- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 1 week ago:
I’m from the 90s Internet. Geocities. Tripod. Webrings. My awesome gothy co-worker staying late after work to update her vampire fan-fiction site because hardly anyone had a computer and the boss let her use the company’s windows 95 machine.
We are categorically lazier as a culture now than then. I expect things to enshittify further until we collectively take responsibility and accountability for our own culture, engagement and entertainment online. As we used to. We need more stupid web tricks, this place used to have all sorts of public art and weird monuments to human quirkiness.
Until they take away from us the ability to purchase a 10$ domain, use DNS, and make HTML forbidden knowledge, anyone can be out there contributing. I realize, however, that most will not; I’ve recently started getting wide eyed stares of amazement because I have my own domain and use it for my email address, so we seem to be sliding further…
Not sure how we fix this.

Lol any hacker tossing “bro” around in conversation immediately gets a downgrade from black (or white) hat to “propeller beanie”.
Scratch that; anyone trying to sound serious about anything does.

Those 5G Conspiracy Theorists probably feel vindicated after reading this lol
I rather think they will be let down, given we’re on wifi 7, not 5G, and also no injected nanites were involved.

- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 1 month ago:
Is that because of the free surgery he’s going to give everyone who wears his obnoxious AI glasses and then subsequently gets punched in the face? Is that why we’re going to be at a disadvantage, Mark?

- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 2 months ago:
An interesting thought experiment: I think he’s full of shit, you think he’s full of himself. Maybe there’s a “theory of everything” here somewhere. E = shit squared?
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 2 months ago:
The safest strategy with people like him is to assume there is no floor, and that for everyone else’s safety, he should be humanely put down on that floor next to his morality.
And I mean put down in the sense we talk about our aged pets, and I know it’s truly better than he deserves.

Oh man. For me, Tetris. Every time.
I get past the first dungeon no problems, and find the heart container, but as soon as I meet that old guy with his kite in the tree I’m lost. I think I need to craft a slingshot or something but I’ve no idea where to get the rubber for an elastic band.

It’s more like:

ARE WE LEARNING HOW “SOCIAL MEDIA” WORKS YET HUMANITY?
Seriously. How many more fucking times do we need to go around this goddamn merry go round until we just start calling each other on the phone and meeting face to face again. You know, where the only enshittification is the one you bring with you. It’s fucking boring me now, how many of these stupid ass things I didn’t join because I’ve already, apparently, gotten the memo and how, inevitably, something like this happens, and everyone acts surprised and disappointed , as though inevitability was a concept they felt they’d been given a sabbatical from or something.
This. Shit. Ain’t. Free. There is an inherent cost, an “effort” required to communicate with others. You pay it with money, time or privacy. The overwhelming choice lately has been “privacy”, but it’s obviously something that not everyone is comfortable with, because we didn’t have the term “enshittification” before we started this flavor of our collective idiocy.
