I know a guy that got accused by some family member of rape 20 years ago, lost his job and spend years awaiting trial only to be found not guilty but with broken career and a debt. Now go tell this guy and many other guys thinking that "me too" movement went to far that "their problems" were only implanted into their heads. You and me we understand the power dynamics here and can still support "me too" despite it's flaws but many guys simply see the privileges they lost because of it. I'm assuming you would agree with me that they shouldn't have had those privileges in the first place but the fact that they are loosing them is real. That's why they are worried and are pushing back.

I think that's the issue, in the second possible solution one of the parameters is negative :)
This looks great, I didn't even know it's possible to solve it this way. I'm glad someone dedicated some time to it. Let's see if anyone will try solving it in other way.
Yes, I totally agree with everything you said. YT is enshittifying not because it has ads but because their recommendation algo got really really bad in recent years.
Netflix algo didn't change. You still have 'continue watching' and 'my list' on the main page, they added 'top 10 in your country' which is nothing like pushing content they want to show you (assuming it's accurate but I haven't seen any indications it's not), the search still returns accurate results, the recommendations are still 100% related to what I'm watching. Netflix never pushed any 'click-bait' content at me the way YT does all the time.
If you have different experience with Netflix and you found some changes that make your experience worse than you're right, it's enshittyfying. I haven't seen anything like that and I haven't seen anyone complaining about anything other than the price.
No, I agree with the definition. What I'm saying is that quality of streaming services is not degrading. The price is going up but that's not the same thing.
And I already said that you have many alternatives: there's multiple competing services (who's competing with YT?), you still can buy disks, you can watch TV, you can go to the cinema, damn, you can even read a book. No one is locked into one source of entertainment.
You're right about everything but what I'm saying is that there's something hidden a bit deeper behind all this. A lot of people don't support AfD, VOX of Konfederacja because they believe in their economic and anti-immigration policies. They are drawn to them because of they anti-progressive stances and once 'converted' they accept the other ideas. The main thing is that the further you take progressive policies the more people will start disagreeing with them and pushing back. And there's really no good solution here. We either give more rights to women and minorities and face pushback from the right or limit those policies and face pushback from the left. It's a kind of 'two steps forward one step back' situation where we took steps forward recently and I think we just have to be prepared for the step back.
Streaming companies buy exclusive rights to certain content and if that’s where your tastes like, you’re pretty SOL. It’s about as close to “lock-in” as you can get.
Everything about it is wrong. They don't have only certain content, they have everything from Oscar winning movies and indie shows to shit reality shows. They don't only buy rights, they also produce a lot of content. Liking their content is not 'lock-in', you can cancel any day you like and get entertainment on may different platform (including cable TV) or just buy DVDs or whatever. The service is also not degrading in any way. The price goes up, that's the only problem people have with it. The still make Oscar nominated movies, even this year and they still make popular shows.
Youtube is the exact opposite: there's nowhere else to go for this type of content, they are pushing more and more ads on everyone and the recommendation algorithm gets more problematic all the time. That's enshitification. Netflix doesn't have any of those issues.
My guess is that they think
Nope.
My sister lives in US ans is like that. She's not really conservative but the narrative that 'democrats only worry about trans people' got to her. You don't have to watch Fox for this. It's enough to for example work with conservative people and not have strong personal opinions about those things.
It's all true but at the same time you're missing very important thing: a lot of people support extreme right-wing parties because those are the only parties that offer solutions to their problems. One of the main issues conservative guys see today is losing privileges they used to enjoy. For example I heard a guy complaining about the fact, that when he was younger he got naked into some girl's bed and she only screamed a bit and got angry but today he would go to jail. The big difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals see this change as a good thing. AfD and other parties are the only groups that oppose those changes and a lot of white guys are attracted to that. And it's hard to say they are wrong. For them it's all about their status, they see stopping those changes as a net benefit for them. Accusations like the one against Kevin Spacey are not making things better. The farther left you push those things the more people will be worried about their status and will start pushing back. AfD is an example of this push back. It's not all of it but it's a very important part of this dynamic.
Yep, that's correct. I never heard about Z3 and I did it by reverting all the operation. It takes couple of seconds of computer time to solve my way but it took me closer to 7h to figure it out. 1h is impressive.
There are actually two possible solutions because some bits are lost when generating numbers. Can Z3 account for lost bits? Did it come up with just one solution?

It may be hard to understand but the Holy Week in southern Spain is not really about religion (as in faith). It's kind of like football: people are fucking crazy about it, it has it's lore and it's huuuge but honestly, you're not going to see a single priest during the whole event and no one goes to church or prays. It's like a religion themed festival. Sexy Jesus fits perfectly. People can relax about it.
