I wonder what his motivation for being Rich is cos it looks
like he doesn't even enjoy the sensation of being alive, ive
never seen someone so thoroughly at odds with their own
humanity

was it zuck who started out with a hotornot-style site to
rate his classmates? he's a bag of diseased meat collecting
selfie slaves to feed on. he's cumming blood and syphilis in
the face of the world

ive said it b4 but it needs repeating and repeating:
"social media" is a bigger branding con than tobacco being
advertised as good for you. Call these things what they are:
ADVERTISING PLATFORMS, or, probably more accurately
PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION PLATFORMS.

The fact that you probably wouldn't say this for fear of
sounding like a nutter says it all, yet it is all
demonstrably true, and has been repeatedly, exhaustively
demonstrated. Whole bookcases of books written about it.

I'm gonna get a placard and stand by a main road, see how
many beeps i get
seriously though, no point going off on one about it unless
there are viable alternatives, and right now, there aren't.
That's pretty fucking amazing, too.

devs had better get their shit together cos it wont be long
b4 we have to have our identities tied to our social media
accounts (see Priti Patel), and it's already barely possible
to not have a social media account. Then combine that with
COVID passports, and in ten years we'll have a fucking
social credit system like China's

i think part of what's changed is the caliber of folk using
the internet. the military networks all GTFO so originally
it's just a bunch of academics playing with computer. then
it's anyone who is not only with it enough to know it
exists, but savvy enough to get online. then it's AOL and
anyone can do it but they're in a little toy internet. then
eternal september and plumbers with an IQ of room
temperature are infuriating usenet

the original few waves -- the academics, the nerds running
ratio FTP servers when cable modems hit -- they knew. they
knew myspace sold ads and lol fuck them. never took it too
serious. just had a laugh and made stupid myspace pages with
shit javascript flourish

now instagram is $$$ and people take it seriously as cancer;
what's changed is the amount of people who are intellectual
paperweights available to be exploited for an IPO that's
overhypeflated to fraudulent levels

that's part of why i like this place. none of them can get
in here

yeah it's nice and all, but it can and does go down, what
then?
i bet every single person here is hosting several orders of
magnitude the amount of storage required for the DB of this
forum,as stuff shared on slsk... and bandwidth and storage
space is only increasing - what will it be in ten years?
Add on to that the original developers have gone away, the
search function no longer works, ppl may want a different
skin, etc. .. centralised things are ridiculous.
All those websites would immediately bite the dust if people
were able to easily host their own content (and get ad
revenue etc. from it)... it would be how i imagined the
internet when i first went on it aged 12 - servers in ur
pocket - and you'll be able to do that too in ten years,
hopefully

we need to lean into that AOL 'eternal September' thing and
take it to it's ultimate endpoint, i think... If our fucking
lightbulbs can potentially be a botnet, then why not the
rest of us.
