#internet dying

I think in the long run I might ended up sticking with tumblr as my new home, with mastodon on the side.

Because this place is really gonna be the last remnant of "Web 2.0" before we monetize everything to hell and back. Twitter isn't gonna get better anytime soon, in fact it's heading worse as fascist is being unbanned.

Post is run by dorks who have believe shit like this

"oh no don't discriminate against..." *checks notes* "rich people. Yea because billionares are totally a class worth protected. What a bunch of dorks.

Meanwhile Mastodon is just full of people circle-jerking about how much better Mastodon and defederated system is and it just reminds me of early 2000s Linux forum in the worst way possible!

(also spoiler alert: it isn't any better. I'll make a separate post about how defedarated systems is not resilient against the banality of evil)

Also discovering art and artist using their current system sucks ass and they have the weird culture (especially over the general instance) that 'demand' artist to put content warning over their artwork because "they didn't consent to the self-promotion of your own art" and other silly reasons.

You kinda have to join an art / content creator specific instance if you want people who can respect and appreciate artist.

So that leaves me with Tumblr, the only place where it's still weird and full of art even after Yahoo/Verizon tried to fuck this site over. (I left Tumblr after THAT shitshow)

And since Tumblr's gonna intergrate with ActivityPub soon (the thing that makes Mastodon, Mastodon), that just give me more reason to put some effort into my tumblr now.

Attention! Google is officially removing their cached page function.

It was never about helping you, it was always about controlling and moderating the flow of information.

We grew up being told "if you say something online, it's there forever!" But, in recent years, the trend is more openly "if you say something online, it will be there only as long as it's profitable." Stray from the ruling norm and you're suppressed, stray from profitability and you're tossed away.

Of course they're pushing for a shutdown of the Internet archive, cached sites, and open forum posts. Why let you access information for free, when instead they can gate it behind a proprietary app and charge you for access?

Never rely on a corporation to ever help you. Never rely on a business to hold your interests at heart.

Also keep in mind: Google is blocking adblockers in the chrome manifest v3 update slated for June of this year.

#google #dying internet #along with banning adblockers on chrome starting june 2024

Anatomy of a Champion - Viaplay documentary | Part 3/3

"Every athlete is different when it comes to mental toughness. And Max is on a very high-end of the scale. He's so driven in himself to achieve the results that he continues to achieve. But you know, that's what it takes to get to the top." -Bradley Scanes

Bonus:

#max verstappen #red bull racing #myf1gifs #viaplay specials #the way he'd always rather be sleeping eating or driving his sim with his internet friends than sweating on a bike or god forbid running #but he still does it #because it helps to drive his boy car fast #which helps him to win #which gives him a chance for a title #which is the ultimate goal even after he's done it twice #mans just dying on a bike like if i don't finish this i won't win 😮‍💨 #(made the gifs and typed those tags in april #still agree tho #probs time to set this post free)

"Sollux does NFTs" Sollux is the sole maintainer of an obscure but essential piece of code from which are build a bunch of softwares and frameworks used by big companies. One day some company pisses him off by idk exiging he renames his code to something else bc rn it has the same name as the company and they don't like that, so instead he makes his code unavailable and breaks half the internet in the process.

#Sollux is NOT a tech bro sorry guys #he built up a functionning network out of derectit computers and a dying internet for his friends to use #he coded a whole isekai-level game out of an old temple texts's translations #that's the least tech bro shit ever #Sollux Captor #homestuck #rambles

As the impending heat death of the internet, our library of alexandria, inches ever closer, here are some resources that will teach you everything you need to know about digital archiving.

Digital preservation is the only process that can and will preserve everything you love that (currently) only exists in the digital realm. It’s not 100% guaranteed to work, but let’s be real—your own painstakingly, personally, manually cultivated digital archive is all you’ll have left of the images, blogs, recipes, videos, fics, fanzines, games, servers, forums, articles, peer-reviewed scientific studies, “illegal” musicals and even the friends you found online, when the internet is completely gone.

And yes, you can trust me on this, because I've had to help family friends create a personal digital archive of their own. She chose to pay for archiving software in the end, but that's not important.

The basics of/anticipating potential roadblocks to adequate digital preservation:

What to expect from the quality of your digital archive in the future:

Also! Fun fact: you can download the files that make up your entire tumblr blog!

Any additional resources you have or know of would be greatly appreciated, so please don't hesitate to share them.

Please spread this post so that it finds the people who need it the most right now.

You know someone has terminal online fandom brainrot when they say, “this is what the antis wanted all along and I hope they’re happy now” in response to actual books being banned and trans rights being taken away…

#I cannot stand proshippers #like how can you look at the voices of queer people and poc being silenced by conservatives and be like ‘ah yes…the antis strike again’ #KILL MEEEEE #moth rants #proshipping #this is why I don’t like them THIS IS WHY #people are dying Kim and your only focus is winning some stupid internet fandom war

this thought has minimal to no substance and i'm inhaling so much copium about q!phil's wings right now but the skull phil got a picture of today is most likely of a deer right? well i tried seeing if deers' skulls have any set meaning and one of the things i ran into is that the deer in some cultures is seen as a symbol of regeneration because of their antlers shedding off and growing back through the seasons. there are other meanings of course but i can't stop thinking about that one specific possible meaning especially connected to the book regarding phil's flying,,

#qsmp #qsmp philza #philza #i am so intriqued by this lore i'm losing my mind #i can't wait to see what they're cooking #i'm fine with whatever they'll do because my interest is Peaked #is it connected to rose? or mumza? a figure we haven't seen before? bonnie? #who knows #anyway i hope this post sends my internet is fucking dying right now
