I’m pretty new to all this, I just got a smart light and hub, etc. With the idea of using voice commands on my iphone/ipad.

But I was really disappointed to find out that I can’t voice activate the command “living room light on”, because as soon as Siri hears this, it responds “oh you havent setup a homekit device”.

The internet, as experienced by most humans today, primarily consists of ads, sponsored content, propaganda and spin. I don’t really see how it’s contributing to our development in a constructive manner.

1 every 5 years?? Yeah, ok, Mr. Popular.

Try posting non-US news to !news and see what happens.

Well that’s some high grade bullshit. “The World’s Internet Frontpage”.

It’ll go unnoticed, but I think it’s appropriate to remind Americans that theyre co-opting terms like “news” to mean “American news”.

And ‘replaced’ it with widgets that spam you with unremovable, gutter-press, shite

I don’t need to read this article to know that the Taskbar Calendar/Agenda Flyout is still missing.

The country.

I kind of wish you’d posted this before your original post, though I appreciate it was significantly more effort to type. You’ve made a number of well laid-out points that I largely agree with, but I’m not sure your original post indicated anything other than teacher and/or union bashing, which was difficult to get on board with!

Principal Skinner meme:
Is it the state of the world and lack of credible future that causes mental health problems?

NO, it’s the social media that is to blame.

Ha. And strangely, never a CEO.

I probably don’t need to ask, at this point, but will there be an agenda flyout back again?

That’s what I was afraid of

Did I misread that all facebook/instagram users will have a Threads account by default?

“4th wall, man. What are you gonna do for it?”

I’d go as far as to say that it’s not a trend, it’s a prerequisite.

It seems likely to me that ‘pop’ music won’t be created by people. As a result, people won’t be made famous through music anymore, the cult of celebrity will move on to be more era-appropriate.

I mean, this only happened in the first place because it was extremely profitable to sell lots of records/concert tickets. That doesn’t seem to be the case now.

So, if pop music has been manufactured to sell an image to impressionable people, there’s little incentive to do that these days. It’s surely more lucrative to fund an influencer than a ‘musician’.

Seriously, thanks so much for posting that. Every now and again it’s reassuring to hear someone put into words exactly what I fail to articulate. And so well articulated, too.

The fact that this was written before the enshittening of reddit really adds weight to the arguments within. I sigh and chef-kiss at the same time, if you can visualise that.
