Would love for this to stay focused on products available for purchase TODAY that are high quality.

Maybe, maybe, there could be one day a week where people can post pics of vintage/thrift store finds.

The Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifier and Tower Fan is extremely quiet and will push a lot of air.

Trickledown wealth, yes, but the spirit of OPs question is “stuff”. “Stuff” does generally get cheaper over time.

I bought a 55” Plasma TV in 2008 for $2100. Last year I bout a 65” OLED for $1600. Much better picture, much thinner/lighter, much lower power consumption and heat generation.

This is the spirit of OPs question.

It’s a toss up for me between Outer Wilds and Subnautica. I found Outer Wilds after playing Subnautica and looking for something with the same feeling.

Anyone that liked Outer Wilds should also play Subnautica. Although the game play is more similar to No Man’s Sky (even though Subnautica is definitely much better than NMS)

Just a few years ago…even a year ago…I would have thought that was it, the internet has agglomerated around these few sites: Twitter, Facebook, Reddit.

And then do to mismanagement, the owners of these sites have created an opening for competition.

I’d never heard of Mastodon until Elon bought Twitter. I’d never heard I’d Lemmy of kbin until Spez decided to shut down the 3PAs.

These “innovators” are falling into the same traps of as the ghosts of the past. Napster existed because the record industry tries to stop the future, and stop the consumers from getting what they wanted.

It’s a new day for the internet.

I wouldn’t put it terms of “worse”. The fediverse is growing in users and that’s a good thing. It will be A LONG TIME before the fediverse approaches a user base like Reddit. It should be quite a nice place for a long time until that day.
