Anybody dare do a tldr? When the first paragraph says Bros Attacks, a staple of the entire series, are new, my brain kinda melted…

Seriously?? Protecting themselves from any consequences will mean they act in your best interest???

Hey, wanna buy some lakefront property? It’s on the moon, but still… 🤣

Suzy Cube - it’s a 3d platformer, to me kinda has Super Mario 3d Land/World vibes

Dude, go read the page you linked. Seriously. The “no, you” argument being used to defend Zionism has nothing to do with the page you linked to. Sorry, but, it just doesn’t…

Like, for real, you’ve clearly misremembered your debate terminology. Cause you ain’t making any sense here.

Huh, didn’t realize that. I understand a lot of the physical servers for those kinda companies are in the upper Midwest, but I never thought about where thire HQ is at; you make some excellent points.

There is definitely a fight brewing over who has final say in regards to what happens on the Internet. Gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

The difference is, I think, just how much of the content or there is hosted in America. If they succeed in forcing local companies to follow some new draconian measure, it’ll likely have a disproportionately high effect on non-US traffic.

Well, they’re the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they’re fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was…😝)

Lol. So not a fact.

Lol no.

That’s what I was taught. Unless he’s just outright saying everyone will be illegitimately charged with murder, but they won’t be able to do anything about it?? But… that’s not how any of this works, so I’m just as confused as you…

What am I missing, here?

Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument… 🤪

Due to being a “night owl” myself, I guess I’ve always been a little doubtful regarding circadian rhythms myself; but your explanation did a great job of boiling it all down to the most significant component parts. Thank you! I really liked your summary!

Umm, no. Just…yeah, no.

The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They’ve managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

But… they’ve long since figured out how to monetize without the content. So, that’s a hard disagree from me…

I just switch to desktop mode and never had any problem…

Umm, so do you realize how badly you just destroyed any shred of credibility you had left?

Thank you for identifying a source of disinformation, though; I’m adding it to my block list.

The ability to gamble on the performance of a company auto-magically means investors know more?

Huh…

I’ve always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It’s kinda the first step of the process.

I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there’s not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It’s hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don’t know anything anyway! :-p

I’m a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

Doesn’t this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

I must assume I’m misunderstanding your argument…?

To replace a corporate executive? No, I don’t think so. We already have algorithms more than capable of replacing CEOs. There is nothing that challenging in what they do…
