Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.
if there's one thing I miss of the early net it's the way people just put their random shit and fun comments ideas in a textfile and saved it for public consumption somewhere.
there's still a few archives around (e.g. textfiles.com), but new stuff isn't really added anymore
and it's a pity. sometimes I think it would be great to see some insightful blog post or random reddit comment boiled down to it's essentials and saved somewhere
I remember all the times when I encountered some stupid but amazing ideas when trawling old download sites
This article nicely sums up my suspicion about the state of 'Xwitter'…
"Twitter is now a siloed attention roulette machine just like TikTok. That was the plan when Elon took over and they succeeded. There's no going back."
"The significance of this development is profound: If AI provides the answers to all the searches that you’re looking for, there is no need to click on the source articles that provide the answers. If you don’t click on the source articles, the publishers do not receive any ad revenue, and if the publishers do not receive ad revenue, they cannot pay their writers to provide the answers for Google’s AI to steal."
Ja… äähhh,… ja und dann vielleicht gleich auf @briar und/oder @cwtch zum chaten wechseln? Wenn dies überhaupt noch jemensch aktiv nutzt. Nun ja, @signalapp ist leider nicht dezentral.
»Messenger der 2000er – ICQ macht nach mehr als 27 Jahren dicht:
Er ist einer der ältesten Chatdienste ‒ und hat die Jugend der frühen 2000er geeint: Nun ist für den Messenger ICQ bald Schluss.«
@louisrcouture pas sur de comprendre? Est-ce possible de préciser?
Genre ce n’est pas possible de se connecter à Internet en de branchant un câble ethernet entre le routeur et ta box linux, ou de te brancher en wifi sur ton routeur?
