Your fellow netizen.

I am busy with life, but if you can message me I'll try to respond.

I am a graphic and web designer, and a web developer. If you need help with anything you can also shoot me a message.

Have you matured as you gotten older? Why or why not?

After having upsetting my friend after a less friendly and more sensitive conversation, I noticed that though I am particularly sensitive I didn't take her treatment towards me to heart and we are speaking just fine as before after 30 minutes. I am in my mid twenties and I noticed that I have a handle on my emotions better...

Also, for me, it's the fact I do not feel my data and privacy are being siphoned, sold, and fingerprinted on this platform. Another factor is that I feel the people and interactions are pure and authentic, rather than astroturfed and ambiguous. That may change as the fedicerse grows, but for now it is bringing me back of the older days of the internet.

OC The demographics of Kbin | Survey (take.supersurvey.com)

I'm curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it's infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out. I encourage you to join in, and you can skip any and every question if you so choose. You can view the results at the bottom of the page.

It is not broken, it just completely stopped tallying. Apparently the free version of supersurvey has a limit of only fucking 25 responses, and of course they do not tell you this until you created an account and already sent out the survey and then asks you to pay $90 a month for this shitty webapp that breaks immediately.

I'm just going to have to make another survey; what a bust...

I didn't even bother to play them. Happy that a new generation loves them though, and the sales figures speak for themselves. We're probably not getting classic Zelda back for a long time.

Here is where I disagree with a lot of you guys' points. Even if the comment is lower effort, I still would read them and prefer it to be there than not. Even if it's less substantiated. I primarily acted as a lurker on Reddit for various reason and still enjoyed reading people's opinions and perspectives even if it wasn't "high quality". Even if it's just to get a picture of what people feel about something it still has value. I post comments, and posts that get upvotes and views, and that proves that it still has value.

What will Meta gain from fediversing?

I don’t understand what Meta will gain from participating in the fediverse? Their ultimate goal is to make money of Threads and I just don’t see how encouraging an open federation will help them do it? Even 3Eing the fediverse will not do them much good as they already have sooo much traffic already that killing the...

I do not know their intentions or the implication, however I feel justified in feeling threatened by this.

Ocarina fans know that this is the only correct answer. Lol

I'm probably more on the extreme than most people here but I don't completely agree with some of the things others say on here. I do see that in our system, the kind of person and the things that you have to do to attain that kind of money requires that you be a sociopath. There are certain points on the path to that kind of wealth where you consciously make decisions that are unethical.

What that looks like is making the conscious decision to fire thousands of people, real people who have families to feed, health insurance they may depend on their employment which in the end which ultimately simply boils down to wanting to have a bigger profit margin.

I mean even just thinking about it—when you have
much more money than anything for one single person to do with, why hoard it when there's so much you can do in the world with it? The moment you begin to care for things beyond yourself is the moment you realize that no matter how much money in the world you attain, there still would never be enough left over for you to be able to be wealthy.

Should we be more enthusiastically asking questions to build content on here?

Over many years of using messageboards, forums and reddit, I've had the 'search, don't ask' ethos drilled into me, the idea being that creating new threads to ask simple questions is a bad thing because it decreases the signal-to-noise ratio of content....

We don't just need more of us to ask questions, but those of us with knowledgeable and valuable answers and information to those questions is what will make these platforms appealing.

It also means you have to be careful, I myself am not going to ask worthless questions or provide answers to things that I do not feel particular qualified or add any contribution to.

Absolutely effing nuts how much rent is going up by. It's like I barely make ends meet and landlords want to pad their pockets by squeezing whatever I have left over. Somethings gotta give.

Seriously, I get home by like 18:00-19:00 and only have about three hours to myself if I want to have my eight hours of sleep. Thankfully at least my job is a very cozy office job where my workload is very mild.
