  • It's depressing how much history is going to be lost. Entire movements have been launched on videos that are now private or removed for copyright violations, and now they are gone forever to future historians. Even looking for information or knowledge now... 80% of your results are YouTube videos. All of that knowledge will disappear forever, and it doesn't even take a cataclysmic event - YouTube's search is so actively hostile that even if you know exactly the name of the video you're looking for, you will NOT find it unless it happens to already be algorithm aligned. YouTube is BY FAR a bigger danger to the throughline of history than ANY social media platform.

  • The simple solution is to just... stop using video so much. Video is riddled with problems as a long term human record, doesn't scale, increases perpetually in requirements without actually improving quality of CONTENT, isn't indexable or searchable, isn't easily translated into multiple languages, not as easily shared, not as easy to back up... Text is not obsolete. It was our main method of information transmission for tens of thousands of years, and NOTHING will convince me that it should be replaced as the primary method.

    Again, it's a human problem. If humans accepted text and images again for the majority of information transfer, the problem would go away.

  • Yeah... the very fact this is posted as a youtube video reinforces the point of how far we are from this. The issue is, the enshitified internet is not a technology problem... it's an education/people problem.

    The internet will not be better until people are.

  • 'It looks bad': Trump panics after support for deportations tank in private GOP poll

    Jump

  • "Sir, those are pigs."

  • Trump says U.S. shouldn't have midterm elections

    Jump

  • Those people can either be classified as "don't exist" because they actively wiped out their own influence, or "as bad as the Republicans", because they were comfortable allowing it to happen, but they certainly CAN'T be classified as "magic absolution of the American public as a whole for this series of events."

  • Human meat brains are lazy. They want to do the minimum amount of work to meet their biological needs. Getting them to want to do more involves rewiring their reward structure to associate fulfillment, either internal or external, with doing more. We can talk about the myriad ways that someone can miss the developmental milestones to encourage that, but that's what's going on.

  • It's so much worse than it needs to be for no reason. They don't have the numbers to do anything, but they could at least fucking PRETEND to care that they can't.

    "Well, you guys are trying your best, but there's nothing you can do without the numbers."

    "No, no... let's be clear... Even if we had the numbers, we are INTENTIONALLY not doing anything."

  • Steve Jobs was "a truly rotten person" (2018)

  • The greatest thing he ever did for the world was be so arrogant and insufferable that he took himself out of it. Now if only he had done it before he destroyed open hardware, customizable software, the open web, e-book pricing...
