The internet can mostly die as far as I’m concerned. Just roll it back to file servers again, or something like gemspace. But being able to talk with people across cultures, borders freely is really important. It’s a tragedy that all these people will be hurt by the dystopification of the web. The new web needs to have a safe way to converse socially that is safe and easy enough to use for lay people. I have so much more to say on this, but real life is calling so I’ll leave it at this.
I don’t really get your point about markets though. I’m genuinely trying to understand, so bear with me. This is what I got from your post:
Our market has coexisted with an extremely fast global communication network for decades now. Given that the market feels like a quite organic thing, on what authority is the market not meant to coexists with the internet?
I think that internet access is restricted because of technological constraints, a technological lag in rolling out higher speed infrastructure, and a the lack of demand for that access which is driven by technological and practical constraint. Some complex function of those factors haha. Still, I don’t really know what you are trying to get across.

It took me an embarrassingly long to get the joke. I forgot what the original thread was.

Everyday the internet gets a little worse. I hate it here in this technological hellscape. I have more to say, but this bullshit makes me so so tired. Goodnight.
- Comment on Child’s Play: Tech’s new generation and the end of thinking 6 days ago:
After contemplating on this: These companies that seek to eliminate thinking, spit in the face of agency. They call themselves agentic yet seek seek to kill all agency and authenticity in the users of their products which is contemptible enough.
We should all be more like Donald Boat.
If we can’t change the material conditions that let these losers play with money and toys then we can at least hold them in cultural contempt.
- Comment on Child’s Play: Tech’s new generation and the end of thinking 6 days ago:
A bit long, but well written. It read like a novel, quite enjoyable.
What a fucking world
A world of non-thinkers
At least Donald Boat found some wisdom.

You are right my friend. But i’m afraid that this might be at odds with annonimity online. These micro communities might look a lot like this, just more restrictive on the user registration side.
I can imagine that we may have a federated community of human verified forums. Where you have to go to the computer club at least once to get a forum account.
Anyways, the death of online truth and authenticity gives us a tremendous opportunity to reinvent what online contact should look like. But inevitably, it will be more outside and less online I think.

Yes it sort of feels like online ecosystem collapse. Between all the insincerity, ads and slop. Very few online places feel alive :(

Yes AI is utter shite at poetry. Its the only proof of humanity I can convey over text except for swearing to show that I’m not a sterile soulless corporate autocomplete taking the space of valuable human interaction.

Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here with you all. I’m pretty sure most of you are real so let’s enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!
As the internet lay dying I wondered if I should be crying A great gift to mankind is losing it’s mind
Should we should stay? Say the friends we made along the way
Who are we without web? But who, is the web without the we?
Even as we grief and leave
Remember.
There is no web without the we And where we go the web will be

- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 months ago:
I have seen some others, but I checked the account and they haven’t posted for a year or so. Seems like they quit after they started using alternate characters.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 months ago:
I know it’s a little crazy to me. I know of at least one guy who quit the platform after he started experimenting with alternate characters as an armchair linguist, because of the hate they were getting. Can’t people have their fun or be different? Do you also go crazy if someone makes a spelling mistake or if you see a ßöøê character? In get the misinformation part for the other person, but I still think some of you are overreacting.

I don’t quite get your question, but It’s not bullshit, I believe that the terms were first coined by Marx (if memory serves). The base superstucture model is just a model by which to view the world, in that it explains (to some degree) how sociocultural/economic and other phenomenon arise from the means and relations of production, which is definitely true to some extent. But no model is perfect and it’s not the only model. The world is pretty complex and people can and do take actions that defy this model.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but that sounds genuinely aweful. I’ve had these treats for my cat as well, but I didn’t realize that they could be that addictive.

- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 5 months ago:
Right and we also use lemmy, but we still weigh and judge what we read here or at least we should. And we should do the same for Wikipedia, even though I would argue that Wikipedia has higher epistemic standards than Lemmy. The point being, the openness of these platforms is a quality on its own. Wikipedia isn’t perfect, but it is far from terrible.
- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 5 months ago:
It’s true that it is not generally accepted for writing a paper or essay, but that does not mean that the information is completely unreliable. While I’m sure that Wikipedia is not perfect with regards to truth, it is more accessible, democratized and readable than many primary sources or peer reviewed articles. Those properties have a lot of value by themselves. Would you not agree?

This. Especially in the humanities, the essay is the preferred form of assessment. I don’t have a birds eye view of all colleges, but I know that some of those courses should not have had essay exams. It’s as if teachers forget that other forms of examination exist.
- Comment on openscad is pretty great 11 months ago:
It’s cool, but I never had the chance to get into it. Conventional CAD tools are pretty convenient as well especially if you already know how to use them. What would be a good starter model to try this on?

It was an interesting read. It read like a Utopian short story and is a clear critique.
