Mildly annoying

Now I’m interested. I see blue

Sehr schwierig… Vielleicht könntest du versuchen, Themen zu finden, bei denen ihr beide einer Meinung seid. Manchmal hilft es, bei Fragen immer eine Ebene höher zu gehen. Nicht “Angst vor Fremden”, sondern was dazu führt; fühlt er sich immer unsicherer? Warum?

Die meisten Menschen wollen das Gleiche: Sicherheit für sich und die Menschen, die ihnen nahestehen. Perspektiven für die Zukunft. Zeit und Geld für Hobbys.

Aber ich glaube, es wird lange dauern, bis Fortschritte sichtbar werden. Die ganze Debatte ist gerade so ideologisch, dass Leute sofort in eine Verteidigungshaltung gehen und sich wie eine Nuss verschließen.

Ein offener Dialog mit möglichst wenig Vorwürfen wäre das, was ich versuchen würde.

Nobody else acknowledging that this is just AI generated? (just look at the tools and the images).

Anyway, I think generated content should be tagged as such…

So was stackoverflow when it began

Or, in case of Japan, sparkle

Swapping Microsoft for Google is not much of an improvement imho

I’ll believe you without questioning or researching myself because that would be a very comforting thought indeed

Thanks for the link, that’s an interesting (though a bit worrying) concept

Et tu Grünen?

Using SearXNG and DuckDuckGo though, but the piece does read a LOT like an ad. Even the writing style is making me suspicious.

That’s just my impression, not trying to convince anyone

The article isn’t talking about smart devices generally but corporate owned devices subject to enshittification

It’s supposed to reduce how much a company can leverage their market dominance in one market to get an unfair advantage in another one.

See how Amazon places their products (ex. Backpacks) in more prominent positions on their dominant market. Here the unfair advantage is that if a company is already using Microsoft Office and it comes bundled with Teams (for “free”) what chance would Slack or other comm systems have?

I think people are more worried about the trend than the specific changes. Discord might still be okay for now but we’ve been down this path enough times to know where it might lead

I’d say Matrix / Elements is a good alternative.

It’s based on an open and interoperable protocol, similar to the fediverse. So it doesn’t matter the client, as long as your friends are on something that support Matrix they’ll be able to join the group.

As an added bonus, if elements start going down the enshittification path you can just drop them. Also, you can host your server just like teamspeak

Just a reminder for me to check this thread later.

As if LLMs are in anyway appropriate for this… We need to stop putting “AI” in everything and thinking that will somehow solve some problem

Very well written piece, thanks for sharing! I’m one of the people that would be very fast to believe social media is one of the big reasons behind this rising levels of depression and anxiety. This text made me reconsider some thoughts I had

Look, the difference is in the language. One company hasn’t “done it”, the industry as a whole moves, sometimes cooperatively other times in a tug of war.

As the commenter above mentioned, Apple was in a unique position of being able to leverage all the work done in the phone and tablet spaces to push for an ARM laptop. This helped other manufacturers which already showed an interest in doing the same.

On the other hand, with the lock in mechanisms apple has in their products they also stifles competition and innovation in other areas.

They can both help push and hinder innovation. Just like any company. It’s not about hating or loving a corporate entity.

Danke, du hast mir ein Kommentar gespart! (musste aber trotzdem ein bisschen mehr machen als nur hochwählen)
