As pointed out elsewhere around these comments, this looks like another classic example of enshittification. Just like everything that’s invented, it often starts out with a fairly solid design–it couldn’t succeed without that. Once the success is captured, they can start dissecting the design and figure out what parts can be made with cheaper materials (common example: replacing metal w/plastic) and/or cheaper tech. From that point it’s iterations of further cuts to material and tech until it’s the cheapest, flimsiest version that can still function well enough to outlast the warranty. I’ve been in my field long enough (appliance repair) to see generations come and go and it often runs that route. Sometimes design flaws get fixed during the process, but rarely does the product itself get better or more durable in the long run.

Yet another fucking cringe name to add to the modern corpo lexicon

• Bytedance
• Tencent
• Xpeng
• Crunchyroll

I don’t even know that much about any of these companies or their practices but i just really dislike their names. I genuinely cringe when i read those words, lol

This is exactly what i predict will happen as well

I’ve been thinking the same, and even saw some folks here earlier today saying similar things. It’s nice, and i hope it lasts 😬🤞

She doesn’t receive a pass because a bunch of asshole Republicans are openly doing it now. Everybody that’s breaking the law should be punished as the law dictates. I don’t know what’s so fucking hard about that

Just let it happen, baby…🤢

Maybe we can make an AI-driven editing software!

This plan has American backing.

As an American, i do not back this. That makes fuck-all difference, i realize. But please know this is not a policy many Americans voted for nor support. This is so unbelievably fucked up.

It’s good enough to get that gov contract $$ though 🤹‍♂️

I hear they started off in their parents garage

It’s always the ones with the most money that are the stingiest fucks. Always using their wealth as a reason why they’re entitled to anything, yet not actually paying unless forced to.

I don’t get it either, though i think an explanation would probably be even more confusing

User name checks out!

I first thought the image on the right was Peter Thiel, lol

Would seem almost intentional given the size and success of the company. How do you fuck something like that up so badly? Seems like one of those Embrace, Extend, Extinguish deals or similar

But how come they only stopped in 2005

Probably ran out of their stock of lead around that time

Adrian?! Is that you?!
