Life is a dream, only death is real

What do you think could dethrone it?

Same thing happened with Mastodon to an extent. Twitter migrants want a platform that is at least as “good” as Twitter.

Mastodon has at least as many features as Twitter, but almost no important users to follow.

Threads has a lot more important users, but far less features than Twitter.

Though Mastodon’s key advantage over Threads, is the fact that people are more willing to “believe” in the Mastodon project. Mastodon had no high-profile controversy yet. It is FOSS, the people are friendly and it is slowly growing organically with a few growth spurts here and there.

Meta Threads has the same image problems as Twitter. Zucc and Musk are probably equally controversial figures. I imagine people mostly joined Threads because of FOMO and group-think. There is no reason for most of them to use it over Twitter.

In the end tho, I don’t see Twitter being de-throned by either of these platforms.

Hyperloop is such a hot mess. Everyone talks about something different, when they mention Hyperloop. There is no consensus among pro-Hyperloop and anti-Hyperloop people, what this project even would look like from a barebones conceptual perspective.

In my eyes governments see Hyperloop as some kind of prestige project. All big governments invest in it, otherwise you are not modern. America, EU, China, Arab oil states and India.

Somehow “Hyperloop” has become a political buzzword, just like “Smart City” or “Green City”. Everyone claims to build those, everyone invests in those, but they all seem to be fantasy products, that go nowhere.

You could make seperate accounts for different topics. Like make one account for memes, one for technology, one for news/politics, one for educational purposes etc etc.

Pretty much every Lemmy app lets you login with multiple accounts at once. Wefwef does that too, if you prefer websites over native apps.

That makes seperating your feeds a more clean experience. That’s how I do it for Youtube example.

If I open Youtube, because I want to listen to music in the background, I don’t want to get distracted by memes, news, vlogs, gaming stuff etc. That’s why I log in with my Music account where I only subscribe to musicians. This gives me a clean feed and the algorithm works in my favor to keep me at the topic at hand.

It’s hard to remember song names, because most EDM tracks are non-lyrical.

For example in dubstep, most trends age poorly.

Skrillex- inspired stuff or “Zomboy - Terror Squad” copycats sound really oversaturated nowadays. Even “hip and cool” commercials made some bootleg versions of “Ruffneck Bass” and “Equinox” from Skrillex.

Also samples and sound design from many EDM tracks 10+ years ago feel really unoriginal from a modern listener’s perspective.

There are obviously also a lot of exeptions. Old stuff from “Tha Trickaz”, “Savant”, “Xilent” etc etc all still hold up imo.

Nah dude Big Tech will replace every institution in America and start to divide the states among each other and colonize them with their employees.

Citizenship is outdated and barbarism, employment to an allied company is the civilized way.

My taste in music mostly stayed the same since childhood. I just like more genres now.

I am really into EDM, old EDM songs from popular subgenres oftentimes feel “outdated” in a sense.

For non-EDM enjoyers, its all beeps and boops anyways tho.

You could make Iulius Caesar sing Gangnam Style, if DNA Analysis AI and deepfake voice AI work both towards this common noble goal.

I am not talking about America vs Russia. I am talking about the fact, that Internet censorship doesn’t really work.

Chinese citizens can easily bypass Internet restrictions, implemented by the second richest economy in the world, just through a simple VPN.

The only way for a country to implement an effective deepfake ban, would be disconnecting from the global Internet entirely and let computers only connect to a government controlled intranet, like in North Korea.

And even then, with a USB stick with a copy of the illegal deepfake software, a criminal can still easily do, what this article is talking about.

You can’t download a tank.

One leak would make this deepfake softwate publicly available to all bad actors anyways regardless of ban.

Would it even be possible to ban? Every military in the world wants this technology.

That’s why I never take narcotics and just watch my surgeon, while they cut me open

Don’t platforms do this already?

Yeah blocking words like reddit, lemmy, fediverse and threads could probably give you more original content.

Blocking political buzzwords would be probably great for mental health reasons.

No need to apologize, I understand your viewpoint. I don’t understand your “Lol, nice hyperbole” comment tho.

"We should let actual terrorists communicate and radicalize others, because there’s a block button already. PS: I’m very smart.” <— Isn’t that exactly what you believe in then?

Horror never really faced me, but the Lavender Town urban legend, Squidward’s Suicide and Sonic.exe all scared me shitless to the point, that these made more religious.

Have mercy with yourself.

I would like the opposite. Hide any upvotes/downvotes in any context

The Internet is a mistake.
