I blame content creators. The minute PewDiePie made a million, it was game over. There should’ve been a unified front from the start to reject the PewDiePie model. We didn’t see it for what it really was. The internet was always going to get taken over by profit-driven motives. The only way to stop that would’ve been making the internet a hostile place for people chasing profits.

Think about the timeline. Profit focus leads to ads and data collection. That leads to political groups using that data to run research and push propaganda. Corporations are gonna do what they do. Blame isn’t a light switch—it’s a pie chart. And if we don’t start naming the villain, we’re going to lose the next space too. Whatever space we think is ours. We have to stay sharp when the profit seekers show up, even if it’s just some cool comic book guy trying to sell a few books. They all end up in the same place.

Any space created by hackers and nerds should create a new religion of sorts with principals and values to prevent another take over of whatever space they create in the future.

I was just thinking how much we’ve lost. Each generation grows up with this stuff being normalized by people saying “it’s fine just skip it”. But the early days of the internet was so much different compared to the people today.

No but my daughter does and knowing her mom and me can track her in the event of an emergency is a big relief for her and us. It lets her have more freedom and confidence then if we didn’t have it

These are great services. Insane that they charge for them but there are great use cases. Sorry kids, but parents need to know where you are.

Look, Software shouldn’t be free and open Source. I really like that we probably have a decade left of it before it gets bundled with ad services which it should have been from the start. The more people that adopt it means that it’s only a matter of time as long as we all just passively watch it get usurped

I’m sorry I lied. I made it up. I just wanted to fit in with everyone else shitting on the person creating stuff.

Very cool this is similar to dibbles. How is it different?

Having kids changed my view. Originally I believed nature influenced our gender roles. Since having kids I have seen in my kids and others that there are clear differences in how both boys and girls interact with the world and both are pretty incredible to watch. I think maybe the idea that being more stoic and less emotional is ok.

Saying all that, there are definitely cultural influences that can take these inherent traits to toxic levels.

I’d like to see studies showing when kids are left to their own that they will trend towards non traditional gender based toys. My gut is believing that this may not need proof that girls and boys do not experience emotions with similar intensity.

One thing I think is a clear difference is attention to details between men and women. What I worry is that if we start thinking men and women are more similar than they are we could run into problems when average people wrongly assume the other experiences things they do.

I think it’s in our nature.

Now print it out and poster it around town.

We’re turning into trump supporters with our vilification and exaggeration of real life

It’s bait

But it looks insane and out of touch too make posts where it suggests both are the same

Ok I did read that. Thanks

Not reading that. Turn it into a picture

Need to count the number of “fascists” per posts to get an accurate determination

Oh we’re the idiots. Never saw that coming

Sure but I’m also all for innovating and watching these things fail. Isn’t there a value in letting dumb rich people with money waste their wealth on dumb ideas. It keeps them from doing things like buying Twitter

These people will literally punch a child in the face every time you use chatgpt. Be careful. They’re insufferable

In my opinion the individual isn’t respected but they’re a stand in to show respect for the people who sacrificed their lives.
