It’s disgusting how many times I’ll catch myself opening an app I closed less than 2 minutes ago because I was bored.

The majority of the ads I get on Twitter now are deepfaked Elon shilling coins — I don’t know how any advertiser (or user) could have any faith in that platform anymore.

I will say, I don’t know what they’ve done but it’s been fucking up my casual circumvention nicely. Now I just get forced into almost 10 minutes of ads every time, and the ad bars shows up underneath videos, the end cards at the wrong time…

It’s insane how many people already take AI as more capable/accurate than other medium. I’m not against AI, but I’m definitely against how much of a bubble of being worshipped that some people have it in.

I feel like Apple is much less threatening as a monopoly than a loooot of other companies…?

Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.

I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.

If this is anything like the flag to bring back the old Chrome downloads bar (I miss you), then enjoy it while you can.

The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.

I didn’t read a single thing beyond the title but… yeah that checks out

I want no part to do with them after they got all the Google domains—they’re not a company I would have willingly supported before, so I’m not about to now that I’ve been forced into it.

Next thing you know

I love how the words they chose to bold were VOTING and BIDEN for their message.

Oh you thought that was for damage prevention? No it’s actually to make sure it gets wet. I heard the Cybertruck’s trunk department QC’d it.

Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.

I thought this meant on top of Premium and I was about to be pissed.

But honestly, Spotify is one of the only companies where I don’t feel like my experience has gotten noticeably worse over my time using it.

Do you think I can just pull up to a kidnapping not prepped with the right music? I’d get kidnapped too.

I just read the best book, you should check it out. Credit to the author of it.

I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.

If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.

I for one am quite confident it’s not me.
