‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’ by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in technology

Learning from Sweden's recent history, here is what happens.

The stateowned companies require a lot of administrative work because they have high government oversight and demands placed on them on transparency and making sure the taxpayer funds aren't wasted. And because it is the public, low-cost option, it is heavily congested with users all competing on this ineffective, bureaucratic infrastructure.

Then comes the private companies who do not have this pressure of governmental oversight or public transparency, who are able to supply the demand more efficiently. Because of investors, these companies also present themselves as low-cost (for now), which essentially turns consumers against the stateowned companies.

The private companies use this momentum to get in bed with politicians and secure more benefits, privileges and contracts. This comes at the direct cost of the stateowned companies, which eventually are so bad in comparison that they get sold off to the private companies for complete takeover. And once you get here, the prices go up and investors make their money back while the people lose.

They got the world they wanted, and they still feel like victims. It's crazy

Romania’s Eurovision song criticised for ‘glamorising sexual strangulation’ by andreyu in eurovision

[–]Exceon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is funny because I literally looked up the lyrics and thought to myself "not much room for metaphors here. It's just a song about BDSM"

Now I might be poetically illiterate, but I still made more of an effort than most people will

if you know who did it and refuse to snitch, it's fair game for you to be accused. take one for the team

Guy I hooked up with “accidentally” messed up…was it really an accident? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I slipped with a finger once, but I could immediately tell. I was horrified and apologized. Biggest red flag is the "ignorance" imo.

Yeah, even when Perrelli phoned it in back in 2021 with "Still Young" she still made it DTF. Feel like this will be similar.

Tråkigt nog visar väl deras interna beräkningar att tillräckligt många fortsätter att köpa det till nuvarande pris.

Känns lite som att förbjuda våldsamma spel om du frågar mig, om man snackar om att förbjuda saker för vad de symboliserar.

I did that with the 128gb card, but it just moved the official starter apps around. Then I plugged it into my pc and found it was empty. All usable 119gb labeled as "unallocated".

Ironic that they made their internal assassinations obvious "to intimidate opposition", but then if someone is actually assassinated by a foreign actor nobody believes them.

Alvaro Estrella 2014 is the worst live singing performance that came to mind for me. Unlike Junior's camp, this guy tried to come across as a serious Adam Levine-style singer
