Someone needed to press the X on the X.

You can always tell where disinformation is coming from when they don’t allow you to talk about whether what they are saying is or isn’t disinformation. And I say this knowing how draconian some moderators have become regarding handling of disinformation because that ends up fostering an environment of disinformation itself, just one that begins growing as a seed from another recess.

The real threat isn’t good faith discourse, it’s the propaganda disinformation factories that try to turn money into a way to subvert societies by twisting and corrupting social media and the people they convince to leave good faith discourse.

Fortunately for education that it is able to get people to be more than people then. There are things that enable their baser instincts more than others. You won’t read a Charles Dickens novel with emojis.

People don’t realize that gravity is just essentially quantum lag yet? You can’t just add something that’s going to cause more processing and expect it to begin to improve. Then again, the experiment itself was just for confirmation.

Email, an anachronism? Not to the corporate world. What do you think makes it obsolete and or replaces it, in regards to legal, official, and business matters? Is this an experienced opinion, or is it simply something you don’t use because you don’t need to and perhaps somebody does it for you?

I think there is room in the world for an basic HTML service that can be viewed in lynx/links, in no small part due to how it usually means those services can be used by the blind and visually impaired as well under more circumstances.

Where to? I’d love to hear about what basic HTML service you are migrating to … admittedly in no small part due to wanting to see whether it really is a basic HTML service and judge your comment acordingly. There are a lot of people who will hop into hate trains even when they don’t care about the destination.

Case in point. People will smear themselves with shit while being proud of it, while also being able to raise a circlejerk cult on demand, all because of the lowered bar.

Circlejerking purely based on the emotional reactions that the worst qualities of people want to troll and brigade other people with is a toxic motivation for a lot of people, and memes and emojis act as the principal facilitators for it when truth is they have much better alternatives and have had much better alternatives in the written language and iconography in no small part due to the purging of their presence throughout human history. Modern society isn’t the only one who discovered how to draw dicks or smileys onto things, but just like cryptobullshit like NFT is treated seriously now, they seem to think that because it is in a digital modern medium it must be good now.

I have a very simple solution to enshittification: release a series of robotic bees designed to take out anyone who excessively uses memes and emojis, and hire archeologists to find out what tactics where employed to get rid of the meme / emoji scourge when writing and reading became a thing and do it now. Bring back enough intelligence into the reading space where people learn to say with words what they shit on with memes and emojis. This should help restore the signal to noise ratio of previous eras.

I realize it has nothing to do with this submission but I think it would be much more effective.

You can also have your hard drive loaded with child porn locally, and it wouldn’t be any less illegal.

Pretty sure some places do ban carrying weapons like swords and machetes in public. Another thing I’m also sick is people who act like there’s no middle ground or precedent or possibility of nuance by making gross caricatures of things.

DRM and IP laws are basically bans on technology. There would not be any system of law if your logic was taken to the extreme. Things can be done.

If governments can go after child porn, then they can go after the websites generating it and people distributing it.

I’m sort of sick about services that can generate whatever bullshit people ask of them with zero oversight and control, specially when it involves deepfakes. When deepfakes become real enough, societies will just become a race towards distributing the deepfakes that serve whatever passes as the prejudices of the times, and people will eat it up.

It already happens in societies without deepfakes, and even the people who disagree with the mainstream still adopt their perception of things towards the prejudices present in the media of their society that they don’t really become aware off until they try living outside of it for a while.

Deepfakes will become like steroids for creating bubbles of ideology once it is able to cross the uncanny valley territory.

I thought it was pronounced “shitter”.

Now I’m just curious, did he do it to make the company seem like the victim or did he do it because he disagrees with what the executives are doing?

I want to know who hired that fucking CEO

Clearly someone who came from the same line of thinking as Steve Huffman.

I do feel sorry for them. Death threats are not ok in this scenario, boycotts and protests are. Death threats makes them a victim, and this shifts away the discussion from the victims they’ve created. The people making death threats as well as those who do not condemn them are helping support Unity indirectly.

Damnit, now my liver is going to just have to learn to get by with just being more healthy.

Even if Google isn’t out to exploit this, basically the people running the ads can. John Oliver sort of did this, but geographically: https://youtu.be/wqn3gR1WTcA?si=GBKBNrQ-x0QKvwBh&t=1390

This will expose your user data. This will allow you to get targeted, and it will allow you to get targeted for long term interests versus short term ones. God forbid someone with a political agenda ever decides to act on this data …

Never mind, if your previous comments hinted at it, this later comment has done a full reveal of it. Welcome to the block list.
