Just as short and not as inappropriate.
unrelatedkeg@lemmy.sdf.orgto Memes@lemmy.ml•I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.52·1 year agoHonest question: What are the alternstives?
I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.
Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.

Good riddance, then just don’t.
Complaining in and of itself isn’t bad. Hell, a bug report is a complaint and it’s very much useful. As are feature requests. Whining definitely isn’t good, but complaints can and often are useful, warranted and lead to a positive outcome
unrelatedkeg@lemmy.sdf.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives1·1 year agoNot only are they insanely long, MS strategically doesn’t follow its own specs in places so other software using the specs “fuck up formatting” even if they follow MS’s specs perfectly.
unrelatedkeg@lemmy.sdf.orgto Libre Culture@lemmy.ml•Welcome to the public domain, Mickey Mouse5·1 year agoIt is just Steamboat Willie in the pubkic domain now, including Mickey Mouse as a character, although newer Disney interpretstions of the characters (like gloves) are still under protection. And while Disney can use the original Steamboat Willie as a trademark and protect it through a different avenue, as time goes on they’ll inevitably lose their grip on the character.
Trademarks don’t have an expiration date - they can be used indefinitely, but they have to be actively used, otherwise they lose their protection. But Disney also can’t trademark all the iterstions on Mickey, so some of it will inevitably still seep into the public domain.

While he did name a few people and cut ties, I don’t see the people named couldn’t stand up with him after being named. It seems as if they really support the war crimes in Gaza.
What if the bank decides to keep all $1.000 and loan out $10.000? While money wasn’t printed, phantom money was most definitely conjured out of thin air. And with the magic I don’t see how a bank couldn’t have, say, bought Disney with the phantom dollars
So they’re not charging anything?
