Is asking people to be nice an unfortunate way to live? Works well for me. I bear bad news a lot in my daily life and I am aware that perception of written text is in the eye of the beholder so I tend to tone down when bringing written messages.

As for the use of the word enshittified. That all boils down to your initial perception of Windows. You feel like it has been awful since... well, forever apparently. Many people disagree. It's a matter of opinion, not facts. Whether I agree or disagree with your opinion doesn't matter. The person you replied to felt like Windows used to be a decent OS that has turned for the worse to please their business customers. Somehow that's how the term was coined.

''Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves.''

Please, be nice. We're all here to help each other.

Is the PRC still communist though?

AZERTY Belgian, Flemish style

Looks like autocarrot to me.

My best friend ended his life nearly tw o years ago. I am still mournig and feel like I will never get over it. I cry at least once a week.

There is the part where you interact with Forefox. Without your data, it just won't work. They need your timezone, your screen size,... I mean, that's for every browser around, even the most hardened system. This data can be used for fingerprinting so you should be aware and you should agree upon that usage or quit the internet.

i.e. using a browser is sending data towards that browser.

I see we both took a day trip to the zoo and got locked up by accident.

In Flanders, 🇧🇪, teachers have a card that gives them certain benefits. Free acces to musea, exhibitions,... This year they made it app only. You need to buy a smartphone to get your benefits...

It was never about free speech

Indeed. I wonder why people market it as an alternative since it has way less functionality. I mean, I'm a fan but link previews suck and threads are buggy. A chat/productivity app shouldn't be that hard. Just considering it all, why not use Lemmy as an alternative?

Matrix does the job okay'ish.

A study in semantics

He's not wrong in what he says but I'm quite sure he means something different.

He's not wrong. A judge can rule if there's a trial and that judge will always have to apply the law.

I don't know. You see a parking spot. Turn on indicators and reverse. Never had an issue in 25 years of driving.

I have a modest vehicle. Tiny to American standards.

I've seen people fumble front parking quite often too. My wife for example just doesn't manage to front park in one go while reverse parking comes easy because of the projected guides en the way the car turns as the rear axle is fixed.
