What tinfoil?
What are you talking about?
Are you paranoid about paranoid posts? :)

‘They’ are the suppliers, I thought that was clear.
The ones that fought for various forms of market shares at low prices so they can now increase those prices bcs there is little practical alternatives in the short term.
So Google, Apple, Samsung, etc.

Why do you think we valued Google in the billions before they had revenue & when they promised to not ever put ads on their page?
Or another example of “them” affecting deman instead of just supply: how was Uber valued in billions when they were making a loss from the markets they were already present on - they offered lower pieces to get the regular taxi services in trouble/to quit & only then their prices soared to get them to profit.

It would be pretty brainwashed to think monopolies just happen randomly without specific effort put into it.

Humans gave us lemons, but the same tool can be used for them too.

Also this gif rustled my jimmies like it was 2010.

“Hahaha, foolish human, no mortal weapon can harm me- … wait, what are you doing? Why are you wielding that transgender person as a weapon?? Tf, this isn’t fair, I didn’t agree to this!!”

(If the “weapon” is a trans furry they make uwu sounds as you swing them around.)

You are right, it’s probably just edited (by humans rather than current gen AI).

Eg sussy artefacty bits from the pic above:

(See how monitors arent complete & the geometry is wrong at the top & bottom?)

Or this obvious copypasta (with one edit in the mid):

The reflexions of light in the edited monitors is wrong too (that’s the first thing I noticed that made me look closer).

Og pic without the fuckery:

One of the achievements of humanity, along with Wikipedia, etc.
A monument how individuals can resist enshitification without prioritising financial gain over other humans.

A sys admin wearing that suit??
That’s how you can tell the pic is 40 years old (ai slop edited).

Oh, yeah, like yo mamma is so great??

It’s (from the era of) Quake with extra Earth lore & special triangles.

It’s like in the movies where the main hero chooses to not kill the bad guy at the end “because that would make him as bad as them” … yet he killed 1000 poor henchmen throughout the movie with no issues.

MFA is moving to apps.
Safety features to authorise transactions.
Completely online banks need apps too.

I’m not saying you can’t still find other options, but it’s only a matter of time. I was just giving an example. Instead of like bitching about restaurants with only online menus.

They engineered smartphones (two very closed ecosystem/monopolies) into our lives so we are dependent on them (can’t even have a normal bank account without it).
Suppliers are controlling the demand.

They are in the process of doing this with AIs.
That’s why they are suddenly abundant & free(-ish).

The monopolies & wealth concentration will be even worse.

This whole link is the exact nerd thing I needed to read rn (it’s notable stuff in overall evolution, not just taxonomy), thx.

Smol area for an otter.
Maybe they are more or an outside otter & just don’t have the ability to stay ‘in that apartment’ constantly.

(Destroy peoples MS Windows, not actual windows, install Linux - they will still chase you & call the cops tho.)

Finally

I’m sorry, but it really feels like we are increasingly not in the same conversation anymore.
