@p @PurpCat @ins0mniak Not a bad read.

I disagree that he kind of implies that it’s some kind of natural force that is causing all this division, but he quickly course corrects. I do think this is not entirely natural, that forces (whom/whatever they may be) are helping to drive this division.

While money certainly plays a critical role here I don’t think it’s the only factor. Sure, money is important. Yes, media companies like money, and everyone likes attention (which in a lot of cases directly translates into monetary gain). But like he mentions in the article we used to get along generally fine before. At least we could generally agree to not attack someone not directly involved. We can’t even do that anymore. I could probably speculate forever on the why. Perhaps another day.

I could be missing something though because this will be the first time in a long time I’ve read something this long; my ability to read already being severely impaired by sub-par education and a lack of desire to engage in the medium.

>And this is a big reason that Twitter went from “shitty” to “completely intolerable”: Twitter decided it was Important and then they started pushing out people that didn’t want to engage in whatever the news outlets or advertisers or activist mobs wanted them to engage in. I mean that’s kind of anywhere anymore right?

>demanding that some ethical board start controlling the process of software engineering because what if injustice. I am getting flashbacks to motherboard/mainboard and master/slave. The most descriptive and accurate words aren’t okay because racism. Not to mention the whole discussion was fucking retarded and gay. Probably fake too.
