College students are easily manipulated, and susceptible to first-instinct fallacy.

If they can get them rallying behind some cause on the other side of the world, or some random ragebait, they get stuck on it, and the government doesn't have to worry about them fighting the forces that are screwing them over in their own country. Especially if any legitimate cause can get infiltrated and discredited. (Remember OWS?)

Well, you do you, I guess. Just don't be surprised when someone who offers a convenient platform they have control over start to do nasty things. Every single one does it eventually. Enshittification.

One day they may decide they don't like you using a certain color text, then controlling what you can talk about, words you can't say, or how many ads they harass you with. The beauty about a decentralized platform is you aren't beholden to some asshole who can cancel you because you said something they didn't like or decide you can't talk on Tuesdays because they said so.

Yes, teamspeak is not beholden to a central big brother. You can host a server, however you want. It's primary use is a group of people having voice chat in a game, or conference.

IRC isn't made to be a forum. It was made to be a real-time chat solution. You join, talk about what you want to talk about, and leave. For archival purposes, and editing messages, that's what forums are for. Still, many people would idle in IRC, and there are addons for servers that you can authenticate a user and retrieve offline messages, but people rarely used such things.

You can host either of them on a home Internet connection pretty easily.

Of course, they would only admit the obvious after the goal is accomplished and damage done, with no consequence or accountability.

They only did so, because they couldn't push all the malware and adware in doze 7/8 the same way, even though the only functional difference is some APIs designed just to push things into obsolescence. Since people's biggest excuse to stay shackled to windows is "gaming", they did their best to make the next version of directx incompatible with anything but 10 (or beyond).

The problem with a "free speech" platform is that people value their anonymity, and that brings both good and bad with it. Unfortunately, making it pay-per-view would have to introduce doxxy payment methods.

Also, history shows that people are not willing to pay a small amount for such things, as sites for free e-mail/social media flourish, while paid ones remain tiny and obscure. Does anyone remember SomethingAwful?

I wonder if running a site with a crypto-currency protocol baked in would be possible. Basically pay the equivalent of a few pennies over a blockchain verification to make your post/comment go through. That could slow down bot-spam, and make it easier to regulate/block certain addresses if they even find it worthwhile to buy a chunk of crypto to do it. Even have those posts signed as a way to verify who someone is, as only they would hold the private key.

I think a lot of that has to do with the same things being suppressed from discussion on other sites like reddit.

Also, even those who aren't so politically toxic may focus on those things and even use them to test the bounds of censorship.

Teamspeak is a few decades old. It's basically a simple voice-chat augmentation for games that has text channels to go with it.

IRC has been fun in the past, as it's pretty straight-forward, but complicated enough to keep most of the tards away... and by tards, I mean modern day obama-phone users looking at political memes on farcebook.

This site has an IRC chat embedded, which is kinda neat, but it's a bit buggy and resets frequently.

Anybody can run an irc server, even on the crappiest PC. Get a bunch together and form a network that stays up even if one or more go down.

That reminded me of when someone was telling me a slam-dunk way of trolling even a slightly insecure woman is to stare at her forehead for a second until you have her attention and say "wtf happened to your eyebrows?" and then turn and walk away leaving her stewing... possibly for days/weeks. I've never done that to anyone, though, and never really got why it would work so well. It's weird how women interact and what different things they focus on.

How socially-retarded and insecure does a woman have to be to have it on the forefront of their mind to insult someone's chest-melons face-to-face? You should just point and laugh hysterically at them and go about your business like they're invisible.

A man might insult a woman's titties, but never to their face, and imo the feature is seen more of an either positive or neutral thing, but rarely a negative thing unless she's an asshole and you just want to pick at something.

Since our processing power has grown, this has been much easier to accomplish. Want to compile keyloggers, trackers, adware with the software these days? No problem, the end user won't even notice the lag.

Should I just leave the internet for good, and would I miss anything? by Polar64 in AskSaidIt

I think it's already gone for the most part. Most people don't seem to realize it, and don't remember what we used to have, and how important it is.

