That's a super neat trick actually. Why the heck has RSS been losing popularity when it seems to be the only magic protocol you really need to keep up with what you actually care about?
Oh I just answered my own question: It must be harder to hijack RSS with intrusive ads and clickbait...
I still don't think I understand the full utility of RSS. I guess it's good for forum communication too?
Because my first thought was "RSS is cool but first we need human-written content and blogs to come back."
Ah, that captures such a stark answer to why people use xitter though.
It's not "so I can hear from you" it's "So YoU cAn HeAr FrOm Us!!!11oneone"
Walled gardens? More like prison yard. Lol
That's how it works in the Planescape universe. Lol
So weird, I just heard this phrase in its entirety from Dr. Smith, of the classic Lost in Space series.
It's such a goofy show but the dialogue can be shockingly eloquent.
"Proof is in the pudding" always got to me too... Thought it was some old weird Baker-farmer-ism or something Lol.
Ah! I'll read this over dinner.
Bone apple tea! :p
Wh... What are you doing, step-toe?
"Let's flush out this design."
"You got it!" [Slowly readies a grenade.]
Reminds me of that story where a fellow on the lake was chilly and tried to start a small fire in the boat, but it just burned a hole through it and he had to swim to shore.
Just goes to show you...
"You can't have your kayak and heat it, too."
We're at a point in the information age where even the poor, for now, tend to have access to libraries and smartphones even if the school system failed them. I've known many with advanced vocabulary and disproportionate economic status. Heck, I'm not rich either but I know words and letters mean things if we're to communicate well.
Many poor immigrants will say "sorry for my English" but be significantly more eloquent than the majority of privileged kids on Reddit or whatever. The difference? They care about being understood clearly.
There's a certain irritation when it comes to people on the Internet who have the world at their fingertips and misuse language out of lazy habit, and continue to do so, even when gently and non-judgingly corrected.
This seems to happen often enough that misspellings or misuse seem to mislead people new to the concept or language, into an incorrect understanding in the first place.
It's a silly discussion on willful, stubborn ignorance and how that's a pet peeve. Nothing to get too bent out of shape over.
Found this on iFunny lol.
The Hated One has been pretty solid in the past regarding privacy/security, imho. I found this video of his rather enlightening and concerning.
---personal opinion---
This is why I personally think federated computing like Lemmy or PeerTube to be the only logical way forward. Spreading out the internet across infrastructure nodes that can be cooled by fans in smaller data centers or even home server labs is much more efficient than monstrous, monolithic datacenters that are stealing all our H2O.
Of course, then the 'Net would be back to serving humanity instead of stock-serving megacultists. . .
At first my brain started assuming you were just memeing a monologue from Deus Ex, then I realized this was an original comment. How sad is that? It must be here.
...just without the neat cyberpunk stuff.
And this was the game written on the premise "...where every conspiracy theory is real." Lol
