Lol. So not a fact.

Yeah, that’s some scary levels of cognitive distance on full display here. But, at times like this, we must try to suppress any desire to say, “I told you so.” When somebody makes a statement that might imply they are somewhat aware at least of the effects of such cognitive dissonance, they need compassion, not contempt, to find a way out of their own mazes.
I just switch to desktop mode and never had any problem…
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…?
What I love about The Rock: he’s only got, like, three facial expressions and I don’t even care - I know he’s gonna make it worth it to watch him anyway! :D
Edit: a word
Nah. Until I meet a “freeze peach” nutcase who isn’t blatantly acting in bad faith, I see no reason to legitimize their crap…
If this were me, I’d probably try to pay attention to my posture and body position as I’m starting a task. Once I’m into whatever project I’m working on I’m less likely to notice my posture until I start feeling actual pain.
Umm… this reeks of pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo. Doesn’t help that the website is an “open” platform (i.e. doesn’t have proper peer review or other safeguards).
Frankly, this has no place in a science community.
Well, you’d know better than I would, of course!
If it is the disc, I’d take it to my local game store and have them run it through their disc buffing machine. I guess I just want to encourage you to not blame the disc too hastily. Honestly, without visible scratches or damage, it’s very rarely the disc. Like…almost never.
Is the disc badly scratched or otherwise physically damaged? Usually, if your disc is the problem, you’ll be able to tell by looking at it.
If the disc is in good condition, then the problem might lie with your console. Hopefully it’s just a dirty lens, but given how long that console was released, the motor in your optical drive could be wearing out. Do you have similar problems in any other games?
False. The vast majority of office jobs can be completed more efficiently via remote work, with less personal cost to the employee, too. I can’t actually think of any office job that can’t be done just as well, if not better, working from home.
Nah, Slackware is just as old as Debian, and apparently SUSE branched off from Slackware. And it’s still around, although I don’t use it anymore…
Unfortunately, it’s been looking more and more like Dems are not much more than “controlled opposition”.
On the other hand, courts do generally enforce click-wrap and sign-in-wrap contracts. Click-wrap contracts require that consumers click “I agree” by means of an immediately available pop-up box. See Caspi v. Microsoft Network, 323 N.J. Super. 118. Sign-in-wrap contracts include a hyperlink, often labeled as “Terms of Service” or “Terms and Conditions,” that is located by a sign-up button. Sign-in-wrap contracts require that users electronically accept the terms by clicking “I accept” or “I agree” as the last step of the sign-up process before allowing consumers to use their products or services.

There’s more information on that page, but essentially, no, they can in fact be legally enforced. Exceptions revolve around clauses that violate existing law or that cannot be enforced for other reasons.
Was it? You proud of those words?
Cause everyone else here thinks you’re an idiot…
Completely untrue. I’m not afraid of news outlets. I’m not afraid of what the “others” have to say
Pretty sure you’re talking about yourself here, champ.
Or, and I know this is really out there, but maybe, just maybe, facts don’t actually care about your feelings.
If they get bent somehow and don’t sit properly on your face anymore, try to avoid bending them back yourself. It’s better to have a professional do it. They know where the stress points are and how to do it right without breaking them!
