I guess I shouldn't be disappointed.

Seeing people parrot popular opinions on AI for brownie points among their peers just reinforces my idea that most people on the internet are useful idiots these days.

They're not meant to be taken seriously. Disagreeing with them should usually be an indicator that we're doing something right because of how often they're wrong without ever owning up to it.

Louisiana is the worst state.

I always lose respect for someone when I see they gave money to discord.

Matrix suffers from some pretty poor design decisions and implementations.

I expect its flaws to get ironed-out over the years, but right now people switching from discord to matrix will find their experience severely lacking.

To give some examples, video chatting is not as inuititive in matrix. You can't even test it on your own without being in a server with specific permissions that allow you to use your camera when nobody else is around. Really fucking stupid design decision.

Another example is the lack of channels. It's mind-boggling to me how they're not implemented yet. Matrix will never be competitive with discord until that changes.

You know, I've seen this image at least 15 years ago and thought it was a joke.

Now that I'm older now, I'm guessing this is an actual diagram for implementing and perhaps patenting interactive commercials?

We literally reward people in our society for being as shitty as possible. Can we stop doing that?

Yeah, di$cord has definitely been speedrunning the deterioration of their platform.

It's a shame because they started as a darling of the gaming community with a lot of loyalty when people were switching to micro$hit like $lack and team$.

I guess capitalism and endless growth don't actual translate to improved products for the rest of us. Go figure.

It'll be nice when our species moves to decentralized platforms like Matrix, but every day we wait is another day I don't get to enjoy it.

Contrary to popular belief among useful idiots, copyright and patent laws are not there to protect the working class.

If copyright and patent laws actually protected workers, why have we not seen rulers fight back against them until now?

This should be eye-opening to most of you, but that would involve admitting you were wrong.

Most people can't do that.

No, it's not like saying that.

Please stop trying to use rape as a way to get an emotional response for something unrelated.

Rules for thee, not for me.

I thought copyright and patent laws were supposed to protect the little guy? Looks like as soon as they protect the little guy from big business, they stop mattering.

It's almost like, they weren't there to protect the little guy which is why big businesses never fought back against them.

I guess the useful idiots were wrong, again. Color me not-surprised.
