The inaccurate ones are the scariest. That crab isn’t remotely natural, it must be the work of a truly gifted and insane necromancer.

Two punches for calling it Aluminium

There are worse things to go after him.

And if someone eventually reports on it the audience is already primed to doubt that reporting thanks to stories like this. I’m not saying it’s a vast right wing media conspiracy, but it’s what one would look like.

Sometimes I’m guessing, but my guesses are more informed than yours and I’m only suggesting giving it a try because it will be faster than this argument we’re now having about it.

what are people going to do? go somewhere else?

Amazon fucked up on this part of the enshitification strategy because there are still plenty of other options

Yes, you need to say more. I have absolutely no idea what that is and I don’t want to Google it if it’s really that horrifying.

Looks like you just missed the frog with a wizard hat who definitely hangs out there

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

If they can’t vibe with that I don’t want them ever coming over again

It matches my Stanley

The Amazon near me has a “Just Fuck Off” policy. They redecorated the old Toys R Us building a few years ago and then never bothered to open the store.

I’m imagining that the first output didn’t cover everything they wanted so they tweaked it and pasted the results together and fucked it up.

Anything’s better than Blippy

Bro, not only are they sentient, the trees fucking hate us. Allergies aren’t just something that happens as a quirk of evolution. Those trees are filling the air with their jizz in a coordinated effort to take us out bro. The trees are trying to kill us bro.

To be fair to Apple, I don’t think they’re referring to rice dust getting past seals. They’re likely referring to bits of rice getting stuck in lightning or USB ports, starch on camera lenses, or a small particle working its way into a button. All of that could be solved by putting the phone in a paper wrapping or envelope and putting that in a real desiccant instead of chucking the phone in a bag of rice.

Not on my phone, and it’s pretty shitty to need add-ons just to make content readable, so whatever

Still can’t read the content without pop-up ads. Hella enshitified.

You just have to make a post on your Facebook profile saying that you don’t consent and that you retain all rights. Bonus points for working in some sovcit stuff.

Nah, Google was a thing by the time Napster was around. If you were hip enough to know about one you probably knew about the other. You’d get an idea by figuring out what genre the artist was, reading reviews, just seeing where discussion was taking place. Not by listening to it, you’d have to queue it up to download and wait while hoping your source didn’t go offline before it downloaded. And yes, even at 56k you could load and read text while downloading MP3s, it was just slow.

Once you found the song and started downloading it you had plenty of time to browse the rest of the library of the person you were downloading from. That could lead to finding stuff you never heard of that you would like. The only catch was that you couldn’t listen to it immediately, but you could Google what you found to get an idea of what it was and go from there.

Over 20 years ago, the internet was revolutionized through free music file sharing. Today, Napster’s legacy lives on through websites that rip YouTube’s audio.

Is this guy a boomer or a zoomer? It sure seems like he doesn’t know that what made Napster great wasn’t really the downloading so much as how it facilitated discovering new music. Looking through other people’s collections while the thing you came for downloaded was amazing.

Edit: I looked it up, Zoomer
