Same, I got laid off recently and 12 years of experience isn’t even getting me interviews at in-person jobs.

429 Too Many Requests

I got hit on a couple times in Starcraft 2 of all games just because I had a feminine-sounding username. I literally got “damn girl, look at that MMR” once and it’s so funny.

That’s useful AI that doesn’t take billions of dollars to train, though. (it’s also a great idea and I’d be down for it)

I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we’re basically running Doom in a word professor. I don’t know what a better system would look like, but I’d draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.

I also use it on an LG TV and sometimes it can’t run at its normal framerate with subtitles on. I haven’t figured out why yet, but it might be embedded files like someone else says in this thread. Other than that it works like a charm.

It’s not the early internet, but a lot of websites in the 00s (when I started using it) let you customize your profile. We all had horrible CSS and an autoplay song that only we liked on our Myspace profiles and it was great. Flash was both a buggy mess that could introduce viruses to your computer and an amazing outlet for creativity that I don’t think has been replaced. It was a lot less centralized and you were only being tracked across the whole internet by the NSA and not every internet company too.

Edit: I should say that I lose a bit of nostalgia every time I see forum posts from that era though, the casual bigotry was everywhere and so obnoxious

Exactly. Voting has never been enough, but it’s also the absolute bare minimum. How am I supposed to trust people to have my back who couldn’t take an hour out of their day to check some boxes?

Harm reduction would have saved trans people like me from being erased by the government.

I don’t know why I forgot to enable Proton, thank you for the reminder.

That’s so dumb I can’t believe I missed it, thank you. It’s not the most stable game even on Windows, but I’ll have to give it a try.

MusicBee not working on Linux is maybe the biggest thing holding me back. I want my play counts preserved, damnit. Also Age of Empires 2 DE doesn’t seem to even have a Proton option.

No, but pretty much everyone with a shred of power here is either fascist or too chickenshit to stand up to them.

Coming to VHS in fall 1998!

I wonder what the mildest thing a true AI could tell the oligarchs to do that would make them shut it down. Giving 10% of their wealth away and not in a tax dodge way? Stop funding fascists?

Having an idea of the government we want to have before shit goes down is a great idea. I’ve thought about writing down my thoughts for what a better government would look like and maybe I should do that. I’m sure none of us randos on Lemmy would be the people in the room where it’s happening, but if we talk about it maybe we can influence it.

If you like the aggressive energy of that song, other ones like that are WWIII; Bullets, Bombs, and Bigotry; Paradise; and KMF. They have a shitload of music but that’s what I can think of off the top of my head.

I haven’t experienced it lately, but sometimes when I watch too many YTPs I start getting fascist shit in my recommendations.
