Where did you hear this?

quickly finding a new partner you are ideally matched with is the very last thing these companies want you to do.

Exactly. That’s the gamification. They want to keep you grinding against bots and employees, otherwise they won’t make money.

EDIT:

I’ll add that men are probably the customer here, and that might make women seem like the product, the company can actually swap out real women for bots and employees, making real women obsolete to the business model of dating apps.

How so?

I’m a man who originally met women on these apps, but after a certain point everybody seemed to be a bot and the app seemed to be completely gamified, even when I used paid apps. Other people might have different experiences.

I liked Locke and Peaky Blinders.

This can’t be real.

OK I love the idea of making it adjustable. I’m suddenly aware of my posture.

Do people really use those standup desks? Can you get work done that way?

I love Envelope. It’s a weird mystery story in an open-world little town, where you’re mysteriously given an ominous mission and there are many ways to try to achieve it, and many ways to fail. It’s super fun.

As an adult I’ve had enough stomach aches, and gained enough belly fat, and developed enough of a palette, to viscerally dislike eating lots of cake.

Dude was extremely governable in his prison cell. They governed the living fuck outta him. They governed his brains out.

No weird config at all. I love the Debian experience specifically because it gets out of your way and I don’t have to jump through any hoops. But then they release a new version, I do the massive scary upgrade, and it just stops working. It happened a few times, so I just don’t do it anymore.

I love EndeavourOS. It’s easily the most stable Linux experience I’ve had.

Every time I do a point release upgrade on Debian the whole system breaks. It’s so smooth until that point, but if I have to reinstall the OS anyway then I’m going back to EndeavourOS (which is what I’m using now)

entrapment bullshit

Yeah they’re creating a crime to catch people at. Aren’t there real crimes out there to solve?

Well it’s something like entrapment. They’re just creating fake crimes to catch people. It’s like making a robot who antagonizes a pedestrian until the pedestrian assaults the robot, and then charging the pedestrian with assault even though it was a non-feeling robot.

I found an article that backs this up. Still not sure precisely what the crime is. Theft, I guess?
