meta should be cut into pieces

oh it was like that. i guess the worthwhile content from there already lives on elsewhere then

its such shame details disappear into history. i bet there were tons of stuff on there that would be interesting today that doesnt exist anywhere anymore

maybe i just havent been around in places where it would be relevant to mention it though now it feels a little odd i dont remember any any mention of it if it was that foundational. I guess its possible i have seen the name mentioned but wouldnt have known to pay any attention to it.

that one must have collapsed quite thoroughly. i havent seen even a mention to it before now

was ebaulmsworld something that was before digg?

violent is the new harmful

i wonder how long it will take for rest of the users to get fed up with that shit they keep shoving down their throats

but how to get people to understand that it even is a problem? So many seem to be content to constantly go against even their own interests. Its like most have been brainwashed so they attack you if you dare even suggest there is something wrong with all this. Or if they dont they will just be apathetic and throw canned “it is what it is” at you.

its sickening how they pretend to care about animals and nature by being vegan yet its just egotripping and blatant animal abuse. If they actually care about animals they should be the first ones denouncing vegan cat food.

at least here its more easy to just let them stew with eachother or for more sensible part of that community to just break off. in reddit its the site owner who ultimately decided how the site goes, here its the community itself. Though if majority of some community decides to just stick with some awful group, its quite bad for the minority that doesnt like the awfullness. But at least that is problem of our own making instead of what something some rich asshole decided and thus we can solve it ourselves too if we really want to. There is no way to unshittify reddit ever.

you were right, a bit austere but essentially the same

yes, that is the core of the problem. But its also too abstract to target at the moment. Those who understand dont need pointing out that it needs to go and those who dont might be able to at least see the “boils” if they cant see the disease.

tech is not the problem, corporations are.

I hope it works out as you want

make it so that every user owns their data collected by this and its all encrypted with some key private to that user. Then have only t he user be able to share the data with others. Or rather dont collect it all to some central database but have everyone make their own for private use.

But I dont think this is very good idea in the first place. What use is it to regular people to track others licenceplates? Who do you share the information with, the government? In usa they would just gleefully abuse it, in eu using it would just be horribly difficult for everyone involved due to legal issues and having private database about other peoples information isnt allowed or it requires somekind of registration i think, or was that only in finland.? In fact this might be outright illegal system in eu. Other places likely have superior database already.

And in the end, the whole thing will likely just be taken from you by force if nothing else works. Maybe some corporation will buy you out or maybe government will just seize it. No way they would just ignore something like this if it has any use to them.

So please be really careful how you do this so you dont end up making things worse for everyone by mistake. At least have some safeguards so you can destroy the whole thing if you need to so it cant be abused if anyone trys to take it from you.

Its nice idea, being able to track stuff independently, but i think it might belongs to some different, more friendly world, that is not this awful place we have to live in.

even if it was completely safe now, it will change in the fututure. Corporations just cant keep their hands to themselves and will saw any branch for short term profit because they will never get any REAL consequences for anything. Before long it would start connecting to internet to “better classify” the images by uploading everything to some server. Likely it will expand to every file eventually so it can “protect” you from whatever their spindoctors come up with.

i dread to think about the amount of double speak this would cause to get around the ai so you can say what you want

hmm, i looked it up myself and it doesnt seem to say its installed for me there. Cant find it by searching on my phone, only on my pc through search engine. But someone on comments there brought a good point by telling that his some old phone basically bricked because of this due to it being incompitable.

I also have fairphone, though i’m not sure if that really is the reason. Maybe they are indeed gradually installing it then.

i havent had it yet either. only suspicious thing that i notice is some android system intelligence, but that has been there for a while now. i havent dared to uninstall/deactivate it yet since i dont know if anything critical is dependent on it. havent even noticed any suspicious network activity either on rethink, beyond the usual bullshit like some uninstalled application still trying to connect to google as “unknown”.
