@Techaltar propably because #Consoomers are braindead and wasteful?
#consoomers
@nikatjef Yes, because #Valve knows that in the end, most "#Normies" / "#Consoomers" / "#TechIlliterates" don't care.
- All they care about is being able to play games with the same comforts as on a #Desktop - #PC, with #Steam's "Cloud" #Sync for Savegames and Settings, Workshop for #Mods and all the good stuff they put into their Software for the last 25+ years!
Making #LinuxGaming better is just a good side effect.
@domi @foone Sadly, #TechLiteracy is in decline and #consoomers get groomed into accepting #bloatware!
@jt_rebelo @housepanther same...
I wounder how all those #Normies and #Consoomers can actually endure all that shite...
- How does the #Enshittification not melt peoples' brains - or does it?

Cuz to me it feels as if we're running towards the dystophia of Glass...
@Crell @alina It's not an ignorant rant.
- I've made peace with it, just as I've made peace never touching #Windows ever again.
You may call me an "opinionated asshole" from your point of view, but I sincerely wish I was wrong.
- Look where all the absurd complexity got us: #NSAbook, #JavaScript-based #malware that mines #shitcoins and #tracking #cookies.
The real cost doesn't come through to #consoomers except as #ReducedLifecycle due to #bloat.
But then again what do I expect from a coward doing the reply & block - combo, because confronting the fact that people got burned out by shit like PHP would mean admitting mistakes, and we can't have that as a fanboy.
@AeonCypher Maybe, All I know is that most #Consoomers are #TechIlliterates that can't be bothered to even making basic decisions!
@tante that is intentional!
- Because the #TechBros want #illiterate "#Consoomers" and hate confident people.
That's why they are transmisogynist and racist POSes: They don't accept or even tolerate people who are more intelligent, more confident or just flatout better than them!
- And a #Broligarchy needs to make themselves look like "wizards" to justify their weaponization of #tech, #sexism and #patriarchy as pillars for their thrones.
They don't want people to be able to #DIY or #repair or have any #knowledge, but to take the #Enshittification as "law of nature" and being dependant on an "Oracle" as a fact of life.
- They fear people who are able to evidence that "a different world is possible" and that's why they push for #CyberFacism and #PoliceState hard, wanting to kill #SolarPunk as they want to rule a #CyberPunk #dystopia that is closer to the world of #GString than #Cyberpunk2077!
@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...
The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.
I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription
Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.
- And with fish I appreciate it but I despise it's not the default #shell for any #Linux distro I can use in #production.
It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.
- Kinda like how every #skiddie and #TechIlliterate can use #Windows but that Windows is shit and the only reason they can is because they got groomed into being #consoomers that accept #enshittification as a fact of life.
@stevenaleach @hannah The problem is that #Microsoft pays the big #OEM|s $25 per preinstall and #TechIlliterate #Consoomers and #Normies don't know better...
- It's the same with #Adobe #Acrobat: EVERY SINGLE #PDF READER IS BETTER - INCLUDING
pdf.json #InternetExplorer!
@lordsplodge @nixCraft @Daojoan that's because the #Internet became #accessible for #TechIlliterates & #MediaIlliterates and #Consoomers who are either unable or unwilling to use their brains.
- It was a mistake to let #Boomers and #MassMedia be allowed online!
@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 @kopper granted, #TechIlliterates & #Consoomers are just a bad standard to begin with and aligning with the bottom barrel is always gonna lower one's standard.
People need to realize there's not one perfect app.
- They can have multiple very good options that do their part or one shitty bloatware that does nothing even halfway acceptable.
The former are #IRC, #XMPP+#OMEMO, #WebCall, #OnionShare, #Linphone, #Mumble, …
The latter one are #MicrosoftTeams, #Discord, #QQ, #WeChat, #iMessage, #Signal, #Matrix, …
@tauon Actually, you want to use a truly secure as in real #E2EE solution like #XMPP+#OMEMO as in @monocles / #monoclesChat and @gajim /#gajim...
- And for those "#TechIlliterate #Normies / #Consoomers" that are too scared to #degoogle or even use @fdroidorg they have a #GlobalSwitchDay #promo right now:https://monocles.social/@monocles/113925173206088469
@ColetteDiskette I guess they are just "#consoomers' that want to he abused by the next billionaire to #enshittify their for-profit #AntisocialNetwork...
@emilymbender personally, I hat the fact that #Enshittification in #education went so far s to groom children into being #consoomers and unpaid "#InofficialEmployees" to #GAFAMs and thus #NSAbook!
@ravirockks not only are companies refusing to hire folks, the entire chain from #ElementarySchool to #University refuses to teach proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec and rather "grooms" people into being "stupid #consoomers"!
@sleepybisexual They also get sold to #TechIlliterate #Consoomers as a #grift...
Thanks to #HughJeffreys for showing the #Enshittifcation of #Tech through #PlannedObsolescence aka. #ReducedLifecycle in a #TechIlliterate-friendly way.
We need to radicalize the #Consoomers and #Normies so they refuse to buy trash tech!

@littletranspunk @empathicqubit EXACTLY THAT is the problem:
People.didn't get taucht #TechLiteracy but groomed into #consoomers!
@JustinLachance but since that requires politicans to actually have a spine and ve principled, it's up to the individual to act accordingly and boycott them just like one would boycott a North Korean (regine controlled!) Restaurant or some shitty ultra - "fast fashion" label that manages to run sweatshops so inhumane that they manage to break labour regulations in Bangladesh & "P.R." China...
It's just that most people are #TechIlliterate #Consoomers that literally give 0 f**ks even confronted!
