It might be your wife, but it might also be ladies clothing that is to blame. As guys we get nice big jean pockets to keep our phones in, ladies just get tiny useless pockets if they even exist, which is why the phone is in the jacket pocket instead, and way less secure than jeans because the opening is likely at the side, not the top.

My dad used to keep his phone in his chest pocket on his shirt, and lost it in water twice. Once leaning over the toilet and it dropped in, the other leaning over a lake when he was fishing. RIP.

Where you store your phone when not in use makes a big difference lol.

But then strangely a high proportion of over 50s at the same time!

I had so many good times on forums back in the day.

The personal nature of them was great for being social and making friends, but it was also good for the quality of the content for and user behaviour too.

When everyone recognises you and remembers your past behaviour, people put effort into creating a good reputation for themselves and making quality posts. It's like living in a small village versus living in a city.

The thought of being banned back then genuinely filled people with dread, because even if you could evade it (which many people couldn't as VPNs were barely a thing) you'd lose your whole post history and personal connection with people, and users did cherish those things.

Super wholesome manga about an amazing teacher who guides a bunch of misfits to overcome their own weaknesses, grow as individuals, and learn to work together

But yeah sure its got guns and panties so it's obviously bad right ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The answer is very much "Don't run Photoshop"

Strong rizz in that second one

This is the most RPG-ass sword ever. I presume it deals damage as water elemental rather than physical.

Not quite, I don't think. Enshittification is driven by profit motive, which means if there's no money at all involved, then there's no motive.

I guess you chose your words carefully though because the terms 'product' and 'service' pretty much imply that money is involved somewhere there.

Totally. There's really no point in using anything /except/ per capita!

The worrying truth is that we are all going to be subject to these sorts of false correlations and biases and there will be very little we can do about it.

You go to buy car insurance, and find that your premium has gone up 200% for no reason. Why? Because the AI said so. Maybe soneone with your name was in a crash. Maybe you parked overnight at the same GPS location where an accident happened. Who knows what data actually underlies that decision or how it was made, but it was. And even the insurance company themselves doesn't know how it ended up that way.
