  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I'll keep saying it:

Solution looking for a problem.

This, nfts, metaverse, it feels like recently all tech innovations are driven by speculative value, instead of actually offering something that meaningfully impacts lives. Are we really in a post problem world?

If you follow Cathode Ray Dude at all, he sums it up perfectly. We had our technological peak about 2010/2012. Almost anything the majority of humans do can be done fine on computers from that era or even before (IF the OS vendor didn't purposely make it bloated to run slower, ie Ios, android, osx, windows). Put linux on a laptop from 2007 and i almost guarantee 99% of humans wont complain. The problem is ceos demand FEATURES because LINE MUST GO UP!!! Except now instead of features, its stealing more and more of our data so they can sell it back to us once they shutter the free internet.
