  Yeah and with everything thats happening. It will be the usual slowly boiling the frog approach all the inflation / price gouging / shrinkflation has taken this far.

  Currently they’re already doing it, it’s just a little bit slower and less dynamic: Goal, increase price by 25%

  Step 1. Reduce package contents by 33% and provide a coupon for a reduced price by 25%

  Step 2. Slowly oscilate the coupon from not available to being a less reduction in price.

  Step 3: profit – Increasing the total profit to vary between 8% and 33% more depending on the day.

  This example was taken from the new 8 can la croixs, but plenty of other examples. It’s just items that have a fixed size / quantity are harder to shrinkflate. Other stuff just reduce the weight a little at a time.

  Rotisserie chicken for only $16.99*

  *Surge pricing may apply. (At 6pm we add $4 to the price of our rotisserie chicken because…we can.)

  Yeah, the writing is on the wall when it comes to digital pricing of grocery store products. The only way to fight this will be to refuse to shop at places that do it. Or get legislation to regulate it, but good luck getting that to happen, or even enforcing it. Especially with the current administration being bought and paid for by corporations… Sadly it’s doubtful we’ll get enough people boycotting it, especially since at first they’ll just keep the prices the same, when we need to be boycotting the store the moment it happens.

  Then when they start switching to changing the pricing dynamically the digital price tags will already be installed across all their stores and there won’t be any way to protest against it besides going to a completely different retailer that doesn’t do it. If that’s even an option, which for the poorest or least capable people, it likely won’t be.

  Surge pricing, coming to your dozen eggs at a corporate grocery store near you.

  I don’t think the government should get to control what apps, websites, etc… we can and can’t use to communicate with our fellow humans.

  Strengthen data privacy laws. Algorithm transparency laws. Look at gdpr and TikTok being sued for sending their data back to China. Etc…

  Just such a bad precedent though.

  Good read. Self hosting and owning your own brand, domain, identity, etc… Is the future. Also to be clear, most people only need some simple HTML to properly share what they have to say.

  Yet another enshittification service.

  Enshittification is reallybjust another way to say bait and switch.

  It was worth it. Finally cut the cord and got 6 12tb hdds. In raid 6 with zfs. Working so great.

  Just make sure you setup zfs to do monthly scans and email you for issues. One of my drives kept throwing errors and had to RMA it.

  Great! Competition is wonderful.

  To be fair, I think the true heart of steamos (besides arch and just being great) is what they’ve done for proton, which all of these alternative distros benefit greatly from and make them feasible. It’s like X or Wayland. Proton is just foundational (thank you wine) to gaming on Linux being successful. So even if they don’t spend the time to support other handhelds running steamos, they really are with what they’ve done with proton.

  I like tidal. Switched to them from Spotify and have been very happy. Feels like tidal treats artists better and has some lossless quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Callisto Protocol’s action-roguelike spin-off is to Hades what the sci-fi horror shooter was to Dead Space⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I even missed the reference of the Callisto Protocol being a horror shooter akin to dead space. Makes more sense now. ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Callisto Protocol’s action-roguelike spin-off is to Hades what the sci-fi horror shooter was to Dead Space⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed terrible. Tldr: In the same way that dead space defined a genre of horror shooters, Hades defined a class of rogue likes. The makers of calysto protocol are using that formula in a new game codenamed project Birdseye.

  And it looks fun!
