If we would talk about my local pizza restaurant here: Very nice move. For EFF: That's ~15 years too late, and way too specific. Their job (without them ever having realized in fact) was to generate some force against these centralized

Yes, let's agree it all depends on the definition of a deep friendship, I'd say. If your definition includes regularly spending time together with your friend, not as appendix to her/his family, but with activities that conne

Well, quite often I think this way but resist to say so. This time it's even more obvious, though: They all know that I'm right. Everybody knows. That's not the point why they downvote.

Yes, I'm sure that works. It's just not my cup of tea. Instead of doing that, I could just watch TV. And I'm really not a TV enthusiast.

You might confirm or not. As far as I observe it, the "deeper connection" is virtually always with other parents. And this is exactly the connection. Without children, it's neither possible nor attractive to be one of these p

One thing that I've learned from my friends in the last 10 years: You can either have deep friendships XOR children. All of them are either still without children, or are by no means valuable friends anymore. Sorry, but that's jus

> She said she heard about the Tin Can on a Facebook group. Nice to safe the kids from that... But who will save the adults? ^^ Yes, social media is bad for kids. You start to realize that. It only took 15 years. The thing is: It's

Yes, indeed, as far as I understood younger people, they'd definitely do a lot of "very smart things" (tm) before they get the idea that one can indeed exchange email addresses via tiktok. Guess what: It's not solely for

After reading some parts of this thread, all I can recommend is the following: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/539867-never-argue-with-an-... (I'm sure there are various German things to criticize or to make fun

Exactly. And once those ones are established: Why not have all discussions there; not just the ones where you explicitly want to hide something (for whatever dubious or legit reason).

If there is nothing else, then you as a customer has screwed up with it before, right? And then the entire strategy/philosophy is maybe to be reviewed?! Or, in other words: If there is no alternative, this is due to your own faults. Ei

Does it matter. It's just some arbitrary company. They do have the freedom to decide those things however they want, right? The customer can then decide whether to switch or not.

Are there any BAR forks or alternatives that don't force me into proprietary walled gardens for exchange with the community? I would even donate! Even regularly!

Yes, Linux has not been enshittified in all these 25 years. I can confirm. I cannot even confirm that for the entire FOSS scene, though, where it is common sense nowadays to depend on Github and Discord, maybe also Youtube, Facebook, etc. B

Some things were always wrong. Since day 1. And since day 1 there were people (e.g. me) who constantly told the others. But got ignored. No, enshittification is not new. It was obvious from day 1 that it will eventually happen. To everybody

The thing is: If it takes so long for you to get awareness, then better stop everything. It makes no sense at all in that velocity.

I'm always baffled why there are obviously enough people (not only here in particular; but also here; and sure, it's not a majority, but it's enough people to actually have some influence) who can formulate all these claims,

Good news: You (as a community) can now finally wake up from your dreams and get some things right! It's really a shame that you always wait until you really get forced. Particularly in situations when every individual's inability

Admittedly, I don't know that particular case from practical experience, but yeah, well, that sounds very symbolic for what I meant.
