That's why they have stealth enshittification techniques to disguise them.

Pardon my generalization, but literally no one is interested in threads

You don't raise temperature while the frog is in the pond.

Lately I've been reading a lot of books on narcissism and have been picking up on the idea/notion/possibility/viewpoint that narcissism is a spectrum like autism is. In autism, which itself is incredibly common due to the fact that it's multiple genes/processes/whatever performing multiple parts of a spectrum (think a carpet representing humanity and a shattered cup on the carpet, I use the shards in this visual to represent pieces of the spectrum scattered across humanity, apologies if anyone thinks a shattered cup seems like a negative comparison, I don't), you have the majority of humanity having some variance in it, which goes to demonstrate there's no such thing as a neurotypical. As in, if a scouter was invented that instead of scanning your power level scanned your autism level, everyone would have their very own signature number. ~~I would be over 9000.~~ Same with narcissism, if this view is correct, as it would be another shattered glass on the carpet that is humanity, with the shards from both glasses overlapping in their territories (which when you think about it makes the family dynamics in The Good Doctor all the more awkward, it's one spectrum at odds with another in a show where the main character is a medical savant with autism). And again, not trying to make an awkward comparison, I have friends who openly confess to me they're deep on the narcissism spectrum, and these people at least are trying their best in life, as well as showing narcissism is a neutral condition that just happens to seem more negative in modern urban situations

This is a pseudopsychological word salad, but please accept my apology if you're 14 or chatgpt prompted for redditisms, if that's the case good job.

It's a shitty toy that'll make some people sorry when they don't have any photos from their night out without tiny godzilla dancing on their table. It won't have the staying power Google wishes it to, since it's useless except for gags.

But, please, Verge,

It took specialized knowledge and specialized tools to sabotage the intuitive trust in a photograph.

get fucked

You can install any apk on your phone (even unrooted) and there's alternative stores such as f-droid, so why?

[–] zecg@lemmy.world -4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why, thank you.

Also, fuck your "a" in that font. I'd punch that fucking glyph in the face if it spoke to me on the street.

Fuck you, Mozilla, it's uglier and tells less about your core product, which is also the only thing you have that makes people tolerate your other stupid decisions.

What's with the "the article does x" retelling, it gives me the biggest ick. What's wrong with just quoting a salient paragraph or two?
