Yep I was thinking the same. I guess it’s a generational thing. Instagram is maybe like water to some young people, can’t be without it or life is sad.

Link doesn’t work. Probably it’s a scam/hack attempt.

I live in Sweden. It was common with ethernet connections in the apartments when I was growing up. So not a time machine. But I could be getting the exact year wrong a little bit.

And it was 10 mbit connections, so that’s just about 1 mbyte / second. Still plenty fast when it arrived.

Today I have 500 mbit connection with option for 1000 mbit. It’s common here.

Edit: I asked chatgpt and it was 1999 that the first apartments got 10 mbit / sec connections. So I was off with about 5 years actually.

But you have Netflix and social media… Aren’t you happy? So much fun to spend all energy at work so you sit at home exhausted until the next morning.

1995 or so. My first apartment had 10 mbit/sec internet. Was so cool to download anything in seconds. :)

The bait and switch classic.

I don’t care, it’s not relevant what they think.

Maybe it depends on where you live. For me it’s close to useless.

Damn I miss the 80s action heroes.

Just felt good seeing those guys doing their one liners. Pure entertainment without any thoughts of political correctness. Just fun.

I see it as a sign of health that people working with vaccines only use them when they are beneficial, and don’t use them when there are reasons not to.

I don’t know the reasons he has in this case. Would be interesting to know more.

They make a nice couple. Orange lizard team.

Scared of change? This is not just change - we have never had social media algorithms putting shit into people’s head about themselves and others, all day, every single day.

This shit is affecting people’s entire perception of the world and who they are. It’s not just some random change.

I haven’t forgotten being a kid. But when I was growing up, the so called dangers were computer games and too much TV. That was nothing compared to weaponized algorithms picking content that will “engage” people (make them react).

Some kids today are completely out there with pluto man. They just lost any sense of reality. Their entire perception of the world is from social media algorithms from tech companies. That’s one scary thought.

Sure it’s funny with “old man yelling at the cloud”, but there is something here to be concerned about.

I did ayahusca about 10 years ago. I had this big desire to figure out why we are here and what’s the point of all the suffering we go through.

I came out of it thinking it’s about soul growth.

No. I would put it under intuition and being present in your life, observing and thinking about events that occur in your life.

I think reasoning is more trying to think logically, and exclude things where you don’t have an objective reason to think it has a meaning.

I’m actually open to the idea that all this is not real. Also, I don’t believe in drugs.

Have you ever had that feeling that you can see why something happened to you, or how you can sense that something is important and you should pay attention to it?

Im also using this, works very well and has machine learning to detect faces in pics and categorize them automatically. Plus it’s reading the geo tags of images.

It’s great how people are gathering and having discussions under heavily censored platforms owned by billionaries, just amazing.

Amazing, we have so much choice now. /s

People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.

Very true but trying to change this attitude…no fun being home all the time.
