Tired of sacrificing? Try sacrificing with enchanted apps!

I don’t really like much of anything Google is doing with Android but the UI refresh does look pretty nice even on my old 6a.

I assumed that’s why they all started to get into drugs and burning man and all of that, to try to be interesting and cool.

Of course there’s always lots of cool stuff going on in the fringes but as far as mainstream society goes with this consolidation of power and wealth and so many mergers eating up any decent competition it does seem pretty bleak. I’ve pretty much eschewed any new stuff from big tech for a while now, it’s was very sad to watch the web turn into a place of such open and creative expression into what it is today full of rigid standards, bloated frameworks, bots, AI, endless advertising, bland design, spam, spam, spam, bacon, eggs and spam.

Those of you of a certain age like myself have to feel like you are eating crazy pills at the current state of things, it’s almost like they are building some kind of… new… world… order. Something they fucking were talking about being some evil government/Democrat plot for decades now. What a ride. Did not see Trump at the head of it though.

The movies at Cannes don’t even have to make sense really, it’s a celebration of art, film, the spirit of human creativity, of humanity. It’s a bit of a slap in the face imo.

I would hardly rate the Cannes film audience as the general public, these are people who have made movies their lives, I’m sure they will all welcome AI made movies lovingly. /s

There’s no shortage of other ways to get it for an enterprising person, maybe a few extra clicks once you know where to go. That’s likely one of the goals though, whitewashing the internet. It’s such a massive business though, but maybe very fractured and independent.

If I have to verify myself I simply won’t use it, I really don’t care, there’s nothing so important online that I need to prove my identity to see it. (Banking and shit like that aside of course). Social media? Give me a break I’m already over it before all this ID shit. I hope it all burns to the ground.

I remember when companies hung on to old technology for dear life as long as they possibly could. I’m pretty sure they were still making money then. Everyone hopping on these bandwagons and throwing tons of money at it for FOMO are bonkers, this stuff has barely been tested yet as far as productivity, effect on workers, mental health issues, the list goes on… but I guess that’s all fine.

I’m not becoming the fucking borg.

It’s fuckin ruined already.

Superb, fucking with the spam filters will make the transition away from gmail so much easier.

Nah I’m fine with doing this shit myself, this future is really for the laziest fucks.

Yeah! I want my internet connection run by a man baby who turns off your access if he doesn’t like you!

After watching what they did with social media you’d think everyone would give a bit of pause before swallowing another load from big tech but the people are guzzling it down, I have zero interest in being a beta tester for this dumb technology or talking to a machine.

Always wondered what happened to this guy after he gave up on stealing Pee Wee Herman’s bicycle.

They’re no Spinal Tap, for sure.

MORE pervasive? Everyone is already buried in their phones ffs.
