People think Google is in the business of providing services. They aren't. They're in the business of data collection and their services exist to facilitate that. Useful data dries up, service shuts down, every time. It sounds harsh but people who still use Google services are just setting themselves up to get fucked over.

I fail to see how your first statement has anything to do with my comment.
Not surprising
It's pretty ironic* that you wrote multiple clear, detailed paragraphs explaining why you think you're unintelligent, demonstrating analysis and critical thinking skills as you elucidate your point. You even followed one of the Socratic models. You also undermined your own argument. You're not stupid, you have a low opinion of yourself and I'd bet cash money you're neurodivergent and got fuck all help for it in your entire youth. Not that I'm qualified to armchair diagnose you, but I really think I can tell.
*I know this isn't what irony means
"You don't tolerate Nazis? Perhaps YOU are the REAL Nazis"
Why are you people all the same? Do you get a 50 Cent Army script or something?
Which is almost literally a tale as old as time. This sequence:
- invade another country to take their shit
- oops it's not going so well
- hire mercenaries with no morals to wreck stuff
- don't pay your mercenary bills and/or attack them for being too powerful
- the mercenaries sack your own cities
That's not just modern times, and it's not even just medieval times: I'm pretty sure at least one Assyrian king was deposed that way. People like Putin are doomed to repeat history, it's their lot in life.
No, I'm going to stalk you now.
Also, those cabinets? Really? Not with that backsplash, come on.
I have to disagree with the last point, turning on email verification will do fine at preventing bots, especially since the reason captchas are being removed is that the Lemmy devs say they don't work properly anyway.
It's kind of important, they currently don't work properly anyway and email verification will do the same thing.
It's like when people bitch about having fighter jets fly over a baseball game. We don't rent F-16s from Lockheed every time we want to take one out, they're paid for already, and pilots need training. But I'm sure they're the same kind of people who don't understand why it's useful for military pilots to run drills on things like being in a specific place at a specific speed and making it line up at the exact right time. I say complain all you want about glorification of the military-industrial complex, but don't take the line that it's some atypically expensive cost to the taxpayer.
Reported for landphobia. As a POC (person of collections), this is my Pride Month too.
