The current TechBro fetish, just like the Metaverse was, and the NFTs, and the Crypto.

When the bubble burst, which will be the next TechBro fetish?

How can someone think so much and come to such a stupid conclusion?

It's like walking on your hands because you can't find your shoes.

For most of them nothing is real, neither the stars nor the planets, and any mention of those things before modern days was planted by the shadow government or something. Some even think the moon is fake too and the sun is some kind of big light bulb in the sky or whatever.

More than believers, they are deniers, of everything.

It is worth mentioning that the """""IA Writer""""" is plagiarizing from the others, but the moron doesn't even know it.

Use the word "Woke" (Or "Progre" in my language) Unironically.

Something, anything in the freaking moon.

Why haven't we been back there in, like, 50 years? That mission was done with computers that were less powerful than my stupid phone.

Anything, a telescope, a transmitter of I-don't-know-what shit, a lunar farm, a Coca-Cola or Disney advertising, ANYTHING!

Any Apple product, mostly the iPhones. If you live in Latin America, those things are more a burden than something useful. They are too expensive, too fragile, and too Eye-catching for burglars.

They eats up your phone plan in hours just by existing, you can't borrow a charger because everyone around you has Android. The simplest things to do on Android are an ordeal on Iphone.

The only way it can be worth it is if you have all Apple products (iMac, AppleTV, iPad, etc). But for that, you better be prepared to pawn your soul.

Imagine suscribe to YouTube premium and still watch ads...

"Doom Eternal" eternal confirmed?

I published the first chapter of a fanfiction and someone already liked it.

They are into something...

What about a Pokemon dating app? Like, you fill a quizz that gives you the type of Pokemon you are (with stats and all) and you have to match with the person that is most compatible to you. If everything goes well, you two have a new baby pokemon to take care.

It's so stupid that it could somehow works.

I don't remember if it was when I was 18 or 19, but there was a birthday when my plan was to invite my friends over for pizzas and have a good time at home. I had communicated this very clearly to my family. The thing is that when my friends arrived at the time I told them, my family didn't have anything ready, I asked them what was going on and they didn't answer me. My friends, who lived far away, had to leave at dusk. It was then that my family became active, and they put me to make the pizzas, the appetizers and so on, all for them and without my consent or knowledge. Eventually my friends came to think that I didn't want them to eat pizza or be there to celebrate, and it made me feel really bad. I think ever since then, when my family asks me what I want to do for my birthday, I say nothing, since they will still do whatever they want.

Room temperature superconductors. Those things are insane, but by now, as far as I know , the only way to create them is with extremely low temperatures.

Now THATS a "Humorless" toaster. Great work.

Housing for everyone.

When making rice at home and if there is still some left over after eating, what I do is compact it as best I can and put it in the Air Fryer. It turns out very crispy and pretty cool.

You are now morally obligated to go to a moderator and ask them to ban you.

Believe me, even with more parties, politicians would manage to monopolize the attention of voters by assimilating smaller parties into "coalitions". Take for example my country Venezuela, there are supposed to be about 30 parties, but half of them were consumed by the PSUV (the ruling party) and the other half are barely creating an opposition coalition, bringing us closer to bipartisanship.

I mean anyone who use the word Woke (Or Progre in my language) unironically.

Find a hobby that will allow you to keep your sanity during difficult times (unemployment and such) and after you retire.

Perdón, soy hispanohablante y confundí IA (Inteligencia Artificial) con AI (Artificial Intelligence)

What you say sounds a lot like what is happening with the hard drive. Thanks for clarifying it for me!

I have tried Apple products before (2 iPods as gifts). All the good memories I have are from pirating them, the bad ones are from the base operation of the products. An Apple product on its own is a terrible experience. Only together with other products of the same brand is it worth it. But to achieve that you have to pawn your whole life and almost join a cult.

Besides, I'm not willing to pay a crazy amount of money for a device that does what my current phone already does but better (for my needs).

They have their own places to sleep, to eat and Litter bo. At the moment I do my best so that they don't meet directly and don't have any problems: if the older cat enters one room, I put the kitten in another. I plan to do this for a couple of weeks and then introduce them more directly, with the kitten in a cage so she doesn't get attacked.

