Unhook should provide more personal control of experiences within Youtube. If I must watch something controversial like discussions about opposition to AI, I use Freetube so that I don’t get bombarded with unnecessary suggestions.

Yeah, no fucking thanks to the techbros wanting all of humanity to embrace this monstrosity by arguing AI is the “new normal”.

I’d rather have the percentage on and with slightly larger digits, because at more than a feet away from the phone screen hard to tell how much battery charge is left without the percentage.

At least it’s much better than spending hours watching brainrot.

Fuck you Pichai. They should be sued.

Makes me think of rewatching Apocalypto.

Also, Wall-E. And maybe Idiocracy.

I just don’t understand why people feel the need to share everything

Sign of life. Some people keep posting what they’re doing even if no one cares, just a reminder they’re still alive and breathing.

Once again, enshittification by the fucking suits.

Early on I decided to use only KeePass for full personal control instead of an online service. Didn’t regret making that decision.

Man simply got rich on the platform he helped created. Hardly recall any instance he asked for more.

I’m not a fan of him, but other tech billionaires have been engaged in publicly shaming or calling for vendettas against anyone angering them. Or indulging in shameless shows of wealth. Or simping for cruel politicians in exchange for asshole policies favoring white Christian males – and enormous tax breaks. Or aiming to destroy anyone opposing them by using information stolen from the masses.

Just fyi, the CEO of Kimberly-Clark, Michael D. Hsu, earns per year, whereas warehouse workers typically earn about $50k a year, that’s about 0.33% or 300 times less.

What a role reversal.

Methinks of Pluribus.

What I’m upset about is the absolute wealth of information that will be forever trapped behind Discord. What ever happened to good old fashioned forums?

Rather than paying for hosting and operational costs that goes with a forum, social media and the desire for immediacy happened as Yahoo created Groups, then Facebook followed suit with their own.

Part of the reason why I hate the concept of emigrating to countries with McHouse suburban sprawls. The goddamn lack of convenience of just walking down to nearly every shop addressing my needs, and instead forced to drive a car.

but all told I’d much rather live in the Demolition Man future than Judge Dredd or Death Race 2000.

What Pluribus is.

It’s possible not to allow auto-updating.

Older people about to return to programming, and most of the online tutorials they have are about 20 years old, having no idea an alternative exists.
