To put it in perspective, that's just an hour a day since the start of covid or 2.5 hours a day for the two years many didn't go out. Most gamers easily put in that time and many people put in that much time to their hobbies.

Give it two weeks and someone will have created a program specifically titled "Twitter Face Bypass" or something

They reported things, they're butthurt that nobody agrees with how they think it should work and are trying to blame it on enshitification making us dumb instead of acknowledging a fundamentally different view of how things should work.

I was born in the US to a family who's been here for generations. I have three years in debate. I have spent years developing data interface tools for customers and working with user feedback. I understand English.

Saying I must not understand because I don't understand English is a prime example of an Ad Hominem. You commented on me instead of what I'm saying.

I understand fully you stated "Lemmy is not enshitified". I also understand fully that the rest of your post reads like you disagree with your own statement.

Your post effectively reads like this:

The effects of enshitification are becoming apparent. Here's issues I have with Lemmy. I think all bad software these days is the result of enshitification and thus the term should apply to modern software issues. This means Lemmy is enshitified by transitive property. Enshitification is modifying what we accept as the norm.

Ah, good ol' ad hominem attacks. Yes, very well thought out rebuttal.

Counter: Maybe, based on the multiple people who have commented so far, your message isn't being communicated clearly and people disagree on what it communicates.

Oh I read it. You state Lemmy isn't enshitified, but then spend hundreds of words trying to relate issues with Lemmy to enshitification. Whether it's your intent or not the body of your post ties parts of how Lemmy functions to enshitification.

It reads like you're upset people disagree with your thoughts on how things should work, and you're trying to say it's all enshitified.

Everything they're complaining about with Lemmy seems like the opposite of enshitification. The developers made Lemmy, a massive project, and missed a few use cases that they can go fix. There's no worsening of anything, just a lack of development time.

Nothing.

It's also not a great language learning system

What you're describing is a different problem that does exist but isn't what's going on here in the US. The layoffs have been so broad and across so many different industries with almost no rhyme or reason.

Several of my friends who have been in the industry for years, and quite good at what they do, have been laid off. Many of the companies fired people simply based on who was hired last (even if they'd been there 3 years and a high contributor). Others fired just based on which team made the least money back (without regard for if they were a support team or some other important group like an infrastructure team not directly developing a product but developing for all the other teams). The steel processing company one of my friends worked for developing their inventory system and such, they told each manager to lay off 20% of their team and didn't give any more guidance.

The article focuses on the big companies like Google and Microsoft but country wide from the companies with only a few people on up have been laying off developers. This was a safe choice field a few years ago but more is flooded with competing applicants for job listings.

It's understandable. You want to read the work as to the author intended.

I'd say it matters from work to work. Some like "La Horde du Contrevent" translations apparently can't capture all the neoligisms and subtlety of the original. Something like Kafka relies less on the specific words usually and more the path of the story and ideas and so reading a translation is just fine.

Godot got way more eyes on it during the Unity debacle and has gotten a few really good updates since then. Hopefully that trend continues. I believe it was packaged with Battlefield 6 as their map editor for players which can't hurt it's uptake.

Bruh. Isn't borderlands 4 running on Unreal Engine 5? Gearbox didn't even code their own engine so how on earth can he tell others to code their own?
