    I’d like to think that, but I just went to twitch to see what was up and i’ve got one “18+ 🥵🥵” in my recommends despite the only things i’ve really watched on twitch being like 24 hours of marvel snap to collect rewards in that game (i left it in a tab running in the background because why the fuck would i watch other people play something I can just play? but i wanted the in game rewards), some classic TNA (which despite the name is just wrestling) and the first iteration of watch forever (the ai generated Seinfeld).

    So they’re definitely advertising it outside people explicitly looking for it.

    That said i have no problem with it, if this is how people are making their bag in our capitalist hellscape, get that bag…

    It’s sad to see that everyday users have gotten habituated to these constant workflow braking updates.

    I’ve never understood this problem, people talk like it has a mind of it’s own and i just don’t get it.

    I’m running windows 11 pro and have never had updates interrupt my shit.

    Updates show up in my system tray, then it updates overnight when i sleep.

    “Normal guy in 2000”

    as someone who was into computers and in high school in 2000, that that was not normal.

    even if yo mean normal computer literate person, not even then… Most people did not run their own servers, was it more common, yeah, but it wasn’t a given.

    Things were only free if you were into piracy, everything cost money though without as much marketing, but then it wasn’t a huge market…

    Also ads were everywhere and worse…

    Also, calling Biden a “pre-ascendant facist” - NO. Absolutely not.

    First let me clear this up, I mean that Biden represents the previous status quo, which has led us to a current status quo where the fascist are ascendant.

    The status quo that Biden represents with it’s primacy of shareholder power over every other part of society has led has led us here because it causes inequity and decay. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, then desperate, then fascist…

    I’ve long ago given up “not voting sends a message,” just come to peace with the fact that voting for the people that caused the problem will not fix the problem.

    Biden is at best a delaying action from the bad times which are inevitable at this point.

    If the bad times are coming let them come, because in the meantime the fascists are eating away like termites, like cancer, at the structures of our society, more people are becoming desperate and destitute rife for recruitment, delaying it doesn’t save us, it just makes them stronger.


  • Big changes are nearly impossible to pull off.

    That’s what’s needed though. i’m not voting for cinderella, I’m voting for better. Even if it isn’t going to happen.

    America finds itself with the cancer of christian fascism metastasizing in it’s heart and without radical change the bad times are coming. Biden isn’t the guy, Biden is the pre-ascendant fascist status quo trying to hold on for one last gasp.

    That status quo does not by definition have the ability to fight the monster, born of inequity and decay, that it created…
