  • “Fuck shit up for a many people as possible” isn’t sustainable. Gandhi and Martin Luther knew that. If it weren’t for the number of downvotes people are getting for even hinting that this isn’t the right way to do things, I would think this is actually a psyop from the other side to put people off towards Palestine.

    Like just stop oil is actually run by oil companies to recruit the most extreme left people that think sitting in the road is doing anything more than pissing the average person off and giving right wing media material to hate you.

    But nope, people really are this stupid. On both sides. Both want to divide so strongly, because if people actually got along we would start addressing issues instead of bitching online about what you hate about the other side.







  • The McDonalds here had an AI prompt for like a week. I don’t care because all I need to do is say the number for my mobile order and it was faster. But everyone over 30 would be screaming and yelling shit about “who are you”, “what’s happening”, “am I supposed to talk now?”. I still get stuck behind old people that struggle with actual humans at the drive thru.

    General technological competence is so far behind what can be offered to consumers. People are the bottle neck, look at bear proof trash can designs. And I don’t think it’s getting better like it was. With the internet now packaged into 2 click apps, the majority of kids are just doing that instead of getting into FOSS and Linux like the majority of the early 2000s internet users.




  • I honestly don’t know. It’s going to have to be some peer system. If and what takes off I don’t know yet, but I’m watching and want to know. It’s going to be some peer based infrastructure. Just looking at the phones everyone carries, you got like 256gb of storage, 2 thru 5g, Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, all this wireless connection, and the processing to back it up. It needs to be easy as torrenting was in 2005, we need to make the infrastructure and UI easy for everyone, then a p2p or i2p whatever can take off.


  • We need to decentralized the internet. The technology is widely available to regular people, it even already exists in the new tech your average person is just buying in a regular consumer devices. Centralized hardwire networks have had a great run for 40 or so years, but the freedom they offered was bound to get regulated by those that need to stay in control or hurt their ego.

    Wireless mesh networks are only happening in a very tiny niche, will that take off the same way internet did pre2000s or will everyone take the easy dopamine.

    I don’t know when exactly it happened, maybe it was a slow creep, but steam sales no longer mean anything. Just put games that you actually want on your wishlist and wait a year for it to go on sale once, maybe twice in a year. They used to have really good games going for less than $10 and I could buy a few that I had zero intention of buying. I’m a big boy, I don’t have to pirate, I’m willing to pay $30 for a handful of games I know I will play eventually.

    Now it’s a handful of seemingly corporately predetermined sellers. I’ll pay for games and media, if you make it cheap and easy. Oh well, cracked games run faster anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯
