i bet it was bc of me

You totally made this from my recent comment didn't you:

Right exactly. A "community" like /r/conservative can't really exist on the Fediverse in the same way because it's current function depends on outsiders to engage with.

I started off strongly disagreeing but you make a good point. I think I would honestly be "happy" to see something like /r/conservative move to a decentralized platform (though that might be a bad example because it's purpose is more of a propoganda-spreader than a true "community").

If we're getting upset by canonical inconsistencies I have to wonder what bothers you about the Discovery Klingons specifically when I see no mention of the significantly more comprehensive "reimagining" of the TMP (or later the TNG) Klingons? Just seems like an odd place to draw the line.

It was two years...

Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.

Also don't overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.

I agree, like I said I fully own that I was being pedantic over definitions.

Yeah absolutely, and woo pedantry that's on me for oversimplifying. I do recall reading (I can't find it right now) an essay where he said that "enshittification" as he describes it can happen in any situation where an entity has trapped both consumers and businesses but that it's more common with tech companies because they move faster than regulations do.

things simply getting worse doesn’t fit my understanding,

fwiw I totally agree but if I may play an uno-reverse-pedantry card on you, Cory has said he doesn't care if someone uses the word to simply mean "gets shitty".

As long as we agree that the term "enshittification" describes a failure of capitalism (and not it's "MO").

I know Cory Doctorow (who coined the term) has said that he doesn't mind if people use the term "enshittification" to simply mean "product gets worse", but the definition he gave it specifically refers to anti-capitalistic practices (what he calls "technofeudalism").

"Enshittificiation" as described by Doctorow hurts businesses too. "Capitalism" definitionally implies the presence of a competitive market. "Enshittification" (like you said nothing new) describes what happens when a market is no longer competitive because it controlled by a single entity (monopoly). "Enshittification" happens when the government stops enforcing laws that protect free markets and allow capitalism to break down.

Sorry for being a pedant but I see those words gets thrown around a lot in ways that IMO can muddle the meaning.

I don't think starfleet captains have the authority to command the hearts and minds of their officers.
