I am convinced most people are just walking around as blank eyed zombies that can only think about food, sex, and scrolling TikTok.

I definitely notice that wonder has died with a lot of people. Luckily I try to be a luddite and enjoy life without tech as well as with. Still have tons of books. Shut the internet off every so often.

I live for these types of videos. I may be autistic.

All the time! Showing each other the cool sites we’d found. Messing with settings.

Lots of people addicted. Never had it, thought it was stupid when it came out.

Ahh, I’d love this if it also had some sort of story and an aircar. Cloudpunk 2!

Im just skeptical of it, since similar solutions exist with briar, matrix, Irc, signal…sure theyre not all the same, but I fail to see how something a crypto scammer is trying to push could be good.

Thats crazy!! I do eat it, but not very often. However I do a lot to offset it, but still. Hard to get other foods that make you feel full and get you protein like a good steak though.

Hope they lose billions!!

I can’t keep browser hopping. I want to stay with firefox. Please don’t get worse!

Don Glover “good” gif here.

Seems rehashed, with more enshittification likely to be baked in. Typical tech bros.

You have a good point. But it’s there in your post; “feeling” connected. But for many people, they actually aren’t. They feel connected because of notifications and little dings that give them dopamine, much like a rat in a test lab hitting buttons for treats. Thats why I am surprised no one sees this.

Exactly. Keep the poors in their dumb little walled garden social media so they don’t ever learn everything. The average person now is terrified of the Internet if it isn’t Google or meta. Ironically, the things they trust are the most evil of all by far.

Well Jimmy, people used to be humans and converse in person hard to believe I know.

We can’t all be Jack White. I’ve tried. You cannot live in this society with no phone. Unless you have no friends and no job.

I agree… I feel this way often especially now when an ai can write, make music and movies, and no one can actually tell the difference, there isn’t much point to creating anymore. Unless it’s solely for you and you don’t want to show it to anyone else.

Am i the only one who wishes this was common? Put your stupid phones away. How have we not matured enough to not be so addicted to little flashy lights.

I already use shortwave and love it!

Holy cow, all your todos sound very very similar to mine!
