There’s a lot to not like here.

the new snipping-tool is neat

yes I know if you look hard enough you can find legacy panels

In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don't allow to change certain settings.

while still being the best comedians

can you recommend some?

It has been garbage SEO stuff for a while.

garbabe SEO has been there since almost the beginning. More recently google started to promote sites base on their profitableness.

Remember when you could suppress sites from Google search results? Due to "unknowable reasons", they got rid of that feature. Enshittification is real.

is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can flourish.

I am pretty sure, churches were "tolerated spaces" bevor e2ee was a thing.

However you will now have rodent problems

soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It's generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.

here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems

Yeah, but you aren’t driving that fast in Germany

Maybe you should read that link too, and maybe a few others before making such statements.

I am familiar with the idea of communism. I am making an explicit counter pointer to the idea of "pure communism".

The whole idea of anarchism and communism is to abolish hierarchy. Things being the way they are now doesn’t mean it is inevitable for them to always be like this.

That is a good point actually. But the observation of hierarchy is very very strong (both in humans and in animals). You would need a very strong argument to counter it, which I am not seeing.

It says more about you

... that's not a strong argument. That's just a thinly veiled insult.

how much you have to unlearn of your indoctrination (as well as how powerful and successful it is) that you can’t see beyond it

Are you asking me to have faith? Or is there some evidence for your argument?

there will always be a power imbalance. Maybe the divide will not be financial, but there are plenty of other ways for people to gain power over others. During revolutions the divide will often be about how loyal you are to the cause, i.e. people who appear more loyal to the revolution, will have power over people who are less loyal.

I think the article forgot the "Individualization of Responsibility"-talking point.

“When responsibility for environmental problems is individualized, there is little room to ponder institutions, the nature and exercise of political power, or ways of collectively changing the distribution of power and influence in society — to, in other words, ‘think institutionally.’”
