If I had to choose one I’d choose one of the ones that’s already going extinct so I could disrupt as few ecosystems as possible
Alternately, is there an invasive species that harms the ecosystems it invades and doesn’t have a non-invasive counterpart? Maybe domesticated cats?
We also experienced an initial explosion followed by a major drop and then steady growth. It’s healthy growth because it shows we’re keeping genuine daily users to compete with natural user churn.

I think that most core frameworks put a ton of effort into backwards compatibility. Maintainers of smaller libraries and glue packages, however…
Worker ownership of tech firms
That’s $385 for every person on earth
That last one is really common. If people can ambiently hang out and form community in a space, it tends to be an unprofitable use of those spaces, so they keep disappearing.
I think you are correct. I didn’t know the exact numbers but I was aware of general reasoning. The economic forces that push unethical design decisions range from mildly annoying to horrifying depending on which decision you’re talking about. Facebook using A/B testing with neural imaging tech to minimize users’ opportunities to disengage from the platform is probably on the more extreme end. Regardless, I don’t think the decisions being objectively correct when optimizing for the continuation of capitalist firms makes them any less morally onerous.
I have held a vendetta against YouTube Premium for nearly a decade. I will never use it. I don’t give a shit how cheap it is or how many features they take away. I will stop watching YouTube entirely before I pay a single cent for Premium.
You used to be able to lock your phone on iOS and continue listening to YouTube. I always had audio playing, but I was still connected to my environment. They took that away just so they could add it back in as a feature in Premium. Maybe it seems overly petty to be this upset about it 9 years later, but I don’t care. I’m a treat addict and they fucked with the product. I let go of most things when it comes to enshitification because the alternative is to drive yourself mad. But this is a hill I will die on every time forever.
Fuck YouTube Premium.
You have ADHD? Because this is a pretty common thing for people with ADHD. Resting opens you up to getting locked in by executive dysfunction, but keeping busy and being able to bounce between things that you’re motivated to do lets you hyperfocus through a bunch of shit.
I really can’t stress enough that schools enforcing dress codes isn’t related to counter-terrorism just because the girls were Muslim

Whether or not the eye roll is justified is in question when the quote is supposed to emblematic of the admin’s opinions of the instance. Some of our staunchest detractors can admin that “kill slave owners” is not hate speech because “slave owner” is not a protected class. Do you think dismissal of this logic is so outlandish that it must be emblematic of support for our instance? Because I don’t see any other reason to include it.
Tigran Hamasyan (Armenian piano jazz-metal)
The Gabriel Construct (self-described as art music iirc, but basically just some experimental rock)
Jaggery (avant-rock, cool harp sounds)
Noah Sias (deathcore? Just so fucking heavy idk)
Bent Knee (experimental rock, just an absolutely gorgeous song)
Mel Bryant (indie rock, great hook, cool breakdown)
