LOL yeah. Just like all the other days. Copy and paste. If you remember one, you remember them all.

Not only is that deeply cursed, it also exists.

Getting closer. What if you think of pasta as type of unleavened bread. It’s made of wheat flour after all.

Can confirm.
I can’t trust my memory. The big picture is distorted and the details are gone. Who knows what happened two weeks ago, let alone months ago.

However random little things are stuck in my memory, but that’s because my mind cherry picked them. Nobody else paid attention to the events I considered worth remembering, while I ignored everything other people found interesting. Even when I feel like I remember what happened, who knows how accurate that really is.

Then there’s the internet posts. Who knows how honestly they were written.

Keep on going. Eventually you’ll prove that lasagna is a sandwich.

If you haven’t needed them for such a long time, they probably weren’t all that important anyway.

Same goes for all the physical items in my home. If I haven’t needed something in a long time, there’s a good chance I never will. This is how I reduce digital and physical clutter in my life.

When I asked this question, I found out about raindrop.io. BTW, in that discussion you’ll find all the people with 500 tabs open. In this new one, you’ll also find lots of people who just close tabs regularly.

Anyway, randrop is a service where you can dump links and go through them when you feel like it. The idea is, that if you know you won’t be checking a specific tab today, you can just save it in raindrop and cost the tab. I don’t like to have lots of tabs open anyway, but there are some sites I like to save for later. Stuff like vacation planning can produce twenty tabs just like that, and I’ll just throw them all into raindrop.

Most of them are sorted into logical categories, and I’ll go through them when I remember to. For example, vacation planning will be useful later. When that time comes, I’ll start opening all those links I’ve accumulated over the months.

I’ve already paid so much money. How many people am I allowed to hit now? I still haven’t hit anyone, so I feel like I’m missing out.

Same goes for various tech articles too. You can taste the GPT while reading them.

Who knows how many hallucinations are now spread publicly and fed to the next generation of LLMs as facts. I have a feeling that factual accuracy of the output is only going to go down as more and more of the training data contains serious mistakes.

Lemvotes is a pathway to many discoveries some consider to be depressing.

I was thinking of this scenario as dropping the Internet of the 1990s on a feudal system. If you used the Orwellian spy machine of the 2020s instead, it would probably get pretty dark, just as you said.

Why though? I think the Arab spring says otherwise.

Echo chambers would have been far more effective. Algorithm curated feeds would have amplified all extremes when further. If you think fascism went too far under Mussolini, just think how that would have looked like when everyone is scrolling FearBook and upvoting @ilDuce.

On the other hand, pictures of gulags, famine and concentration camps would have leaked out a lot sooner.

The amazing thing is, people don’t refer to their home country by a two letter acronym.

Awesome 🤩

Living without American software would be fine IMO. American silicon is much harder to replace though.

Would it help if you were to revolt, rewrite and rebuild?

That’s just 37 floppy disks of bloat. All you really need is 1.44 MB.
