Meta in a death spiral
1mon 8d ago in DeMeta from futurism.comI share the author's view that Facebook will go the way of Yahoo, CompuServe and a few others. We shall have to wait and see if the author and I are right.
I don't disagree with that analysis! What saddens me, though, is just how his cynicism has exploited those very flaws.
Us humans aren't perfect; indeed we are broken, all of us. What Zuckerberg did was to exploit our shortcomings for profit and that, I'm afraid, is simply unforgiveable.

I’ve noticed I’m having difficulty posting using a VPN. Is this specific to Lemmy?
Users Furious as Reddit Intentionally Breaks Its Mobile Website, Demanding Users Download Its App Instead
1mon 18d ago in reddit from futurism.comRedditt is becoming more and more difficult to use on the web over the last couple of months or so. They know that there are browser extensions that filter out unwanted elements, and also that trackers and fingerprints are increasingly being blocked.
You can't be tracked as easily with a properly configured browser and I suspect that this is what the change is all about. I will continue using Reddit on the browser, for now, but am happy to ditch it if it becomes a problem.
There is a lot of AI and Human slop posted these days - I am getting fed up with having to decipher posts from people who simply cannot string a coherent sentence together. I am also getting fed up with people using expletives and profanities and just wish people would communicate properly.
