it's been almost a decade for me to "digest" this truth. But to be honest, I don't even miss or regret it much anymore. I end up cooking, going out, cleaning up or resting instead. and doing those with the same openness to let them absorb me the way games used to,... man, they sure can be enjoyable

They will remove encryption from your nuts too.

Neato! I used boinc for a while too :D

You had to work for your series, movies and music. You had to know what you want to obtain it. You weren't force-fed content you never asked for. You really think there's no more good music? There is but being bombarded with the commercial sh*t makes you wary of searching more of it.

You had to work for it to get online and have stuff work, so you'd have to show determination. Which would mean you'd understand the value of access to information and communication. Now you're bombarded with contradictory information pretty much constantly without even asking, accessing info isn't the problem anymore, it becomes an effort to keep any focus or quality of information whatsoever. And that's a soft skill.

And lastly, politics and big corporations now live on the internet with us. Their target audiences are those most intellectually defenseless people. But basically the whole internet has become centered around those. Because they can't discern and are basically technologically illiterate and don't understand how easy it is to feed them terrible commercials, propaganda and misinformation.

The internet becomes overregulated because of those users, and we get bombarded with marketing and politics because of them too. It's become a shit show and all you can do is navigate and use it extremely selectively. Remember, these 'normies' are the parents of the 20-30 year Olds who once judged them for spending too much time on their PCs and phones.

I'd like it if there was a 3rd web. Not normie web, not dark web, but 90's-2000 web where it felt like anything could happen and you needed some skill and willpower to get online. That way you had to earn it and so did the others, so there was a lot less marketing, propaganda and conspiracy theory on it.

I don't know what the rules or parameters would have to be to re-initiate that now.

PS just like the joining process on Lemmy filters out the lazy people without much initiative to tinker and find new places to hang out before they are cool and streamlined.

Kree!

They're only checking if our civilization is still at the talking-out-of-our-asses stage.

There he is! Come on, angry mob, let's all fart on this heathen!

Don't worry, I already have someone go bring some from the shop. He's running unusually late though - hope he's OK.

Exactly, we're pasta point where adding more puns is funny.

I actually only needed the volumetric farts of about 15 hamsters.

However, I thought it's not realistic to have them all fart at the same time, so I kept buying more.

Eventually it was a big enough group that it seemed more statistically plausible that 15 of them farted in unison.

I feed them beer and cheese and beans to increase the hypothetical flatulence interval of each hamster.

Also I have found, adding "I don't know, maybe something startled them and some of them... Went off" helps. I could buy a few more hamsters instead, but times are hard.

Who said murder wasn't funny?
