Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.

yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.

The technological innovations of the last fifteen years, from advertising enshittifcation to AI cheating, have largely been a disaster. We are sadly at the point where, as Ted Gioia says, “most so-called innovations are now anti-progress by any honest definition.” I dare say that if we could revert all digital technology to where it was in 2009 – before the invention of the retweet – we’d all be better off.

I’d go back even further (to 2007) before the invention of the iPhone. The smartphone has, arguably, IMO been a bad, or at least premature invention. It created a generation of kids obsessed with their photographies, giving girls eating disorders and creating/spreading unrealistic beauty ideals, etc… Also it has severely disrupted teenagers’ social living, created sleeping disorders, chronic doomscrolling, addiction, and more bad stuff. The iPhone was, IMO, not ready for this world.

Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.

I was going to upvote but then:

Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.

Please stop the corporate garbage talk/pitching bullshit. Can’t we have a normal discussion without these buzzwords?

So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.

There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)

isn’t that why the hippie movement ended?

Very interesting read.

I also like how, at the end, it changed perspective to say “actually, our problem is not software, but politics”.

We must be aware of what agents we encourage and discourage through our actions.

solar panels will do a lot to reduce the problem of climate change significantly.

I’m saying this because I see a lot of young people having depression due to climate doomerism, and realizing there’s an effective strategy that can be physically implemented helps a lot.

correlation does not imply causality, mind you

something something “suffering builds character” smh

and keep eating the foods that you know give you inflammation

fucking wheat. I knew it was bad for like since my childhood, only stopped eating large quantities of it a year ago, when i finally got my shit together and converted to a mostly rice-based diet.

No, I’m just saying, what you eat and how you move can do a great lot to improve your general health and mood, except when the environment is total shit. Then you might still feel bad.

Yes, except if you grow up in a neighbourhood that is a fucking trainwreck, like I did.

so, Facebook?

If the disk is internal and only used by linux, you should 100% use ext4.

NTFS is what windows uses. exFAT is like really, really old file system that is only used because of its wide compatibility nowadays. USB-sticks use them, because they have to be compatible with any device where you couls potentially stick them in.

You get only one boot partition (EFI partition) which contains the kernel and the initramfs for both operating systems. Then, you would create two partitions to hold the rest of each individual operating system.

Shared partitions can be ext4, but if they should be read-/writable by windows, I would recommend ntfs or exFAT.

Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use telnet or netcat to send messages to other people?
