You mean Chrome? 🤣

Because who is going to operate the servers?

Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.

And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.

Google will literally sell you photo books.

Yeah, that's definitely what I'm feeling. It's a lot more irritating browsing here than Reddit.

Exactly! It goes like this to me:

"Billionaires and landlords are bad for society." Hard agree!

"There should be less billionaires and landlords." Okay, I agree with that too.

"We should kill them!" NO! FUCK NO!

I understand that if society is going to change for the better, that some people deliberately stand in the way and others will inevitably be forced to stop them. But there's this new school of thought that says "My enemies are ontologically evil and all harm done towards them is morally good" which sickens me.

An act can be justified, necessary, and still immoral.

Yes, exactly. That's the point.

I heard 1899 didn't hook viewers nearly as well as Dark, fwiw.

I completely disagree with this, but that's probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.

What actually happens is that it normalizes making fun of people like him. I do feel the socialization angle is important, but remember that classroom culture is very much predicated on kids making fun of those who are "different".

Here's an issue that people won't talk about that they need to: the right to commit crimes. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's immoral, and the growing belief on multiple fronts that a criminal justice system should be "perfect" is what's driving a lot of the erosion of privacy rights, among other things.

I really hoped Threads would supplant Twitter, but it wasn't even given a chance. All the people I follow have either stuck to Twitter over Bluesky's invite system and Threads being full of braindead Instagram people, or rejected the idea of a Twitter replacement completely (sorry, cohost is not a good replacement!)
