It has been sinking. Adtech is cyber warfare. They sold out. https://make-firefox-private-again.com/ everybody be sure to change your settings in about:config to disable that Anonym bullshit. No, we’re not the ‘product’ we’re human beings.

Lucky you. I’ve been a CIO, a COO, VP, and entering in to the job market at 35 starting over again nobody wants to hire somebody with those experiences. Not in IT/Cloud/Security anyways. Those are ‘you network in’ but being rehomed across country from California after 1 parent died and the other one depends on you and a promise being made to take care of them before the other passed, you’re right; it is demoralizing. I’d suggest to everybody, hone a craft and hone it good, then make a service, market it, and network with people to be able to apply it to new things. Consulting, and entrepreneurship. It’s so demoralizing going from one level to the lowest that the depression can hold you in bed that day.

Purpose? That eludes many. I feel horrible for what others are going through, just wanting to make something of themselves, for themselves, for their families, and being absolutely shit on by variables outside of their control.

Absolutely amazing!

Then hide it encrypted in an image upload or some other packet. Listen for ‘buy a <something>’ encrypt its text version, wait for something to cargo it with in a data transmission so people looking at data transmissions aren’t any the wiser, hide it in some obscure way that would look normal otherwise, it’s intercepted, sends off to advertisers. Adtech is cyber terrorism.

It would just slowly accumulate it over time, little bit here, little bit there until it has a fleet of stuff to serve you in a queue, so while you’re making more and more bits for more videos, it’s serving you videos while you make bits of new videos and sharing them over websockets that JS CDNS force-feed our browsers to centralized servers to offload similar users with similar ad-tastes to also help compile.

Some shit like that. Adtech is cyber terrorism. Never forget.

I tried to cold turkey technology. I went near insane.

Honestly not sure why anybody gives two fucks about celebrities anyways, some are okay but the underground scene has the realist people, because they live in the real world. Seeing through the illusions that what people think or believe in regards to some highly regarded opinions because somebody is popular due to ‘pop culture’ is a blessing. I say let Elon Musk have them. I’m not going to read it. Only twitter I read is the twitter cross-post spam of screenshots people post.

Zuckerberg telling us all what we already knew about being pressured to censor COVID, Hunter Biden, and whatever other posts goes to show left is evil, right is swinging around monkey bars like school children. Social media is a giant playground where everybody’s being swayed by their emotions and being tricked and lead around likes horses.

It’s crazy.

At least Elon’s having fun with it all.

Should have right clicked and hit ‘inspect element’ and changed it from 20 to 32487839423 then entered it. Bet it would have worked because, you know HTML hackers.

No no no, you want Linux desktop. Install Oracle VirtualBox and play with the different linux desktop distros and find the right one that’s best for you. It’s fun. It’s not filled with spyware and adware and isn’t bloated with Microsoft’s crazy antics. And, it’s free. Once it’s installed check out this: https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle to de-herpes your internet experience and 👍

Yess yesssss let the linux flow throughhhh youuuuuuu. Manjaro XFCE here. Play with the distros in Oracle Virtual Machines and find the right one for you. Linux desktop is seriously worth the effort. Check out Yakuake as a Quake style drop down terminal to get to hacky stuff. Learn everything about Linux. It’s fun!

I may switch over to fedora, I needed something non-debian with XFCE.

That’s unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It’s all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something

Absolutely not our problem. They can come up with other business models. Maybe they can resurrect one of the hundreds of projects/business models from them at https://killedbygoogle.com/ and run with that

Nice. I switched from Manjaro KDE to Manjaro XFCE. Check out Tilda - it’s a drop down Quake style terminal, I use ctrl + ~ https://micg.net/the-way-it-should-be-manjaro-xfce-the-lightweight-linux-desktop/

I suggest Manjaro. Debian’s always 5 versions behind, and Ubuntu’s ‘selling security’ - Fedora’s good though.

Not our problem. They can go the twitch.tv’ish way and add subscription models for people to subscribe and support their favorite content producers and Youtube can take a cut.

Just because they can’t think of a profitable business model other than annoying and exploiting the internet’s userbase while deplatforming, demonetizing and having their own myriad of problems doesn’t mean that’s on us.

Doesn’t mean you’re simping. You have a valid point, but when’s enough enough when they’re squeezing everything out of us for ad revenue and finding new ways to fuck with our psyche/psychological things like Facebook does with its highest paid employee(s) to rake in attention for cost-per-click and cost-per-view? We’re more than just ‘metrics’ and KPIS. We’re humans, we deserve joy. If youtube dies, there’s decentralized solutions out there that can become more mainstream. People can self-host and host their own content.

Agreed. It’s a form of cyber terrorism and needs to have an end put to it.

Identify them then seize all of their assets IMO.

After all the price gouging gains and PPP loans going to lining the pockets of owners buying themselves ferraris, let’s up it to 85%. They’ll manage. Since corporations are people, they can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Not our problem.
