IMO this is not enshittification, it’s not the websites fault they struggle with bots. It may not be the best strategy, but enshittification is when a digital service has its customers caugt with vendor lock-in and then exploits them for more profit

city pigeons are descended from rock pigeons which in nature breed on the ground on tall cliffs and stuff, they don’t really build proper nests. This is part of why they thrive in cities, since tall buildings are a perfect nesting opportunity.

ur out of the loop on the cuckstoel memes, and you replied to the wrong comment

Most likely sodium, maybe potassium

So it should be Plato not Socrates in the meme?

Oh woops! Thanks

what flag is that I am badly educated apparently

It’s true I was there. I was the racism

It’s really the first couple minutes that are critical

pick a community please <3 I don’t wanna see the same meme on my feed multiple times

ahhhh thanks so much

I still don’t get it haha

did you understand the joke OP was trying to make?

do they not? That is disappointing

good point

True! fairphones are at least okay-ish there too. They actively cooperate with devs that make open source android OSs. But yeah Google still has way too much power in the entire android ecosystem. Many banking apps don’t work without Google Wallet, which doesn’t run on degoogled OSs.

agree 100%. One way to buy less phones is to buy a repairable phone.

for me the point about being locked into an ecosystem is reason enough.

Some more on that:

• Apple has actively resisted efforts by the EU to standardize
• iPhone doesn’t allow you to install apps they haven’t approved.
• Apple devices often refuse to interface with non-apple devices despite being physically capable.
• You cannot easily install other OSes on Apple hardware.
• Apple software is almost entirely closed source, and they likely have backdoors everywhere.

I just want to own my phone man

use whatever phone you like

wrong. Use a fairphone

£4 sounds pretty cheap if it’s a decent meal
