“You activated my trap clause.”

“You activated my trap clause.”
“Hey everyone, we found an upgrade to planned obsolescence: we call it planned obsolescence 2.0. Instead of designing hardware to break and require replacing after a few years, we’ll design the software to break every month! We’ll say it’s an upgrade. It’ll reduce our material costs and we can pass those savings on to the shareholder.”
Especially when the user experience is constantly guiding users who don’t know better to do exactly that
“You keep saying how we’re all one big family, so give me a share of the business ownership and add my name to your will.”
Conscious and Conscience are different things (but understandably easy to conflate)
I remember that!
Is it still playable anywhere?
I remember when making videos and streaming was about fun, not making profit.
Everything gets commodified in this shithole system. Everything.
Influencers feel more egregious because what they commodify is the sense of human connection and community itself.

Can’t make this shit up.
I saw the bodycam footage on reddit. Content warning for sure.
The USA is evil. There’s no excuse for it.
I think we’re missing a couple of nuances here, no? Although it’s a stretch to call them nuance. The way Ukrainian rulers have been making money has been through privatization. And because there’s so much privatization we need to look at who owns Ukraine’s economy. It’s only escalated since Russia invaded, with national assets being sold off to foreign private sectors so cheaply that one has to wonder why they did it when the gains are a drop in the bucket compared to the direct aid they’ve been getting from Western public sectors.
If Ukraine emerges from this conflict with its own sovereignty, it’ll be sovereignty over a flag, a presidential palace and a state framework that protects foreign companies’ investments from hungry Ukrainians.
