If you're using "enshittification" the same way Cory Doctorow does, then the key is reducing the cost of moving to alternatives. Once a platform has a captive market then they can start taking advantage of consumers and advertisers.

It's entirely possible that the Lemmy and Mastadon instances you join will become awful, but because anyone can host an instance and consume content from whichever instances they want the switching costs are essentially 0.

Support for ActivityPub is, in my opinion, an important component because it allows for a standardized way to consume content from social media networks. Imagine being able to leave Twitter, but you're able to bring everyone you want to follow with you because their posts can be consumed using a standardized interface.

Really surprised we didn't side with Hamas this time.

Really uncool move. It's crazy how people pull stunts like this. It also frustrates me seeing this type of behavior from people in positions of authority.

Not sure, but if I lived in Hawaii I'd probably want to dress like a squid too.

I disagree with your claim that knowing who is committing the violence doesn't matter. I think it is very important to know as much of the truth as possible behind every act of violence. More information and more intelligence allows for better decisions to be made. And knowing the truth is the only way to hold the correct parties accountable.

I'd be interested in evidence that supports either claim.

I'd think this type of behavior is more about social anxiety than introversion.

I replaced a Switch Lite battery and the hardest part was being patient with the tape Nintendo uses to secure the battery in the chassis. The double sided tape they use is incredibly sticky and if you yank the battery out you could definitely break something. Better to use some heat from a hair dryer and slowly pry the battery out with a plastic pry bar like a trim removal tool.

Yeah. I think there is a pretty big difference in the dynamic between a person who owns and directly manages rental properties and a corporate land lord that exists purely to extract as much money as possible from a tenant.
