I think decades of minimalist, 'intuitive' interfaces that abstract what's going on in the background have made us too lazy to go beyond the bare minimum to switch platforms in general.
A common criticism I saw of the fediverse was the fact that you have to decide on an instance. As if any significant part of your life doesn't require a certain amount of research before making a decision. We all just buy the car that the dealership tells us to buy, of course.
I remember reading a book that talked about public spaces and how we often think of malls as public spaces, but they have so many restrictions and ulterior motives that it doesn't really hold.
They're essentially the irl equivalent of centralised social media platforms. I hope once the fediverse really takes off, we can have 'official' platforms/instances that are run by governments that federate only to other 'official' ones. That seems like a better way to reach people, instead of Xitter.
Fr, I thought I hated Lumon before, but now there's no happy ending other than it all burning down.
As a fellow weed moment haver, this is one of the good ones.
Same with movies, like how the Venom movies have higher Rotten Tomatoes scores with each installment, despite getting worse as they went along.
Tbf, there is often a proportional reward (multiple seasons of good TV being quite a bit longer than the movies that get good).
Also, with how pacing, budgets and casts work in the industry, a movie often ends up having more in terms of emotional investment and new information than an equivalent length of TV. So the effort to watch a movie is not the same as watching an hour and a half of TV (on average).
Thanks! I use Photoshop mainly, though I only have a rudimentary idea of how most of the tools work.
Fair point, I'll make some tweaks.
