- Comment on Humans share the web equally with bots, report warns amid fears of ‘dead internet’ 6 months ago:
I suspect there will still be online interactions with humans, just more interactions with bots. Unfortunately, it’s the humans behind the mess. Even if we pass laws to stop it (or even forced labels of “I’m a bot” on bot accounts), some people won’t play by the rules. So the change is going to happen. We can try to persuade the public, but we know how well that works:

So change means “dying”? So every time a tadpole evolves into a frog, a tadpole dies? Should we have protest signs that read, “DEATH TO ALL FROGS!”?
- Comment on Humans share the web equally with bots, report warns amid fears of ‘dead internet’ 6 months ago:
Bots are increasing. But the Internet is not dead/dying, just changing. Many of the “The 10 bots are posting a total of 1000 times a day.” are repost bots merely parroting human generated content.
I wonder, though, if this will cause the scrapers to be impacted by the reposters or other AI generated content.
- Comment on Humans share the web equally with bots, report warns amid fears of ‘dead internet’ 6 months ago:
But is the Internet dying? The thing it doesn’t say is if the human participation is dwindling.
To keep it simple, I’ll work with small numbers. Imagine there are 10 humans online. Now imagine 1 bot on online. Bots are 10% of this imaginary online community. A year later, those same 10 humans are still online, but there are now 10 bots online; the bots are 50% of the community. This statistic can lead you to think there is less human participation when nothing happened to the humans. The difference is the raw number of bots.
X/Twitter is dying because of mismanagement.

- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 8 months ago:
“Windows 7 appears to still be running on at least 100 million machines, despite Microsoft ending support for the operating system a year ago”

Maybe the landfill won’t be overstuffed as quickly as expected.

It’s a dwindling effect, not just instant abandonment.

I just wanted to point out that this image is for the ladies and jants in the crowd.
- Comment on 10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. 8 months ago:
Insulted? Vines videos were mostly portrait. 2013-2014 were most-likely its hay day. Vines is dead now, but cell phone videos in portrait were posted to Vines a lot.

" As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever.”
It’s also a stationary battery
