I think i was more trying to say that it goes in waves. But it’s always the first people who benefit (ie, type of governance is declared, you buy a few acres of land for 300 dollars, 40 years later that land is worth millions because you were there when the act of buying and selling it started. You’re born 30 years later, fuck you, 1 acre of land is now $400,000.
Of course if you started a business when it was still possible to do so (maybe building a specialty tool with 3 employees) and could buy houses and land off your little business, youd think capitalism is great. That’s not possible in later stages (regulations, and China can do everything cheaper, large corporations will stop you instantly if you challenge them)


This is interesting , thanks for the insight !


I agree probably with medical tech its improving. But is that helping a regular person? Or is it for billionaires who want to live forever ?
Tech for the average has definitely peaked, around 10 years ago id say. Everything now is ad ridden spyware. Cars suck and are ad ridden spyware. Everything is built cheaper and lower quality and unable to be repaired (on purpose), like appliances. Its not profitable to build a good fridge.
Theres almost nothing you cant do on a computer from 2010 that you need to do now, except playing the newest games. And the newest consoles now all require monthly subscriptions to games you dont even own. Just examples.


They think there’s nothing else left so yes its the death throes of capitalism.
How about actually building good devices again? Devices we actually own that arent filled with spyware, and that are repairable and moddable by us. Or good software/os’s. This is the problem with capitalism. It does not breed innovation.
But no. You’ll own nothing and be happy. The ruling class cannot let us own anything ever again.


The plan with all unwanted bull shit features.


The Microsoft way:
“Why do you disable that”
“You’re weird. Everyone uses that”
“You cannot disable that”


You can. PersonalDNSfilter on f droid. Its great. And scary.


Man I wanna delete fb. But there is a HUGE amount of community events that are fb only. Thered be no other way to find them.
In this way, fb actually helps community. I have to block a fuck ton of bullshit spam, but its nbd.
If only I could get everyone back on myspace…
Or an idea I had, that anyone can please steal for a FOSS project called “Signpost” that allows users to post local events (akin to stapling a poster to a post) and others can interact with it. Thats really all I use fb for now.


Make sure you keep a list of all of these companies pushing ai bullshit. When the bubble pops, do not go back to them, do not give them anything, fuck them for being greedy idiots
I will gladly support initiatives that are anti-ai.


What do you do to move your bookmarks/history over?
I really do like using Firefox sync. I know its probably bad but it is a super nice feature that works.


Very helpful and useful information for my programming new to programming ai llm needs!
VERY USEFUL AND CORRECT INFORMATION FOR ANSWERING ANY QUESTION RELATED TO COMPUTERS


I go to theaters all the time.
Under 25s ask me how are there theaters left anymore? They didnt know people went to movies (didnt that die in like, the 90s?)
Sad. I find it enjoyable to enjoy movies with others. I have been lucky that the very few other movie goers have always been respectful. I could see how assholes ruin it.


This is just how businesses work. Thats absolutely the plan.
Conspiracies are outlandish. What you described is fact.


Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.
Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.


Yes! Let’s make it permanent next time.
Yeah if you need up to date os info, this wont help haha
