the definition of enshittification is absolutely about money, it doesn’t just mean “making things worse”
i chose to read the 41 words of your comment instead 😌
yeah with this much effort folks could set up a jellyfin server and an entire piracy stack jfc
last time I checked, IMAP/SMTP required not only a paid account, but running Protonmail’s proprietary bridge app
protonmail is also proprietary.
that said, gmail is surely a terrible recommendation
The entire concept of “quantum” is that it’s the smallest possible unit.
A “quantum leap” is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.
The Planck length, based (it’s a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That’s 0.00…00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.

it’s a “quantum leap” only in the original scientific meaning of “the smallest distance something can possibly move”

under any coherent definition of “whataboutism”, it would mean saying “any crimes against humanity committed by the North Korean government don’t matter, because of [something an unrelated regime did]”.
instead, I was responding to @Marsupial@quokk.au, who was saying that the US invading North Korea wouldn’t make the citizens’ lives any worse – to which, talking about the history of how US invasions have affected people seems, I don’t know, extremely relevant?
unless your comment is meant to be satire about how “whataboutism” is coming to mean “any criticism of the US government whatsoever”, in which case it’s a beautiful job 👏
just like the neutral-to-positive impact caused by some good ol’ apple pie war crimes in Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc…?
“unfortunately, there was just no way around it - they built their own weapons instead of buying them for billions each from Lockheed Martin, so the US government just had to murder hundreds of thousands of their civilians” said Spacemanspliff, ruefully taking a toke in memorial of the people who’d chosen to become victims of war crimes
sure, I wouldn’t say no if airbnb instituted a global 2-address-per-person policy 🤝
but not everyone’s “inhospitable for over half the year” is the same, I know more than one person whose local community has been basically destroyed by second home owners, there were plenty of people wanting to live in those places full-time but they were priced out.
somewhat with you except for the “2” - if you agree that taking homes out of the housing pool to run mostly-unregulated hotels is bad, why allow even one per person?
it requires a paid subscription now, it’s not outrageously priced but it feels like it kind of goes against the ethos, and a lot of people have moved to alternatives like bewelcome
JFK - oversaw massive expansion of the US military and laid the groundwork for the Vietnam war, started a military alliance with the Israeli government, helped fight tooth and nail against Black civil rights except for some minimal concessions, promoted a giant tax cut for the rich, etc. etc.
how you think the USA has a moral or legal right to prevent people from entering the country, while denying native american / first nations claims for land or reparations?
I have a lot of questions, but this is the main one
your second linked article begins “The newest are much larger than they used to be”.
the abject state of the USA car industry - that a “mini” is smaller than the even-bigger, also ridiculously over-sized cars on the road - does not change physics. or justify why you feel the need to choose between the terrible options that are the latest models offered by homicidal car manufacturers
if you think that a videogame with a gay character is “promotion of homosexuality” and “grooming”, but you don’t think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn’t textbook homophobia.
