• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Education and learning are two different things. School tests are to repeat back what has been educated to you. Meaningful learning tends to be internally motivated and AI is unlikely to fulfill that aspect.

  If I had a magic internet/media button I know what it would be.

  It would be a brand banish button. If I see an ad, I wanna just have a button to banish them from all my devices…forever. I already have a rule you poss me off with adverts …I defo won’t buy.

  So much tech potential that just does not exist!

  I know. It’s like some people are scared of interacting with real humans so they watch it instead.

  Yup the hype around monetisation is a scourge. It makes you me question so much of what I see, do. I hate being so suspicious. I feel like even simple life transactions are up for sale ‘see this one cleaning hack to change your life’ … idiot on a video wanders around with a duster like it’s a new invention. Even idiots filming every bite of an average sandwich. I sound old.

  The same McDonalds that hosted the orange turdbag at the drive through. They ain’t getting my money and haven’t since.

  The rich orgs clearly feel bold enough to brag about How much money they make from you and; They enable a facist administration, and; They will use the money made from you to lobby and ensure employees get little respect or wage and; They have made your product smaller, crappier, and more expensive.

  Listen to them when they brag and don’t keep buying from them.

  Spent 10 years in Aus and just left. Housing turned our Australian dream to a nightmare.

  Do you think we need a crusade group? I noticed a story about a tent group making money out of the camps earlier. Maybe we can all torment them. Happy to give a portion of my day bullying corps.

  Amazon has been the easiest to get rid of for me. I just stopped buying shit. I’d rather do without than continue supporting this. My Alexa’s got dumped. I just need to replace my firestick and I am done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am really staring to detest most of the biggies. Amazon. Nestle, google. I’m not even American and I think the health companies need hounding.

  Love this. Who says the Germans have no humour.

  Thanks just spent a lot tow time over telling Adobe where to go. Great way to vent. Whose next?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What ongoing projects are you working on?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am just on crochet at the moment moving house and everything is in storage. I have been dying some yarns and bleaching some yarns though to make something new from something I don’t like.

  It feels inevitable. You stay sane and protect your inner peace. I am in the camp this is not left/right old/young this is rich playing with the poor. There are far more of us and we have a lot of common language.

  I have been questioning in the last few month what can i do, i agree, the old internet is not the way, but for me tech and the internet has become a dirty word and somewhere i no longer want to be.

  I have become quite conscious of my where my money goes, i also probs need to be more conscious of where my internet traffic goes and where i can support grassroots (online) communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been considering it. Not sure what on. I love to craft, make reuse, there are a few here but i guess there could be space for more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  oh this is a good take

  what is LLM?

  One of the things for me is over the last few years i have suppressed my inner geek, censored my voice and gone along with the common group areas. I have tended to read rather than be part of something. I am kinda techie always have been however I have slept walked into a hole that I need to get out of, and instead start contributing to real communities of interest. Spaces i love, spaces where people share my passion.

  I think the benefits of diversity the fediverse and infact the world we live in needs communicating. Convenience (or what i believed to be) has been a hell of a drug that I am waking up to and walking away from. And that means me getting involved in healthy internet spaces. Spaces that work me not me not the other way round. As a real life analogy, Supermarkets are great, but as i get older i am going back to farmers markets and boot sales, i like the experience, i find things i didn’t know i wanted.

  Its finding it in the first place. It wasn’t even a tough question it was actually about changing a plug on something, i just wanted to double check it was suited, but the effort of finding out the info outweighed the effort to find. Something like iFixit is a good idea but you have to find it in the first place. These places are so buried now.

  Agree with these points so much. It feels like I have to learn how to sign up, then learn to use it, rather than just use it.

  Its been driving me crazy, I am so close to abandoning the internet and going back to old reading just out of spite. yesterday I went looking on how to fix something simple a small electric item and all i got was adverts for a replacement, I use DDG and i closed the screen at three pages. I miss when you could simply search a question and the answer was there. Excited to see the resistance starting to emerge.