They grew up in a different era, and as people get older it's harder for them to let go of backward ideas. Even my mother, a fervent feminist, from time to time makes transphobic comments that are born more out of ignorance than anything else. Sometimes she seems to understand and other times she doesn't seem to want to understand. My father, on the other hand, is also generally a good person, but his machismo and homophobia are very strong. One day he had said that he would rather shoot himself if he found out that any of his children were Gay, that phrase still haunts me and prevents me from being more open with my bisexuality. I love him dearly, but he is far from perfect. I don't know what my grandmother's political views are, but she has always come across as loving and receptive. She taught me to Crochet even though I was a man, she insisted that I pay no attention to anyone who told me it was a woman's thing. Despite this, she is a simple woman and very disconnected from the outside world, and from what my mother has told me, there was a time when she was terrible. Old people are... Complicated.

My family has a history of blood pressure problems, so my mother, in order to keep control, has had to buy a couple of devices to measure her blood pressure, which she also uses with my father and grandmother.

I just think it's fantastic that such devices already exist and are so affordable. It makes me wonder if maybe in a handful of years we will have the ability to do x-rays at home and things like that, it would be great.

I took the month of Halloween as an excuse to replay all of Silent Hill and it has been a fantastic experience, very nostalgic. I'm already playing the 4th game and when I finish it I'm going to jump into playing short horror games on Itch.io.

Proudly an Edgy Bitch and some times a depressed homosexual.

Jesus Christ... I mean, Kim Jong-un...

You're one of mine 🤜🤛

Where I live (Venezuela) computer components are not very cheap or easy to obtain, and I don't have the money to afford an SSD (at least not now nor a near future)...

I would say the pandemic, but for the better, let me explain: What happened is that several things came together at that time: my first (and at the moment my last) breakup, failing almost all the subjects of the two universities I attended at the same time, the stress of attending two universities at the same time, and then the pandemic happened.

I had literally broken down as a person, as a human being. I needed help and I sought it wherever I could. I was never very close to Christianity like my family, so I couldn't find answers there, but I did have some interest in Buddhism, so I took advantage of the lull in the world because of the pandemic to read about it, and that helped me a lot. I didn't convert to Buddhism or anything, but I was able to assimilate some of its teachings into my way of seeing the world and allow myself to heal. I began to accept myself, to forgive my mistakes, to stop seeing myself as a failure and a burden to my family. When I found the limits of what I could accomplish on my own to continue healing, I sought professional psychological help, something that was unthinkable for me before. I started medication and have been feeling much better ever since.

I can now say with complete confidence that I like the person I am now, I am more confident in my abilities and I am more optimistic about my future. I think if I had continued with my pre-pandemic pace of life I would have collapsed, maybe not even still be alive.

I believe that from time to time one needs to stop for a moment, step out of the mad tide of the world and allow oneself to heal so as not to succumb.

Oh, now they're going the theocratic way, wonderful....

Making a community also implies moderating it, doesn't it? I would understand that there are people who just want to see and post things they like and not have to be aware of banning users or deleting unwanted posts.

I say that because I am part of those people, moderating content is hard.

Holy crap! That's an excellent idea! And it fits wonderfully with how I plan the personalities of the protagonists would be! Thank you so much!

Huh, I have never hear anyone using "Woke" in a good way, but okey.

In my opinion, enshittification occurs when, among other things, the user experience is "ruined" in order to generate profits by offering "improvements" that are nothing more than going back to previous states of the platform, only now paying or paying more.

While it could happen that some parts of the Fediverse could become Shitty, it seems impossible to me that it would happen in the whole fediverse. There's always the option of blocking problematic instances and such. And anyway, users who enter the fediverse do so mostly fleeing from enshittification, so, I think, we are less willing to put up with that kind of bullshit and will leave sooner rather than later, maybe creating something new (and better, if possible).

Whenever I see on Youtube Shorts something too crazy to be true, I immediately do a quick research and don't stop until I have three sources (counting wikipedia) to corroborate the information.
