Every day I see the words enshittification in ever dumber contexts. Rent seeking platforms? Enshittifying. Open-source? The origin of enshittification. Fuck you Doctorow. You gave people a vague concept to be mad at instead of being mad at capitalism being capitalism.
Could we maybe have a little purity politics please? So that self-described left wing parties don't have fucking bigots that manage to be more regressive than the average tory in charge?
I know that the "women are objects" and "gay people don't deserve rights" positions are fairly normal, but "no children out of wedlock" seems pretty regressive even for the average rightist. Where the fuck did they find this horrible person?
@alda the SNP is to my understanding a party that has generally leant left in recent history, especially in economic and social terms, rather than being a purely nationalist (in the self-determination sense) party without further aims.
This makes it seem like they're trying to mimic labour's bullshit...
labour is totally going to incorrectly relate their local elections wins to them taking an anti trans stance and run on a queer bashing platform for the general election because the current party is a fucking joke where the only unsettled question is whether starmer is a spineless coward or a plant
"Layoffs are happening because of remote work" wow people really will write any fucking excuses for capitalist greed won't they. Outsourcing only started in 2024, no one ever worked with teams across continents before remote work, which itself was invented in 2020.
lol, GitHub just notified me they accidentally deleted my passkey which I guess explains why I've not been able to use a passkey for any auth for about a week
Is there a backpack brand that people don't regret buying? My current backpack is falling apart and I need a new everyday bag (laptop, camera, battery, occasionally some shopping), and it seems hard to say that any of the popular brands care about making bags that last more than a year or two?
