Managers are always the dumbest person in any room they're in.
They were dumb enough to take the job!

The nice thing is that you get what you ask for. If you follow a bunch of political guys, you get a bunch of politics. Follow a bunch of people who post memes, you get a bunch of memes. You don't have some weird algorithm figuring out the stuff that's going to piss you off and posting it to drive engagement.
But the other thing is, there's no weird hand of God putting their finger on the scale.

Junkies man, I swear.
Am I the only one around here who is thankful not to be on big Tech and to be on the fediverse?
It just feels like the old internet again. And I loved the old internet.

Presumably in the past you'd have separate servers for handling different things, so your mail server, your www server, your ftp server, and so on would be on different hosts with different IP addresses. The idea seems more absurd today because the internet is so much larger so that's totally changed the idea of how the internet is used.
Sadly true.
My first phone was a Samsung Galaxy s1 SGH-i897. I ended up running cyanogenmod on it, and was able to drag it as far as jelly bean before it was just time for a new phone because back the. There really was a difference between 2-3 generations of smart phone. That phone actually got nicer to use over time because the newer versions of Android took advantage of more of the technology. gingerbread was sorta hot garbage and the original Android app store was worse.
Today most phones are so locked down that you can't even consider using something like lineageos.

#flatearth clearly round earth is a Nazi conspiracy theory. It's time to cast off the shackles of white supremacy and embrace the truth.
Prices continue to rise, while economic activity in general continues to drop. That's stagflation, and it's what I predicted way back in 2020, and it's what we've got today.
People are struggling to not die, and they can't afford to spend money on frivilous things. I mean, some people are buying new smart phones, but a hell of a lot less than there were! (besides which, why would you buy a new smart phone? What specifically does a new phone have that a 5 year old or even 10 year old phone doesn't?)

This is never going to work. I tried to get GPT to create an article saying that air is racist, and it told me this instead:
tbf, there's always medical risks involved with pregnancies since humans are genetic freaks. Just... more in this case.
You're right, and it happens every time. When you read the history of a lot of authoritarian regimes, that's what they do -- they use the freaks to get their foot in the door and those same freaks are always the first against the wall because they're no longer useful.
That sort of thing is why I'm not strictly libertarian. Producing a public good that improves the sustainable quality of life for everyone is a positive thing I've seen make everyone's lives better regardless of ideology. It's easy to say the market will provide the solutions, but it they don't because there's a more efficient allocation of limited capital, where efficient means return per dollar. Thing is, what is profitable is not necessarily what is good or what is beneficial for people. The most profitable things are playing magic tricks with money in the stock market, which produces nothing of value.

As nice as it is to think, I have a sneaking suspicion some of those are bots, since they look like bots.
On the other side of this, lawmakers sure seem to think that social media is dangerous and harmful, since they're sticking their fingers in at every opportunity to try to regulate it.
