I bet other vendors implemented similar optimizations and have the same issues. That’s how it’s been in several occasions…

Continued expansion or ever-increasing profits is a definitive characteristic of the system though. Enshittification is just the latest feature it found, for software-based companies.

One could also argue that enshittification is independent to software, like diluting juice or other “innovations” that products received…

Yes.

It could be that not many users see that issue with the phone not waking up because they may be using the fingerprint sensor. Was the other person also having it disabled? If so, you may have something to start debugging… Good luck!

Shitpost. Indeed… From Wikipedia:

In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin (“un conte satirique contre Staline”),[7] and in his essay, “Why I Write” (1946), wrote: “Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”.

Instances can close registrations if there are too many bots, and somehow it could be okay. Bots aren’t impossible to fight, the problem is that capitalist platforms support or ignore the issue since for them is somewhat convenient driving engagement… Or whatever ad-revenue system is behind that.

Transphobes iirc

No, that isn’t 2D… Squarrel original joke was superior imho.

Indeed, a great way to make your “unreadable” bullet point list into a “normie” palatable wall of text.

Or below-average-intelligence people that would just try stuff, like… putting pineapple over pizza, or whatever. Diversity is a valuable.

Just imagine paying the half of it, for supporting local workers for maintenance and fixups instead of a random nobleman’s holidays in paradise…

yeah, but then how am I supposed to remember “tar” ? :P

Gif us an animated picture!

99% percent of the times a study calls some ‘natural behaviors’ on humans, it’s just propaganda looking for legitimacy.

The way hypothesis are drawn, which programs are promoted, where budgets are cut, etc. are all political decisions that shape science. But I understand your point, although I wasn’t talking about free will. Somehow, this talk reminded me of a book, ‘the naked ape’… it was written by a zoologist. Probably had many things just plain wrong, and it’s more speculative-observations than actual rigorous studies. But I enjoyed reading it when I was an life sciences undergraduate. Btw, why are we writing Man with a capital letter? This is what prompted my previous question.

That falling out of love concept is really my big fear.

Don’t overthink it. If you are aware that this could happen, you will be able to see it at its earliest ;)

Did you communicate about it with your partner? That’s probably a great starting point. Go for a chill afternoon of opening. Sometimes, we go through so much together that we take the other for granted, or just forget to open-up and share our innermost feelings with enough room of both space and time.

Thanks for sharing your story. Similarly, I’ve been with my partner for 10 years. We planned on having kids, never materialized because of reasons. Now… We are distancing. It certainly feel like failure. I just moved to a new apartment last week.

So far, I haven’t ‘duel’ the loss, except for some occasional irruption of either sadness (~95%) or rage (~5%). We keep talking daily, trying to part ways softly, we are both migrants in a new country, medium sized city, which adds some peculiarities.

I think we try to avoid the sentiment of failure by keeping an open mind, and a friendship. I even fantasize this is only temporary. But honestly, we have been on this for a while. Like after the pandemic.

Anyway, some comments in this thread really help me. I do want her to be happy. We both deserve the best, and frankly we may not be the best fit today. But we were powerful. We went through a lot, and we did good.

PS. Feel free to write privately of you wanted to share more.

Don’t know the study but any anthropologist can tell that’s a generalization on a certain time, place, and society. It’s (mostly) true, only under certain conditions.

Now did they study any other gender? Perhaps by Man they refer to all humans??
