Or, the internet, the same medium upon which the noisome roots of social media depend, has some induced self-selection bias for increasing connectivity. It’s basically behaving like a weird superorganism and advocating for conditions to make it grow. At, I might add, the expense of the host species.

The Romans devalued their currency too. It’s an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you’re doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.

All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It’s indefensible.

…and it happened in a vacuum, just all by itself.

Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don’t make me laugh any harder than you already have or I’ll need to go see a doctor for free.

Imagine how much more successful any given business might be by simply… ignoring Twitter.

Doesn’t America also have near universal healthcare then

Lol wut. Not even remotely.

I’m from the 90s Internet. Geocities. Tripod. Webrings. My awesome gothy co-worker staying late after work to update her vampire fan-fiction site because hardly anyone had a computer and the boss let her use the company’s windows 95 machine.

We are categorically lazier as a culture now than then. I expect things to enshittify further until we collectively take responsibility and accountability for our own culture, engagement and entertainment online. As we used to. We need more stupid web tricks, this place used to have all sorts of public art and weird monuments to human quirkiness.

Until they take away from us the ability to purchase a 10$ domain, use DNS, and make HTML forbidden knowledge, anyone can be out there contributing. I realize, however, that most will not; I’ve recently started getting wide eyed stares of amazement because I have my own domain and use it for my email address, so we seem to be sliding further…

Not sure how we fix this.

Bye bye internet. Hello splinternet.

Lol any hacker tossing “bro” around in conversation immediately gets a downgrade from black (or white) hat to “propeller beanie”.

Scratch that; anyone trying to sound serious about anything does.

Those 5G Conspiracy Theorists probably feel vindicated after reading this lol

I rather think they will be let down, given we’re on wifi 7, not 5G, and also no injected nanites were involved.

Our very own economic Butlerian jihad.

Thirded. All three (Linux, FF, nexus)

ZERO ISSUES.

I see we’re putting the crypto in cryptofascist.

Or maybe it’s the other way around.

Something something Venn diagram is a circle something.

Yeah, like, why learn how to split the atom if all we can do is splode stuff. It’s not like we can cure cancer or power things without emitting planet killing gasses or anything.

Talk about incentivizing us to make even more impactful kill switches!

Have you considered what drinking from that well is doing to your mental gut flora?

Wait, google does searches now too? Wow they have a service for everything.

Uh…the “badge of honor” would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.

Today, a ban is the “conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead”.

Canadian. I’ve divested 100% of my meagre savings out of us stocks. USA is not a reliable trading partner, or a leader in anything anymore except deceit.
