  • I only use Lemmy and deleted my reddit account. I didn’t bother with Mastadon or BlueSky. Then again I didn’t bother with Facebook or Twatter either. If it’s important it does bubble up to Lemmy with less bots and brigading going on so that’s a plus. I do have a few YouTube channels I watch that are either about fixing stuff or oddball humor. From my own personal observation, there is a noticable difference between social media addict behavior and people who don’t make it their entire existence.







  • The fact that they purposely cripple your equipment with software is ludicrous. It’s even more ridiculous to expect farmers to know IT when they used to be able to fix their equipment with hammers and wrenches. After well over a decade, it’s good to see movement is finally being made to address this absolute b.s. It’s not just John Deere doing this, a lot of the major companies are selling you stuff you don’t truly own. Take your phone for example.











  • You were probably talking to mostly trolls, bots, and “hive minded” people. Avoid that daily dose of cortisol from just being pissed off talking to stupid people in general. Here’s a thing you can try: write all the mean things you want to say, but don’t post it. Instead, cancel your post, downvote, and move on. It’s kind of therapeutic, almost like writing a mean letter you’re not going to deliver and destroy. It may not work for you, but being angry talking to stupid people all the time is very draining. Another saying, “You can’t win an argument against stupid people. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”



  • This is Google’s attempt at staying relevant now that it’s search engine is far from being the best and people are getting their information from TikTok and other sources. Their AI is garbage at even finding factual data. No, this will not cause a “webpocalypse”. There’s already systems in place to send AI’s forcing their way into websites into mazes of infinite useless information to poison them.

    At the end of the day, every search engine’s purpose is automating the curating of websites. People can go right back to human curated lists if the worst of the “webpocalypse” happens. People also need to start relearning that the internet existed before Google and social media, and it will exist after.
