Supposedly, I am a human, who does very human things.
In that individuals can be, and that its very difficult to actually do a broad search because content that might exist in one might not exist in another, and that the types of people to run them often dont want search engines indexing them
Its interesting to me that your argument is that things completely different to what you are saying is the primary reason you lost, is why she lost but are trying to poorly link them together.
It can’t be both. Either its the change or its the genocide, and its obviously not the latter because the other party is worse.
Even then, your reasoning falls apart because you are refusing to acknoledge that instead people didn’t turn out for harris when they did turn out in normal numbers for trump. For republicans they fall in line, for democrats they fall in love.
Sure there are people who didnt vote for her because her intersectionality of a black Indian woman but that isn’t what lost her election no matter how hard to try to spin your cope.
Just because you want something to be cope as a cheap dismissal doesnt mean it is.
But also like they did historic (up til Trump ofc) expansions in ICE, were deregulating industry,
This is to appeal to the morons they lost to.
deregulating industry,
What??? Biden was in so many ways better at regulating industry than other presidents. Lina Khan did work.
refused to make his campaign policies materialize like single payer healthcare
In what alternate universe did you hear him make that promise?
and ran cover for genocide
Yup, but people do have to remember the alternative we have now is literally worse on this in every conceivable way. Also, I feel fairly confident in my assumption mossad has the best blackmail in the world… The things israel gets away with…
and it was one of the most substantive reasons Trump is now in power.
This is utterly nonsensical. People who are not brain dead did not see trump, who wants the palestinians all to die, very publicly, and think “well joe is still bad, so lets think worse”. That would be a brain rot psyop level of non thought.
I think democrats lost because people were racist and sexist, people didn’t feel spoken too by someone with charisma (partially tied to the first, but also shes literally an EX DA…), the world has been seeing a bad shift in key metrics, and people who don’t pay attention just blame that on whoever is currently in power.
There were probably more, but I think those are the key ones and think the idea that palestine is what made kamela lose is something that people who only pretend to care say.
Is society so broken that we unintentionally produce these kinds of monsters or are some people just inherently born evil?
Unintentionally? Brother there are like a dozen rich white right wing billionaires who have made this their lives purpose. There have been organizations like them for … basically forever with all different sorts of dynamics.
They are very intentionally being created, and of course some people grow up without empathy for those different for them, or without any at all.
They were stabbed by 50% of people going through life not giving a shit about anything, then 30% of the remaining 100 actively wanting to harm others as their primary purpose in life.
You see it in the poll numbers.
Its why republicans consistently get 30% and democrats fluctuate based on vibes maaan.
You also see it in how people act when witnessing someone being abused, where most just want to turn away and pretend its none of their business even when they are in a position to do something meaningful.
Also, I don’t see locking data from search engines as a bad thing. The fediverse isn’t search engine searchable either
The fediverse not being searchable is one of the biggest flaws with it, and make it similarly ephemeral to Discord, except its actually worse because the sizes of communities are just in that goldilocks area of awfulness where there are echo chambers, and people are rude and toxic. Whatsmore, availability due to the small size is relatively mediocre.
However, it’s free and they have to support it somehow.
These arguments might just give me an aneurysm.
This has let so many horrible free to play games off the hook while they literally make billions in profits and have astounding profit margins.
Discord makes money.
In a non hyper greed infested world, they could simply coast at the level of wealth they are at now, still making free money for their investors, paying their workers, and improving the service, without making peoples lives shittier.
There is no reason to justify this shit.
Have you not seen the world? Everything, no matter how horrific, can always get infinitely worse.
The PIF could buy it and ban gay people. Israel could buy it and persecute people against genocide. A rich right wing billionaire could buy it and force even more nazi memes upon the youth. They could make a monetized limit to how many servers one can join that is purposefully below any sane reasonable or normal level. They could make PMs pay per message.
There are infinite ways it can get worse. Infinite.
It also makes giving or getting any kind of support a hellish time sink, but that’s almost besides the point…
You know, this comment just made me realize this might actually be the point for some companies.
Its a cheap way to pretend that you care about customer service, while actually dissuading customers strongly from actually trying. Its also completely easy to bot vs having a human on a phone line.
A great problem of our society is there being too many problems to have any group of people focus on enough to get any of them solved.
If every issue has just 2% of people caring about it, companies can easily just write those 2% off and do business as usual.
This is why to not have an enshitifed world it has to be top down, and people have to participate in politics logically as opposed to based on which groups of people they hate.
The basic maths of it just doesn’t work for any sort of bottom up action.
It would have to be a relative time of quiet and one company sticking out like a sore thumb for long enough for them to be damaged.
You have seen how rapidly things are getting worse.
There is not going to be that happening, and even if there were, it wouldn’t be enough as there are thousands more issues.
This is ultimately just punching sideways and down though.
These companies will win when your strategy is to simply shit on other people for existing.
You may not think that is what you’re doing but it is. How so? Because while you care about this area of life enough to get into the details, for other people, their areas of care are completely different, and it is unreasonable for you to expect everyone to care about precisely what you care about.
As such, punching down and sideways only serves the purpose of making an environment where only the rich and powerful band together, and the poor (us) routinely infight and chop off our own legs rather than realizing that these megacorps hiring leagues of lobbyists, psychologists, marketers, etc know exactly how to push, and know that exactly the person you are bitching at will almost certainly never see your comment, or will consider it hostile and irrelevant so it wont matter either way.
Its worse in pockets (and I mean pockets large enough relatively speaking that you wouldn’t need to be part of specific groups to be there) because there are a lot of culty ingroups who almost seem focused on trying to be as hard to speak to as possible.
Like they are trying to convince you by bashing you with a hammer, spewing pages of rhetoric at you in a bad faith attempt to make their arguments appear to have merit.
Its especially true regarding the types of “”“leftists”“” who are so “”“left”“” that they actively are against any incremental changes that bring about positive change, and are only for fictional masturbatory ideas of instant revolution.
I know that sounds specific to politics, but believe me, it isn’t on lemmy. It creeps everywhere and you’ll see pockets of these people.
I half want to feel like this is astroturfing backed by billionaires to make taxing them more seem less palatable to passerby’s.
This is funny, but just to be clear, the firms that are doing automated trading have been using ML for decades and have high powered computers with custom algorithms extremely close to trading centers (often inside them) to get the lowest latency possible.
No one who does not wear their pants on their head uses an LLM to make trades. An LLM is just a next word fragment guesser with a bunch of heuristics and tools attached, so it won’t be good at all for something that specialized.
The noose keeps tightening.
Google also has been trying to argue that modifying client side javascript is equivalent to hacking.
Modifying code running on your own fucking machine, in your own fucking browser.
Not even close. You live in a tremendous bubble.
The first absolutely. The second not at all.
You starting off with some identity politics nonsense claim just means I dont care to fully respond to the rest of this. Its also old, because so many people on this site are clearly insufferable, bots or so idealistic they flip around to actually fighting against the causes they pretend to care about due to purity testing.
