But there’s also nothing to gain by admitting and stopping the deception. As long as there’s one useful idiot who can be deceived, you cna keep it going.

And unfortunately there’s a lot of useful idiots.

I didn’t know there’s a website to login to. Always ever used the app. But yes, I can open it:

I have two D5 and the app and cloud connection is working just fine!?

But they haven’t so far, and the question was why it’s popular at this moment.

Possible future enshittification disqualifies all software, unless you prevent it from going online - which you can also do with Unraid.

I genuinely thought it’s not limited, but yes, the trial.

Decent UI. Affordable lifetime pricing. Actually just-works. No retrospective enshittification. Free trial is actually free, not ad supported.

You get what you pay for, and you’re not the product.

And you have never been a western expat in China, Dubai, Russia, and a number of other countries with questionable human rights. These foreigners will most likely live in gates communities among themselves, and limited contact to locals.

There’s ample of evidence that a couple of decades to reeducate their children and grandchildren simply isn’t enough or doesn’t work.

We had a couple of decades to educate everyone about fascism,… and yet we’re here.

That’s actually quite easy to explain. Reddits entire monetary value (or at least a very large portion) depends on how relevant it is as platform to mine user interactions - to use as training material for AI.

Reddit getting references less is a sign that the models, or the owning companies, value reddit data less compared to before.

Still the point is you don’t spend money without knowing what you get so it is better. Still predatory, but better

What about Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even 4chan?

You know why. Because the CEOs of the first three bent the knee to the facists already, and the last one is a breeding ground for MAGA.

This is just the next round of CEOs to be intimidated into submission. Some of them won’t need intimidation of course, spez will be happy.

Do we work for the same company? Exactly same story here. Also just botched the Oracle to Aurora migration.

He’s definitely also not a “fixes the bug himself” CEO.

We can pretend he’s different. I can freely admit that I like to think he’s different. But no way in hell is he fixing any kind of problem, that arises in the middle of the night, himself.

No. It’s complicated. There are new scanners, which are supposed to detect and identify fluids, and we’re supposed to lead to a removal of the fluid restrictions. But now there’s claims they are not good as expected.

So yeah, new scanners, but sometimes with restrictions in place and sometimes not. And if the whole airport (or just the security check point you end up at) doesn’t have the new scanner… then of course the restriction is definitely in place.
