email my NDP MP and see where they actually stand on this.
Problem as has been seen in the US, is you cannot control what corn pollinates your corn. So if your neighbour buys Monsanto, their patented genes end up in the offspring of your crops, and your seeds become subject to patent even if you’ve never used Monsanto. And then their lawyers come for you as they have done to numerous small time farmers in the US.
Oh good, let’s copy more of the US Capitalist corporate bullshit.
Is this the Monsanto government?
Now they mostly just incubate capitalism and behave like a business.
Know what’s even more opt in? An official extension. Installed only if someone wants it.
I switched to LibreWolf and Mull a few months ago in preparation for this. I’ll come back to Firefox if the investors pull their collective heads from their asses.
This deadline they gave their users without announcing it that just passed comes to mind.

Guarantee they give zero shits about anyone’s copyright messages on comment on the 'verse. More tightly they integrate and the more this just becomes Facebook all over again

This is also represented pretty well in Pantheon.
“Why the internet isn’t fun anymore” - proceeds to talk about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
Completely fails to mention any fediverse sites, or any of the millions of other sites out there.
If you’re the author, the internet isn’t fun anymore because you don’t use it. You visit the corporate websites only. You either never learned how to use the internet, or you’re not interested in actually trying.
Its like the person who never leaves their neighborhood and complains that life is boring.
I wont lie, it hurt to shut The Den of Amateur Writing down. That place was a product of the heart. So many good memories.
As I get older I find my heels and arches just hurt randomly walking on hard flooring, and carpets get gross. The solution for me is a pair of sketchers I reserve for indoor use.
The rate at which the results got worse has a notable pattern in line with their drive for ad revenue. Most of the results are garbage because they are driven by money rather than user choice and popularity. The more money you pour into tuning SEO and Google Ads the higher you rank. To hell with relevance or what users actually want.
I ran a web community for writers from 1997 onward, and threw in the towel this year. The site had a core following but we relied on a steady trickle of new users from organic search and word of mouth to stay afloat. And little by little no matter how much time I put into SEO and the site we continued to slide due to a combination of seo rank and google just removing pages without explanation or reason. After spending the last 5 years rebuilding the site for SEO and mobile optimization, I watched google index 99% of the sitemap, our rank come back up slightly, new users starting to come in… And then it just… Stopped. I went to check the indexing, and google had silently moved all the indexed pages back to “crawled but not indexed” for no bloody reason. Zero errors, codes or messages.
I threw in the towel. The site was costing me nearly $500usd a month to operate and I could not throw a dime at ads. I had tried getting ad revenue on the site a few years back even though I did not want ads on the site and it looked promising… I got 90% of the way to covering monthly costs, but before the first cheque was cut google banned me from that service with no explanation. I followed every rule, discouraged regular members from clicking ads unless they really wanted to see the thing the ad was showing. Still got banned. And google just doesn’t even care to explain themselves.
I closed the site in January because I realized the internet I fell in love with, the one I created that community for… Its dead. Killed by capitalism.
Might be for the best. I can throw my coding time at open-source projects now. Just need to find one that entices me.
I… Did not realize this. Uninstalling.
Is it me, or does “Photon Chip” sound a lot like an isolinear chip?
Cripes this guy is next dumpster fire.
It does look like her but it’s hard to tell.
