I'm not on the popular parts of the internet often but when I do get a glimpse I'm shocked at how much extremist content is just out there completely in your face.

It didnt used to be like that 10 years ago. The algorithms are being gamed to push extreme right and extreme left content to young people. It doesnt strike me as organic. I dont think majority of the audience have an interest in these topics.

Ive heard people repeat a "meme" and I have to stop them and be like where did you hear that why are you saying that thats a meme used by white supremacists to dogwhistle about mass killing events.

The internet is fucking wild. It may be more censored than ever but the content on there is still crazier and more extreme than it ever was. People have learnt to avoid the censorship, dont swear, don't use slurs, dont post gore or nsfw content after that you can pretty much say whatever you want.

When they back out of it will you hold it over them or just let them return to more moderate views?

Its anecdotal at best. Its like if someone was saying "we should give kids school lunch so they preform better at school" and then I replied "I didnt have school lunch and I got top my class" you'd think ok that changes nothing.

There is a lot of research to support the idea that adults are less likely to pick up a skill if they weren't exposed to it as a kid. If you dont grow up working with technology to make things you're less likely to go down that route as an adult or late teen. Thats a huge disadvantage in today's age.

Its crucial for a nation to have. Its good for citizens to unify around goals and achievements but to much can lead to a big head and losing the ability to accurately self reflect and self asess.

Its fine you just hit your head so many times that you learn to avoid it and hopefully you aren't a slow learner.

Then you get to enjoy watching others hit their head.

Depressingly impressive sales.

Factorio, osrs, rimworld.

I tried playing games like Tony hawk pro skater or racing games, but every time I'd turn I'd lose my balance and almost fall off the treadmill. So anything i could play had to be slow placed or not have a 3d camera.

Reddit's search was google. Now google sucks and reddit thinks it can replace it. No way, reddits search sucks and its quality has significantly declined

Sue the bat!

 

I've been pretty interested lately in where New Zealanders are talking online. This survery has a lot of interesting data and seems to show that vast majority of New Zealanders are on facebook over other platforms. That sucks because I do not and will not ever use facebook and cant view any of the discussion because it requires an account.

The survey seemed to show that NZers are feeling less and less optimisic about the internet with the 2024 data showing only 74% think the positives outweight the negatives compared to 90% in 2019.

I was very relieved to see that the results show NZers really dont like AI and think its very concerning.

I was surprised at the amount of people who never use SMS and I am thinking of getting rid of SMS as well and seeing how that goes.

The trends that looked at what specifically people cared about showed people care about the right things but its super blackpilling to see these numbers show people care about these things but their behavior reflects the complete opposite. Like 60-70% of people putting data privacy as their #2 issue while facebook being the most used site.

 

Trump supporters have gone down the path that I and many others believe is irredeemable. I wanted to ask the Americans here what they think will happen to trump supporters in a post trump America. Do you think there will be an offramp for them if so what do they need to do to make amends?

 

Many times i've been blocked from downloading files from users and i assume they're either personally blocking me or using an auto leeching plugin. But im not sure why, if I had to guess it would be because my download to upload ratio is complete shit cause no one wants any of my files.

I've got 1tb+ of various content in my public files. Music, movies, tv shows, sports events and games.

 

We're bringing back the concord!

 

FTB Inf Evolved 1.7.10 is my favourite pack and I dont really want to go back and play it for the millionth time. So Instead im looking for a similar experience but with some mod updates.

 

Not sure how to take a good screenshot in this game. It always looks blurry even though its in 2k res with no upscaling.

 

Ive got a CSV of music from Spotify and would like an easy way to find and download these playlists. Is there a client that can do this?
