I recommend using a platform that isn’t as infuriatingly stupid like IMGUR if you don’t like that to happen.

Honestly, the mildly infuriating part is that people still use IMGUR despite the fact that it’s well known that IMGUR has gotten this bad.

That’s unfortunate then. But it was worth a shot anyways. If nothing else you learned a bit about UNIX/ Linux should you ever find yourself in a situation where that may be of use again.

Unix and Linux are terms that can and have been used a bit interchangeably in the past already. It’s possible that their UNIX category is just named like that from way back in the day. If internet speed and data limits are not a concern it may be worth a shot to try if the UNIX version works on your system. Simply because Linux is UNIX based but not officially certified as UNIX.

I dunno… This might be a good read though:

Right. AI music? Hopefully not, it is likely going to lead to generic slop that may infringe on other artists copyright. AI Podcasts? OH GOD NO! factual news isn’t working with AI and you guys think that opinions with AI is a good idea? Are you crazy?

Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy. The question really is if that is actually better than what we already have. And there is only one way to find out, which is by testing it and then being honest about it.

“beset on all sides, with idiots”

Come on… Shitty safety measures have never, ever, in the history of mankind led to catastrophic events with a lasting fallout. -some government that collapsed

After all after some point safety is just pure waste of money. -some dead CEO

It doesn’t take enshittification for something real bad to happen. All it takes is time. Add the mentioned enshittification and corner cutting and we know for sure what will happen…

Or how the saying in EvE online goes : it’s not a question on if your ship gets blown up but a question of when it gets blown up.

“prison warden advocates for locking everyone up for their own safety”

The network providers know full well that the market is saturated and that they have to make a better offer if they want to gain market share. The only thing device lock in does is improve their bottom line since they can force you into a shitty contract for longer. It has NO benefit for the consumer whatsoever.

I do give a shit, and at this point I want to see that platform taken down for good. Because otherwise it’s a platform for nefarious shit and abuse. And no one needs that. Especially not the gullible.

What a calamity. Which is ironically how the capsule that is stuck got named. The jokes just write themselves.

Never stopped using cash. It works, is less trackable and most importantly is accepted for exchange of goods even outside of your typical store front. Say when buying hay or straw for horses and paying then and there.
