5th panel: back in current time, no pinkhaired dudes anywhere.

I would imagine it’s a different case when you look at it from the outside versus when you’re experiencing it. Not that I have experienced that. I have had the good fortune to have another leg to stand on, an existing relationship, the couple of times I’ve had trouble like that.

And I want to emphasize that saying no to such a thing is highly likely to be the correct choice. But those two seem happy.

Gotta say, like honestly. If I was single and 44 years old and some reasonably smart 19 old woman wanted me, it would take significant willpower to say no.

A pretty privileged view of poor people. Makes sense, I guess.

Enshittification happens when the quality of the service becomes second class to some other goal like making money, building digital surveillance or a psyops platform. As long as Lemmy stays open source, that will not happen, since every move towards anything like that would be immediately obvious.

The problem has already been fixed. What needs to be done is keeping it fixed.

I don’t use Omarchy, but yeah I do drive a Tesla. It was the best car to get when we were getting a new one some 3 years ago. I briefly considered moving away from it roughly a year ago when Musk was doing his weirdo stunts in public. Came to a similar conclusion: not going to make big (and in that case quite expensive) changes because of online influencers. Also keeping your current car is usually the most enviromentally sound choice.

Same reason why I don’t use Omarchy really. Not gonna change distros because of influencers.

Don’t tell me I have to deproton now.

You don’t.

Don’t read anything about Mullvad’s CEO then, I guess.

Could be that someone used an AI to post and upvote them.

I would bet real money that Proton as a service will not be affected by this in any significant fashion.

No. I’m not going to make changes in my personal digital life because of online influencers.

Proton is fine.
