A lot of the pre-mass-public social media in the 80s and 90s was actually heavily moderated and fairly civil, because the bar to entry was pretty high.

1. Afford a PC.
2. Afford a way to connect PC to an online service.
3. Depending on the service, pay additional fee for Internet specific access.

You could create anonymous names, but your ISP, your online service provider, would know your real info, so getting banned was a lot more of a threat at the time as a result.

You can raise that bar to entry monetarily, and you'd likely get a similar chilling effect. Not necessarily 'great' as a solution, but it is a solution.

BTC is mined with ASICs now.

Remember the headphone jack on cellphones? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

You mean killing the culture that didn’t generate any profit ? Where was the shareholder value ?

This is a new level of DOA.

This worked out so well for Twitter. What could possibly go wrong? /s

Ah that’s right, thanks for the reminder. And BTC mining isn’t as GPU based right?

>The proof - why don’t you delete your Instagram account? Or your Reddit account? Exactly ….

I would if they said a monthly/yearly sub was now necessary to have an account. I'd finally be free.

What if the computer starts to control the human instead?

Running at 120fps means that every single thing you do has to fit with the rest of the game and run in less than 5 milliseconds. Everything is performant by necessity… but only up to a point. You can spend years optimizing every single bit of waste to squeeze as much as you can out of the hardware, but at the end of the day, you have to cut your losses. Does another year of optimizing justify supporting older hardware, that won’t even support the full experience?

This is not gonna go anywhere

If you spend any money on any of these social media conglomerates for a blue checkmark just to prove you are somebody you're a class a idiot.

I noticed the quality for bath towels (for the same price) Made in India are nicer than ones made in China but other than that I don't expect great results from India (or another country for the low price/product output) knowing how massive the Chinese manufacturing system is for tech and their factory work culture.

I’ve lived long enough to know to get one of these.

I wonder how steep it is. Like all the way from high quality standards down to seeing teeth marks on the case?

Preordered and ready to go.

iPhones have been manufactured in China for decades before reaching where they are today. Meanwhile India has had only a year and it's not that bad. Efficiency will likely increase over time.

I don't really like buying things from China but always wondering what happens when companies started gambling on different countries to mass produce electronics.

Imagine some of it just filled with random shit and mickey mouse the entire goods.

Im pirating the fuck out of this and I haven't pirated a game in like 7ish years.

And Musk is insane for doing it. Less than 100,000 people are paying for it on Twitter. Lol

I enabled the bell icon on Aunt Janice's tombstone, so I can be notified of new content.

Why would these platforms do something to deter new users from joining? Quite literally against their business model.

Didi he finally give up on that Metaverse thing or is he still at it?

Havent read any shill articles about it for a while now.

For what? I need a blue check on my Facebook feed to tell the ads I'm real?

How fucking stupid is this going to get? 1 more stupid fucking thing Zuckerfuck and I'm done with Facebook.

I should have deleted years ago.
