yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.
The technological innovations of the last fifteen years, from advertising enshittifcation to AI cheating, have largely been a disaster. We are sadly at the point where, as Ted Gioia says, “most so-called innovations are now anti-progress by any honest definition.” I dare say that if we could revert all digital technology to where it was in 2009 – before the invention of the retweet – we’d all be better off.
I’d go back even further (to 2007) before the invention of the iPhone. The smartphone has, arguably, IMO been a bad, or at least premature invention. It created a generation of kids obsessed with their photographies, giving girls eating disorders and creating/spreading unrealistic beauty ideals, etc… Also it has severely disrupted teenagers’ social living, created sleeping disorders, chronic doomscrolling, addiction, and more bad stuff. The iPhone was, IMO, not ready for this world.
Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.
I was going to upvote but then:
Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.
Please stop the corporate garbage talk/pitching bullshit. Can’t we have a normal discussion without these buzzwords?
So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.
There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)
isn’t that why the hippie movement ended?
also some minor mental illnesses
I don’t like to call it “mental illnesses” because it makes it look like it’s a property of the person; however, it is a property of society:
I think it depends on your stance towards authoritarianism. Dogs follow commands, cats do not.
What is it with the urge to eat these things, I wonder…
Very interesting read.
I also like how, at the end, it changed perspective to say “actually, our problem is not software, but politics”.
We must be aware of what agents we encourage and discourage through our actions.
It’s true. I haven’t used recipes for cooking since a long time; I basically improvize every time.
honestly good point; such a thing should exist
solar panels will do a lot to reduce the problem of climate change significantly.
I’m saying this because I see a lot of young people having depression due to climate doomerism, and realizing there’s an effective strategy that can be physically implemented helps a lot.
correlation does not imply causality, mind you
something something “suffering builds character” smh
and keep eating the foods that you know give you inflammation
fucking wheat. I knew it was bad for like since my childhood, only stopped eating large quantities of it a year ago, when i finally got my shit together and converted to a mostly rice-based diet.
Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.
