it's time for webrings
just run your favorite linux distro and disable javascript and only use good sites like jstpst
these guardrails will keep your internet experience roughly unshittified (up until each IP packet needs to come with a government ID number or each post costs $0.02 doubling with each post a day or whatever)

Can't agree with you here; for some types of work, where the job is doesn't have to be an office. I understand that's kind of fucked up that some people have to do their work at a specific spot and some can do it elsewhere, but I don't think the answer to "some people have bad working conditions" should be "everyone should have equally bad working conditions."

im mostly totally sympathetic to people who reorganised their lives to work from home during covid and now have to resist these employers demanding that they get back to working in person and definitely support their efforts. but the part of me whos been working at a supermarket for most of my professional life is like "well... like... part of having a job is going in to the place where the job is..."

It runs 32-bit applications just fine. It's not the lack of a native 32-bit version, which is what they stopped making, that I'm fussed about.

i'm sure this one performative gesture will reinvigorate mac gaming after they killed 32-bit support, deprecated opengl, and made their own graphics thing instead of adopting vulkan
