From what I understand, the quality of uploads is already limited presumably because they can't afford better servers with no income.

Adding better quality uploads at a price is adding a feature, not degrading an existing one.

Right. There's a difference between enshitification and adding features that just aren't free.

This is the way. The constant bickering over the concept of "liberal" vs "actual left" is as exhausting as it is mostly futile.

Coming from someone who always votes left down the ticket because I live in a republican state hell hole:

There's a reason we want democrats in charge. They aren't perfect, but my state had a democrat governor (somehow) for 8 years until this year. The very first thing the supermajority red government did was axe the ethics board. The next thing they did was pass laws banning books that acknowledged gay culture at all and a unilateral bathroom bill with felony penalties.

The "both sides are the different flavors of fascism" take only works when you're completely blind to what republicans are actually out there doing.

I think it's not necessarily a contradiction to hold your pro-choice and anti-death penalty stance, but it's still a contradiction to hold the pro-life and pro-death penalty stance if your reasoning behind the pro-life stance is that all life is sacred.

I agree that a person's body autonomy and the state's power to execute citizens should not overlap, but I still think that giving the "all life is sacred" line to justify pro-life and then being pro-death penalty "because some people deserve to die" amounts to hypocrisy.

Sure but demoncrats are having post birth abortions and controlling hurricanes and rigging elections and causing my taco bell dinner to cost more! So what's the problem with stopping blue haired nymphos from killing babies?

-The average conservative voter

Turns out you can get away with a lot of blatantly evil things if you just convince your entire voter base that the only reliable news source is a Republican owned "entertainment" propaganda outlet

A "boys club" scandal a couple years ago where the male higher-ups only hired women who would tolerate being sexually abused. Some ex-employees described it as "company culture" that propagated for a decade or more. There was an investigation after some women spoke out that led to a lawsuit, several top level managers being fired, and a couple CEOs being scrutinized really hard.

All of this is off the top of my head and maybe somewhat inaccurate, but that's the gist of it.

Edit: Here's an article for you

Assuming bad faith over anyone who disagrees with you

libs are so cruel and violent

This is what leftist lemmy actually is. Voices of reason being underscored by the very same bad faith assumptions from a "morally superior" position.

All so you can feel better about the fact that people with your moral standing have zero power here while the rest of us actually try to keep this country from going tits up.

Do you honestly think the people you label as libs want genocide?

Well if you're so smart, how are they going to track your location otherwise?

I don't have first-hand experience, but from what I understand the way they make money off of those tablet screens they put in cars is by licensing proprietary software that other companies want you to have no choice but to use. That's why models with no screens are disappearing from the major car makers