I remember the days before most people had mobile phones, and I would get online to chat with random people, and met tons of great people and had a lot of fun talking about random things, even if we didn't have all the same opinions about life/politics.

That was during the time it was considered proper to only use aliases, and keep personal info off online interactions like chat rooms. All of those people have now vanished, and with the death of so many IM platforms like MSN, AIM, Yahoo, Skype, many IRC networks, etc., may never find them again. Part of me wants to, but another part of me wants to remember them positively, and not risk learning they are completely different people decades later, and ruin the image I have.

The whole situation is depressing. The golden era of the Internet went by in the blip of an eye, all within a single generation. I feel lucky to have experienced it, but equally more painful to know, and see it swept away while the world seems unconscious of it all.

It would be hard to impose absolutism on yourself with respect to the Internet. Especially how it's being ingrained into everything more and more.

My thoughts would be to bend those guidelines a little bit to limiting the days, or sites you typically visit that haven't offered any good value.

I've found that most of my interactions now are negative.

If I post something well thought out, and useful, it usually gets ignored and buried.

But anybody responding to me 9 times out of 10 wants to argue over something trivial, defend some scummy company, or rant/flame/spam pejoratives without providing anything useful.

The people I've had positive interactions with over the years are slowly evaporating, with none to take their spot.

I don't miss it that much, though. Not only are you cramped closer together, you get some of the more difficult personalities that come with budget-apartment people, like being quicker to anger, annoying/careless/thoughtless/passive-aggressive habits, lesser ability to manage conflict like adults, etc. Compare it to reddit 2008 (the homeowner) to reddit 2024 (the apartment rat).

I find it unsettling that vehicles rely so much on computers for mission critical features like steering/gas/brake. I feel these should all be direct linkage and overridable in the event of a malfunction or failure. It seems like with newer vehicles, they are not.

It's not as bad as they make it out to be. You can hire a property manager who handles applicants/screening (weeds out problems before they start), as well as manages the books for about 10% of the rent. Doing it properly mitigates most of the problems. I have never had a problem myself, and just treat the small issues as a cost of doing business and budget accordingly.

For every outrage-bait story you hear about bad landlords and bad tenants, there are many more where people aren't jerks. For those inexperienced, and even moderately savvy with things, the property manager's services are worth it. The "professional tenants" (ones who apply to squat or cause problems) avoid the companies and experience people, and prey on the naive random person. They also make sure you (and your tenants) are in compliance with all the local laws, and know them well because they deal with it every day. If you ever rent a place out, I highly encourage utilizing a good property manager.

In their minds, it should be free

This will probably outrage some, but if I factor in the price I paid for my home 20 years ago, and it's value now, not only have I lived for free the last 20 years, but I'm in the black by about $500/month averaged through that time after factoring in paying for the entire house + mortgage (interest + taxes + insurance) + utilities. And I rounded up on those costs.

I literally have been living free just by being a homeowner.

To summarily dismiss something because "all sources that don't agree with my statement must be bad" is just a poisoning the well type of argument.

If there's any part of a wikipedia article you feel is not accurate or biased, you can participate in the talk page and in editing of the article as well. The history of those are publicly available, too.

Since the USA is the biggest financier of Israel's military, they are playing to US politics to get support. They assume rightwing=support Israel, so creating a left-wing=supports palestine movement might gather some sympathy from those who vote blue and blindly agree with everything they read someone tells them it's a left-issue, and it appeals to their bleeding heart. In reality, all parties in the USA support Israel the same, but play it like there might be a difference, like how you would play good cop/bad cop.

Thing is, it's much more complicated than that. The "Pro Israel" bots will only say things that make them look good, while denying or playing the "whataboutism" card towards anything negative. The Palestine stuff is the same way.

But reddit being reddit, 90% of those comments are probably bot-generated, and that's not even counting the fact most of them are [ removed ].

Nobody can have a real conversation online about the nuance, complication, and the fact they're all both justified, and "war crime-ing (for lack of a better verb)" at the same time
