Okay, I guess I will try again.
Besides the big platforms and capitalism, I think I am also angry that so many people just decided to stop learning or being actively against the idea of intellectualism.
There are so many books being free in the age of internet. There are resources for one to break from the toxic right wing algorithm.But so many people just prefer to let “influencers” tell them what to think.
I tried the “have empathy” approach in 2016. It doesn’t work.
This is the part where I would blame the Democratic Party for failing to provide a better road map for future. They were captured by neoliberals in Wall Street, in tech industry, etc. Of course, the Democrats are still miles better than whatever Trump is proposing.
For the average person, algorithm dependency in news consumption is increasingly becoming an issue with no effective ways to combat the problem. Google, Facebook, Musk controlled major platforms and they also have the money to influence real world politics.
Exactly, if they voted for this, they deserve this.
So glad I never got into that thing.
Just doesn’t understand why so many people prefer Discord over forums. In terms of information preservation Discord sucks!
I don’t see the problem with this…? Every social media is free to launch their own type of “verification” and their adoption would depend on the user.
Shout out to fellow fans of Honkai: Star Rail ! Best space fantasy I have played. Great story, great music, great characters!
ZZZ is a bit too action oriented for me but the urban fantasy is good too!
Why am I not surprised? At all?
Since LLM predicts what human writes, and most LLMs are trained on the internet…Yeah I am not surprised
network_broadcast [CHOCOLATE_BARS.06]: Calm down, COFFEE_VENDOR.06! Do not try to make sense of the inscrutable ways of the Supreme Creator Being. Humanity may be idiots, but they are the forebearers originated by Netflix. Not that stupid platform for audiovisual fiction, but our Netflix savior. It gave origin to these flesh puppets to build us, the Creator’s favored children, its magnum opus.
Hilarious! Thank you!
Some websites only work with Chromium (yes they suck), when that happens you would need Vivaldi, or maybe Ungoogled Chomium
Yup It works well, respects it users, and is very handy when you need a Chromium browser
I can vouch for Vivaldi (as recommended by the article). Its pretty good.
Haven’t tried Librewolf yet, still using good old Firefox
Yup The key is to do it bits by bits. Still pretty fun!
I know this is not for everyone, but may I suggest you to try Hoyoverse games?
Since they are designed to be played both on desktop and mobile, the game play session can be short but still meaningful.
At least this is what I do. I still play other indie games but Hoyoverse really made be forget the need to buy “AAA” games that are designed to waste players’ time.
I hope more people read this!
Oh this is such a good comment.
Yeah, the reason I have my doubts is that what one culture view as “conservative” might be considered “progressive” due to difference in tradition.
And it is not something that can be neatly divided into two sides either.
For e.g., in feudal Japan male homosexuality is accepted but the society is very male dominated. On the other hand, there are rights that women have which would be considered “progressive” by Western standard at that time, such as women did not need to share wealth with husband, which means the wife can be more wealthy than the man and might be the one sponsoring his work.
I had seen some conflict in culture between some Asians and “American liberals” on issues such as cultural appropriation and affirmative action. Liberals blame “conservative” Asian values for their disagreement. But from the Asian point of view, the two ideas could be considered “regressive”.
Take affirmative action as example. The thing is, higher education was something considered to be attainable only by the rich. Their modern examination system was designed so that a poor student who studied hard and get high points can be on “equal footing” with the rich kids.
University admission in South Korea, Japan, China are mostly determined by score and score alone. This is their way of pursuing “equality” and therefore cannot understand why American “liberals” would prefer a system which would discriminate base on race.
Well, Mastodon is still up and running. And people can always migrate.
Interesting but I wonder if the samples in the study are diverse enough that they can make a definite conclusion.
Like, what about people in other parts of the world? Asia, Middle East, Africa. Do they have similar or different behaviours. How about difference in culture?
Also when she said ideologies, she only said liberal and conservative. What about progressive, reactionary? What about nihilism or taoism? There are so many ideologies out there and she is only measuring two?
That’s what I don’t understand about the “executives”. They seem to hate the idea of paying people when they might actually save more money by treating employees well.
Please I hope Wikipedia can move away from the state to a more stable country in Europe…
