Elmo’s wellness check uncovers existential dread and despair on social media, nobody's ok right now
All the "Sesame Street" Muppet wanted to know was how everyone is doing. Spoiler alert: Nobody's OK right now.

how would we be?
i'm gonna list a few things:
- war in europe
- genocide in gaza
- everything is a subscription
- appliances are made to fail now
- phone manufacturers blindly follow apple's horrible decisions
- housing market is going to hell
- general enshittification of every service
- cars are getting worse every day, be it the phasing out of ICEs in favour of EVs that have no hope of lasting even 20 years (that one may be fixed until 2035), the general reliability problems or the ugly designs.
- Windows is actively getting more invasive and even less private, although linux is looking very promising
- the political right is getting more drastic, and it seems to be working for them
edit:
- global warming, i forgor
i am not surprised
Global warming is kind of a big one to not list...
No no no, our pocket computers becoming too much like another company's pocket computers definitely is a bigger issue! Get your priorities straight!
thats just part of a general trend of everything we care about enshittifying.
i dont blame them, i used to love tech and now i despise most of it.
you're right, i did forget that one.
don't forget all the layoffs happening despite already being overworked, understaffed, and bombarded with RTO propaganda
You forgot "on track for a 10c rise by the end of the century"
Well damn, Windows gets invasive and I am DONE
Welcome to Linux. Pick a flavor.
Or all the flavors.
Yeah, I was joking. I have used Linux as my primary desktop since 1999… I didn’t trust Windows XP.
I grew up on red hat…. I remember XP being the weird thing with the funny buttons I used for games.
Holy first world problems, batman!
