The simple solution is to just… stop using video so much. Video is riddled with problems as a long term human record, doesn’t scale, increases perpetually in requirements without actually improving quality of CONTENT, isn’t indexable or searchable, isn’t easily translated into multiple languages, not as easily shared, not as easy to back up… Text is not obsolete. It was our main method of information transmission for tens of thousands of years, and NOTHING will convince me that it should be replaced as the primary method.

Again, it’s a human problem. If humans accepted text and images again for the majority of information transfer, the problem would go away.

Yeah… the very fact this is posted as a youtube video reinforces the point of how far we are from this. The issue is, the enshitified internet is not a technology problem… it’s an education/people problem.

The internet will not be better until people are.

“Sir, those are pigs.”

Those people can either be classified as “don’t exist” because they actively wiped out their own influence, or “as bad as the Republicans”, because they were comfortable allowing it to happen, but they certainly CAN’T be classified as “magic absolution of the American public as a whole for this series of events.”

Is that the Crystalline Entity?

Okay, it isn’t 100%, but it’s certainly MORE consistent than GUI, and since GUI is generally just a front-end for CLI anyway, if the CLI is inconsistent, so is the GUI, so it’s not as if GUI avoids this problem.

I blame absolutely nobody for wanting a GUI tool for things. But the idea others are at fault for being hesitant or unfamiliar with the tool is also disingenuous, especially when the GUI just adds another layer of abstraction to the tool while removing some of the functionality (as GUI tools often do).

It’s like you’re learning to ride a bicycle. I get that you like the training wheels and they are extremely useful for you, and more experienced cyclists SHOULD be understanding and accommodating, but they can also see the ways they’re holding you back, and it’s natural for them to want you to take them off as soon as possible.

Also, CLI is consistent across any distro… GUI tools, however, vary depending on your desktop environment, distro, version…

I mean… hate is something that exists.

Human meat brains are lazy. They want to do the minimum amount of work to meet their biological needs. Getting them to want to do more involves rewiring their reward structure to associate fulfillment, either internal or external, with doing more. We can talk about the myriad ways that someone can miss the developmental milestones to encourage that, but that’s what’s going on.

“He’s just a dog, Carl.”

I hope there’s a stipulation that if you ever come back, the same amount is due as a lump sum.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Tonight… You.

Always has been. They just can’t hide it now, so they’re out in the open

I’m gonna say that still counts as “cheap assets”

It’s so much worse than it needs to be for no reason. They don’t have the numbers to do anything, but they could at least fucking PRETEND to care that they can’t.

“Well, you guys are trying your best, but there’s nothing you can do without the numbers.”

“No, no… let’s be clear… Even if we had the numbers, we are INTENTIONALLY not doing anything.”
