Age verification, digital-only restaurant menus and paid multiplayer on gaming consoles.
licences instead of ownership, make the first sale doctrine apply to everything that ever used the word buy.
The use of AI in job sites/lisitng and screening applicants out.
Climbing prices in computer parts.
All of them. Shit’s fucked. Too much power in too few hands has ruined everything about this world.
Technology and Gaming has become too commercialised.
SAAS needs to die.
Making it so that you have to have an internet connection and register with an account to play even largely single player games.
Which also sets us up for needlessly losing the game once servers are shut down. At least we’ve got the SKG movement making some progress.
Lately I keep seeing people taking videos of themselves doing mundane tasks like grocery shopping or walking the dog. It always gets in the way of others and I guess we’re all supposed to act like doing that is okay and normal now. It’s not a few isolated events, it’s happening constantly in the last week or two.
Maybe because I don’t use other social media I don’t understand what’s going on but it just adds to the multi-year problems of people having zero self-awareness in public. I’m tired of honking at people at green lights because they’re on FaceTime while driving. Why do we need to record everything?
i saw this multiple times, in downtown in a city. what so intertesting you are walking down in an area with other people. maybe i understand in a college campus, because you are student, but random people?
what about folks who take video calls while doing this?
i was at the store two days ago, there was a guy on vid call with his wife/gf, and she was basically naked in the bathroom and they were yapping loudly. he had the phone in the cart looking down at it.
it was insane. but this is the weird world we live in now, where your gf is showing off her tits to the everyone in the store while you grocery shop. and i guarantee if anyone said anything or came into the frame, she would accuse them of violating her privacy or perving on her. i wonder if it was a fetish thing.
Right? Who’s watching these videos? Why do we need dedicated digital space for this shit?
they are ‘producing content’.
But there’s no use for this content and it’s wasting memory. I say if there’s a YouTube video with 10 views in 6 months, it should be deleted. It doesn’t need to exist and the self important nobodies can take the self esteem hit, learn to improve their content or move on to something they’re better at. Memory is already at a premium and we don’t need to waste it on people’s vanity projects.
how are you going to stop them, exactly?
I think AI datacenters eating up everything, would be a fairly uncontroversial point. At some point I’d like to be able to afford a new computer.
people using AI for thier everyday questions, even if they are asked a question by family members, they always refer “use chatgpt instead”
In the sense of “I don’t want to engage with you, please replace me by ChatGPT”? That sounds sad. Luckily I (think I) didn’t experience that, yet. I have friends etc who ask ChatGPT for the most obvious questions, though. Even if there’s someone around who likely knows the answer.
thats a person i know, always refers to it.
Hot Honey!!! One food thing will go viral and suddenly every goddamn restaurant starts doing it. Fuck off!!! Have your own ideas!!!
Inconsiderate cunts who play videos without headphones in public spaces. Usually tiktok. These morons have zero shame about it.
Sadly not recent. People used to do this with boombxes.
Yeah, but headphones are tiny and so easy to use now… and not even that expensive in many cases.
Housing Prices Rent Prices Needing Insurance for Everything Needing a loan for Everything Wage not keeping up People letting it happen
Wealth hoarding
Actual hoarding, like stuff. seems like a hidden epidemic that people dont recognize.(because you dont see it until they open thier garage.
Not recent.
True. It needed to stop yesterday.
people believing in complete nonsense and thinking they are geniuses because of it
“I appreciate you.”
If you did, you wouldn’t have to say so.
Capitalism
Might is right
