Learning how to prompt an AI is much easier to learn on the job.

I do. It's largely un-indexed and undiscoverable.

The old internet was great. It required literacy to use. People who used it had a certain level of logic.

Since video internet came along, you don't even have to be literate to use it. People are more interested in what's popular than in what's true/logical. The quality of everything dropped a notch. I wouldn't mind, if I could filter it out. But websites like yours are essentially unfindable now.

I don't know about that, but the 8 track and VHS definitely deserved to die.

Gopher still exists today. Apparently it's growing.

The first thing I would do is make people aware that they can have their own web page. Too many people think it's a dark art, when I tell them I have my own website they are astonished.

They don't realize it's as easy as going to Wix or something. Anyone can do it. Break away from the diseased content filter, it can begin with you.

TV was a sucky monoculture, especially daytime TV. Good riddance.

Kind of amazing, actually. By now I'd be surprised if there's much hardware that doesn't support IPv6.

It started with cell phones, because that is when the "endless September" of illiterates joined the Internet. COVID amplified the trend because they had nothing else to do.

You might want to reconsider your wording on your hypothesis there. In its current form, it does not stand up to scrutiny.

Nice.

Cool, you can say bad things about Trump.

Now say something bad about Xi Jinping. You can't do it. You are a slave, not human.

The problem with living in an authoritarian state, it's impossible to take an economics class based in science.

If you had learned about economics, you might have learned about "dividends" and "regulations based on rule of law."

Inflation is great for making people feel rich.

You literally can now, that was one of the first things changed by Elon.

Go to Twitter and click on the "Following" tab. It even remains selected between visits, so you don't have to see the AI shovelware unless you click on the other tab.

The enshittification continues. Ruin things in the name of profit.

The uncomfortable truth is that a significant portion of the population prefers the enshittified feed, otherwise it wouldn't be profitable.
