Their current feed on mobile is a mix of stuff you follow and stuff they think you are interested in based on posts you interact with.

Which basically means that you are shit scared to interact with anything that isnt from a group you have already joined, because once you do, your feed is filled with posts from subs that are minutely related to the topic you clicked on.

For example, if I click on a post which contains an interesting local event story without checking what sub its from, and its from a local town or county sub from the US I soend the next week tellingReddit I really dont want posts from every fucking state, county, town or village specific sub in the US.

Or I click on a story about an interesting car event without realising the story was posted in a car specific sub, for the next week Im getting rid of every car related sub in my feed.

Right now Im doing this for UK home improvement and DIY subs, because I dared look at a specific story. Im getting recommended shit like home made pizza oven subs

My biggest method of interaction with Reddit by far, is telling Reddit what I dont want. And one single accidental click can result in hours or days of shitty mildly related content being forced on you.

All I want is Twitters feed from before 2022 - the one which just shows posts from people or groups you follow, and thats it. Why cant I have that?

Then I have lost with my 20thb/50cent pen :(

Actually, I saw some funny alternatives, people use something like a finger-hat (you know the thing for stitching heavy fabric) - not sure what material it is.

would be pretty annoying ... don't need it often though.
Worst case I can build most stuff from F-Droid, as F-Droid only distributes stuff , that has public available sources. Hm, funny spelling mistake afailable.

No. Yield per acre is up a MASSIVE 20 and 28 percent respectively for corn and wheat over the last two decades.
And rice in Thailand for example is collapsing due to climate change.

Distribution is easier, as the population is more concentrated in urban areas, too. Which also has meanwhile upgraded infrastructure like cooling.

Germany did not start burning coal for electricity ... after shutting down Nukes.

Perhaps you could look at some statistics?

Or not ... up to you.

Not important, we are used to idiots who have no clue about Germanies energy production ...

...Nothing on them but cranky bastards contributing to climate change while moving between ticky-tacky, 40+ hours of indentured servitude, and temples to Mammon.

I largely agree with most of Klee's points, but there's a serious bias issue with his conclusion: "The internet" is just the road we use to get somewhere. Where we go is up to us most of the time. And in this case, the "old internet" is still mostly there - Case in point, I still have a crappy static personal website up that hasn't been updated since the 1990s.

Problem is, nobody wants to read my ramblings from 30 years ago any more than they did 30 years ago. People want FAANGs, even while they may openly resent those same platforms. Sure, Amazon is evil... But the alternative is leaving the house and going to a store, eew! NetFlix kills everything good after two seasons, but two seasons on-demand beats a 30-second stick-figure animation that takes six weeks per "episode" and depends on the unpaid hobbyist creator not getting bored with the project. TikTok is measurably destroying the attention spans of our youth, but we can't risk missing the next big "hold my beer and watch this" moment.

The problem isn't "the internet". The problem is us as a collective whole. When there's demand for trash, sanitation engineers flip to supply side.

Unfortunately I've found that no single search engine does a particularly good job anymore. I end up searching in Duck Duck Go, Google, and even Bing of all things because they all do a crap job of returning good results now.

I suppose if altavista.digital.com was still working I'd try it too.

The primary reason companies advertise with Google is to drive search results to their site.

If AI summaries become good enough that nobody needs to click the links anymore - What are advertisers paying for? "Brand recognition" only takes things so far, at some point they need real customers to drop in and throw money at them or they won't have anything to advertise.

My company ships data dumps like this to multiple vendors on a monthly (sometimes weekly) basis.

My side of that equation takes security very seriously. The recipients... Well... When someone offers to send you credentials out-of-channel, the right response is never "Just email it, this isn't a shared account" followed by getting cranky at being told that ain't happening.

An undocumented register ... provides a backdoor ...
Hmkay!

Well,
you did not get the joke.

Anyway: Vi/m and EMACS are: Text Editors.

On an android phone/tablet you can download any app, and install it with the File Explorer.

No appstore needed.

Yield is harvest per acre.

This is most certainly not going up.

Of course we have at the moment no problem with starvation ... but that is mostly a distribution problem and might become again one, if gasoline prices spike faster than EV trucks get available.

It probably works with a simple touch pen?
I bought one for 50 cents in Thailand.
Rarely use it on my phone, but might be useful on such a touch screen.

There is only one way to ESC.
