But I truly want them here. I work in the automotive industry and yeah, they’re scared shitless. However, from my point of view it seems like a greed thing. It would drive competition hard and that would mean short to medium term r&d cost increases.

We are so fucking far behind it’s not even funny. Shutting out the competition is just putting our head in the sand. It is time to get into gear.

The thing about this though, is that before the advice dog and the impact font era, memes had a lot more variety. To me, this was watered down normie shit.

Did he really? It just keeps getting better.

On paper, I feel like onion acquiring infowars could have been kind of uninteresting, but the way it’s unfolding has me dying laughing. Tim Heidecker being involved, Alex still having access to the studio, shirtless, ranting and raving about how the left are body snatchers (as if he didn’t completely bring this on himself).

It’s borderline adult swim absurdity. I love it

Great read. Makes me feel a lot less alone with the issues I’m facing. Interesting.

Maybe YouTube is the worst platform.

I don’t disagree, they’re all bad. I think reddit stands somewhere in the middle, and it all depends on what you value. For me, the combination of the bot problem and the weird need to hunt people down and harass them was what made me leave. This is specifically what the video I posted is about. The videos title is a little hyperbolic but it was early and I didn’t feel like coming up with a new one, my apologies for the bad headline.

One of the reasons I am here is because the AI/bot problem on reddit is getting too bad. I was a big contributor to the site but I just cannot deal with the slop anymore. I used the platform for like 17 years, but I am done.

I couldn’t go back if I wanted to.

I’d give it a shot. I doubt I’d stick with it though tbh.

Boom. Exactly. Self hosted solutions are amazing. We have choices about this stuff.

I have plenty of iot devices. Like anything that goes online, it’s how you set it up. If you know how to monitor traffic, it’s not terribly hard to get these things to behave how you want them to.

I’m mad at both tbh.

I would love to be free of Adobe CC, but unfortunately this is the case. The alternatives are getting better, the gap is closing, but it is still there. Adobe’s time will come, but it’s not soon enough.
