Emulation.
Uhh, theres good indie games…Foss projects.
Is there more? Maybe medical advancements no one can afford.
Linux GAMING
Ah good one3! I couldn’t imagine Linux gaming 20 years ago when I first tried it.
So true.
Switching to Linux and Android makes me feel excited for new technology again. I did not felt that in a long time. All the software is just how it should be. No kings, no masters to appease–just the will to make something helpful. Also the homebrew community is real fun, hacked my DSi and Wii and I love how they reverse engineered a lot of servers that were shut down. Its small but fun–just the fact that we are all on a server that should not exists from all over the world brings me joy.
exactly my experience. Made computing fun after being a slog for years!
Linux!
I recently heard a take of “what boomers don’t understand about millennials and younger generations is that we don’t expect anything good to happen ever again.” I’ve talked to a lot of friends about this and the general consensus is “…yeah” not a single person has disputed it, even a little. When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years.

Oh, that thing we probably aren’t even going to get? Sounds rough.
I’ll have fun paying for his before then, though
I saw a debate where someone said “All of my friends are in their 30s. None of them have kids. None. Do you know how hard you have to abuse a mammal to make it stop having kids?”
And now I think we have an answer to that question.
In my friend group, there is one person who has a kid. One. We’re all late 20s, early 30s.
I don’t expect it, but I’m also not going to be complicit in them getting worse. Lethargy and cynicism means you’ve already lost, which is what the assholes at the top want.
We will not go quietly into that good night.
With you 100% I think millennials have been taught our whole lives that those at the top will take anything we don’t nail down. We’ll keep nailing things down, continuing with the expectation that the world will continue not to be made for us
i mean… i hope good things will happen, but yeah i don’t expect them to. especially when we look at the climate crisis, we’re probably one of the last generations that’ll remember the world when it was relatively normal
i just hope i die before the whole planet is forced to ration drinking water
If you want some good news: the earth is greener than it was 20 years ago. About 5% greener, mostly due to big tree planting projects in India and China, but also due to de-desertification efforts on the edges of the Saha, Forrest restoration in the Americas rewilding efforts in Europe (which are also introducing native wildlife back to Europe like wolves, bison and beavers) and even the redesigning of urban centres to include more green space.
Is it green enough to offset the amount of people & pollution from billionaires that we have now vs 20 years ago?
We’re actually getting close to that
That man needs a properly fitted suit.
A big suit is part of his style though.
Is it not proper? There are many different styles of suits, maybe he just likes the classic american bulky fit
i love this guy. his best videos are of him being consistently disappointed in the quality of his taco bell meals.
His mistake is going to Taco Bell for quality
it’s a whole thing he does, rating fast food special menu stuff. it’s pretty comical
In no particular order, from where I am:
- Linux/FOSS
- Renewable energy
- Crime rates
- Consumer protection laws
- Furry cons
- Vegan & vegetarian products
- The AI bubble (slowly)
- Left-wing parties
I’d argue the AI bubble is still getting worse, just more slowly
It’s starting to show its cracks (see Facebook), I’ll count that as getting better.
Why do you think Linux and FOSS are getting worse? It’s an enormous ecosystem… hard to say one way or the other, but there are a lot of really good mature products right now.
I think they’re responding to the original image which states “Is there anything that isn’t getting worse?”
I agree. Things are NUTS right now but there’s some truly incredible stuff going on in the open source anything space, and I’m happy to be here for it. :)
Ok, yeah, I was just being dumb haha
No no, these things are getting better in my opinion, in Germany/EU at least!
Yes, I agree
A decade ago, I assumed things would probably get worse, but goddamn I didn’t think it would happen this fast.
Don’t be silly, the fentanyl market is booming, and military spending is through the roof!
On a side note, I don’t know who this guy in the suit is, but check his hard drive.
Pretty sure this is that dude known as ReviewBro, who reviews fast food and stuff. Or used to, idk.
He was in a rather popular meme that goes “My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.” Lol
Review Brah’s weekly reports are the one sane center in my hurly burly world.
"Hell-o, everyonnnne!
You just read that in my voice, didn’t you?"
It will continue to get worse because humanity has failed. God stays in heaven because the devil has won.
Taco Bell is still pretty good…. Oh… wait
… people are still blaming taco bell for taylor farms’ latest fuckup? even after taylor farms has fucked this up multiple times in the past and taco bell was the first to pull stuff that wasn’t safe to sell?
Idk I heard there were fourish cases for that food poisoning linked to Taco Bell. But I still eat there twice a week
“My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined”
Negativity bias is real and I’m quite sure that it’s amplified by social media platforms on purpose.
Optimistic people are problematic to the ruling elite because they bring their progressive endeavours to fruition, while the pessimistic ones complain that the world is getting worse.
What an odd view. Pessimistic people can and do much in the way of “endeavors”. Just like optimistic people can and do sit on their asses just assuming everything will work out or “everything happens for a reason”.
How has anyone living today not seen that both outlooks can have people who do things and also people who don’t.
