It takes me about a week of holiday before I can read. No work stress, and less obsession with the continual dopamine hits of smart phones, eventually lets my brain relax enough to pick up a book.
Every time I come back from holidays I tell myself I should keep reading. I never have kept it up though..
The OOTB experience of everything is declining
I don’t mind it. It’s outing all the companies who are run by people who lack critical thinking skills. Thanks for letting me know which corners of the internet to avoid
This is just a standard “clearing house” measure. Remove the dissidents, ignore the howls of complaint.. surround yourselves with “yes men” and then you are set
That makes two of us!
Top quality meme but I’m wondering which thing we’re referring to this time?
Kbin is to reddit as mastodon is to twitter, IMO.
The tutorials and guides on reddit are invariably reposts from somewhere else. There will be the occasional gem that is nowhere to be found but on balance I’d say reddit could vanish and it wouldn’t matter in the long run.
Niche web forums still exist around a discrete interest group, they have lost a lot of traffic to enshittified giants but I think the people who post their lazy questions on facebook groups are better off there anyway. Repeat questions was an issue on web forums and still is, but I think having an additional torrent of ask-before-search users would make forums untenable now.
The internet was amazing when only technically-capable people were on it. Or in other words, everything gets ruined by being too popular.
Kinda interesting to hear of that happening but at the end of the day, if they want to roll back my posts good luck to them, it will cost them more effort than it did for me to run a script to edit/delete
One does not simply unjump the shark
