Here is a post about the “enshitification” of modern life I found on Gab that is worth sharing.

@RealBlairCottrell

4h · AU · Last week I spoke with a mate of mine who does computer software engineering.

He’s been doing that for a while so out of curiosity I asked him, “What’s the best computer I could buy these days?”

“Windows?” He asked.

“Yeah.”

He told me they’re basically all the same thing.

“You could spend $500 or $5000, you’re only paying more for better components. The system is essentially the same.”

“What do you mean?” I asked. “Obviously a $5k PC would run better than a $500 laptop.”

“It would run better.” He agreed. “But the base operating system is the same. It’s the same machine, just with different components.”

He went on:

“They’ve been the same machines for around 25 years. There’s been no major breakthrough since then, everything just got shrunk down and components became more efficient, but in essence all computers functionally operate the same way they did when we were 10 or 15 years old.”

“We don’t create anything anymore. We just remake trendy, cost-effective emulations of what was new 25 years ago.”

While driving home I kept replaying in my mind what he’d said to me, because I sensed there was something profound in it.

After a couple days I realised what he’d said pertained to literally everything.

I thought about what life was like 20-25 years ago. I recalled films like the Lord of The Rings trilogy and the Star Wars prequels, then compared the brilliant originality of ‘back then’ to the crude emulations of the same recycled stories sold by Hollywood today.

“Cost-effective” but insipid and lifeless copies.

I looked at my phone and realised it’s essentially the same phone I’ve had for about 20 years now. The cameras are better but every ‘new phone model’ is the same one as before with minor component updates.

The food was another example. 25 years ago what we ate wasn’t predominantly vegetable oil and carcinogenic additives. Now everything will make you sick, because it’s all a “cost-effective” mass produced copy of the real food we used to eat.

But the big realisation came when I paid attention to the people themselves.

If you stop and look around at ordinary consumers in any major shopping centre or supermarket, you can’t deny they’re typically very fat, disabled or retarded, if not then they’re Indian, Black or Chinese.

25 years ago this wasn’t the norm. People were relatively healthy and White. Immigrants and visibly handicapped people were something well & truly out of the ordinary.

The quality of the Western peasantry had suffered the same fate as our film, literature and technology. They were seized upon by merchants who halted their development in order to refine them into a crude but more profitable emulation of their original form.

They had been made “cost-effective”.

If you’ve read this far that old Christian proverb ought to come into focus: the love of money being the root of all evil.

Some Iranian accounts on x and others closely linked to Iran claim that it's now raining again in Iran after they hit radar stations in the vassal state of UAE (Abu Dhabi/Dubai).

Iran suffered from severe unprecedented droughts in the last years while UAE enjoyed unprecedented rainfall. This could be due to cloud seeding in UAE or coincidence but the fact that some Iranian accounts link it to radars is interesting. Some of these radars could function like HAARP but without needing vast arrays like HAARP. Iran hit the radars for military purposes not related to weather but were surprised it started raining after they were hit.

Just thought I'd pass it on here. You can make of it whatever you want.

Some of the "sources" below. These of course are just claims without proof but I can hardly imagine anyone being able to "prove" this for a multitude of reasons.

Research indicates that summers in Australia are experiencing significant lengthening due to climate change. While specific statistics vary by location, major cities including Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra have all shown a measurable increase in the duration of summer-like temperatures. Recent studies highlight that some Australian cities have seen summers extend by over 30 days compared to mid-20th-century benchmarks.

Reason for Oversight: The island was difficult to distinguish from drifting icebergs in satellite imagery due to its ice cover. Additionally, historical maps placed its location roughly 1.15 miles (1.82 km) from its actual coordinates.
