I guess those insects look for “true love” out of the beer bottles…dunno can we say that the males are looking for the same thing out of AI.

I can believe that.

“I cook dead people”

I recall I didn’t get some sites working on Chrome either, when Firefox fails me 😅

Many have had big impacts. Piano, phone, computer.

I won’t be upgrading my 50mbit download/10mbit upload 😂

Some delusions can bring comfort for life. Its not all bad.

And I heard you’ll more likely die on your way to collect your win than actually win the lottery.

And I heard home is a very dangerous place, cos lots of people die because of it…or at it?

I don’t know why but these pictures remind me of AI generated (not saying they are)!

This is wholesome ♥

Care to clarify what is objectively bad? Like, an example

I think Win10 already is everything what I need.

I have gotten a small feel of 11 from my girlfriend’s laptop - it feels alright.

But I think I won’t have reasons to upgrade. I haven’t studied 11 at all so I don’t even know am I missing something lol

I think I’m gonna disagree with the fandom dying thing.

From a system’s perspective - if it exist for a reason, for someone to use it, and then they stop using it and go away, leaving it alone without any use, I’d see that system being abandoned, lost, or dead.

Then again - someone can come back to it and turn it “alive” or active again!

When I don’t find information through a search engine, I go asking it from people themselves.

Discord is an easy solution for me to find this information at that point. Much easier than generating yet another user account in a website I might use once in my life, while I already use discord a lot.
By the way - you can search for messages you have sent and for messages that were pointed directly to you. Makes delving into old conversations much easier.

Of course Telegram and other services like that can help too.

Maybe the devs love keeping answering same questions over Discord? =D

I don’t remember when I watched the telly at home previously. Most of my entertainment are games and then some YouTube and movies not so often (lurking in friend’s online streaming services or googling “watch x for free”).

Stopped watching the television when too many ads erupted even between the movies that were my last interest in this service.

Most of my telly shows I see nowadays are at a friend’s place, and I’m every time annoyed about the amount of ads.

I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!

Erm.

I recall a study about kids under a specific age that cannot get scared of looking at pictures of demons and other horror stuff because they don’t know yet what your everyday default person looks like.

So I’d argue that even people need to get accustomed to a thing before they could recognise or have an opinion about anything.

Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don’t recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there’s a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

.

I don’t buy any subscriptions. I wouldn’t have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

But don’t let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.

I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.

Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.
