It's weird seeing how "the algorithm" has genuinely only made things worse. Falling into the YouTube rabbit hole was a thing, and it was entirely organic. From the loose connections of topics, you could start from any feel good funny video, and end in detailed documentary about MK Ultra.

The best algorithm was no algorithm and there's no way of ever going back to that. I feel pretty lucky to have experienced the internet before it became everything.

Thanks but I am genuinely just stumbling through life and somehow it works out instead of me being homeless. Idk how shit works out but I feel like I don't deserve it.

I recently got a job that seems like its going to work out well. I could be making way more money, 2-3x as much, but I decided pretty early that I'm not going to make missiles. This is way below my skill level and isn't challenging in the slightest, but its a good change of pace. Was happily unemployed for a long time but its time I get back to routine and it feels great having money coming in instead of just out. I'm going to chill with it it for a good while and start applying to those niche jobs that I'm perfect for and pay a lot. Or I'm going to start a business with a buddy or two.

After my cat takes a shit, she'll run around and yowl. Not meow, yowl. She never yowls except post-poo. But she doesn't want to interact with me during this time. If I acknowledge her then she stops and just meows and walks around regular. So I just let her have her post shit crazy sesh. Like, I get it, I feel great after dropping one, so its good she feels comfortable enough to express her after shit joy.

So corporations use ai and bots themselves in order to inflate their stats and steal money from investors and share holders(see Reddit) and its all cool. Someone does that but it costs the corporation some money. Straight to jail.

Seriously, how has the reddit IPO which was offered to users not been a fraudulent scheme due to the website statistics being based on genuine user interaction with no mention of auto reposting or bots that are either operated by or hired by reddit?

It genuinely seems like the next ponzi scheme but that would require so many federal agencies that stopped giving shit and learning how the world works to see any peep into that business.

But what do I know, I'm just some average Joe that gets audited over a $300 mistake on annual taxs which I have to pay a private third party more than that to do.

Java feels like McDonald's and python feels like a grocery store.

Rust feels like a femboi hooters where they offer IVs you don't think they're qualified to administer.

One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don't think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.

I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.

Florida hates Disney because of how much power they have over the state. Daddy Disney is going to punish Florida so much harder if they let one of their little judges let this through. 100% going to arbitration.

All fast food has been racing each other to total enshitification. I used to each so much taco bell, it was never good, but decent enough for the price. I had one of the large brown bags almost completely full of fire sauce. I haven't gone in probably a year because their food got blander and more expensive. It feels like everything is just made from nutrient paste but made to look like foods that existed in the old world.

 
 

Is there a community specific to FOSS or just general privacy oriented IoT? With plenty of hardware discussion along with software. Routers, piholes, Meshtastic, anything IoT but open source. If it touches a network but you want it to do something it doesn't. Flashing a doorbell camera with FOSS firmware. Hosting media servers on your phones Hotspot. Loading gcode to a printer from anywhere. There are so many things and possibilities.

If there isn't someone should start one, OpenIoT or something catchy and relevant.
