It still sucks at giving notifications on time.

and I am sure it’s possible to put a political spin on almost anything if you want The US is demonstrating that right now. Everything is over politicised these days.

In the United States (at least) the whole point of a free press is to keep politicians in check. You can’t separate the news from politics.

Well yeah, if they were truly going to follow the “don’t be evil” motto they’d have to give up capitalism, which ain’t gonna happen.

That’s where my mind goes as well. I am more so talking about unforseen concerns. Don’t get me wrong. As soon as it is widely available and affordable I will totoaly eat it, I just worry there might be something we are missing. It’s kind of a human tradition.

Yes and technology has gotten a lot better too. The younger generation has had technology that more or less “just works.” They didn’t have to learn how to troubleshoot just to be able to use it as intended like previous generations have had to.

The problem now is that these more recent platforms worked to make themselves harder to replace, so when it came time to replace them, there was more resistance.

Things have become more centralized and people just want tech to work. So when things like the fediverse need patients while “stuff gets worked out” they are not used to it.
