Also that life is one we choose by wanting a solid predictable life. Anyone can online in the woods in Alaska off grid. Its just a fuck ton of work and you could starve or freeze.

bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do I have this weird reversed-"FOMO" feeling when I watch TV shows or Movies about Pre-Information-Era time period, like not as in "I miss the past", but actually as in "Okay this era is weird"?12·12 hours agoIm talking about the majority of humans, the lazy and the simple ones for whom tik tok is their lives. Yes sure, for those who are actually adventurous and interesting, it’s awesome to have this information and power. But most people don’t utililize that at all. They want spoon fed content. People don’t even want to find content. They want it shoved in their faces because they would rather not use their brains for 1 second.
I don’t agree with the making it harder to censor. They don’t have to make it harder to censor because everything is misinformation now, and by using that logic they can say everyone is just lying (except for their side, of course) so it’s right back to square 1. Have you seen how many people think ai slop images are real? I rest my case. Technology enabled the dumbest to become dumber and, more dangerously, confident.
All of this could also just be because it’s Americans im interacting with, and we are definitely the dumbest country.

If you’re sitting there with no phone, you’re more apt to pick up a book or go somewhere than just doomscroll
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.worksto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logicEnglish7·1 day agoIs this just because gibbity couldn’t recognize the chess pieces? I’d love to believe this is true otherwise, love my 2600 haha.
I have the same problem… um I guess the resurgence of 80s style things again? Seems like a lot of people love the designs (I always have) and more and more stuff is trying to mimic that style. Also the resurgence of records and tapes is good, we need to own our media again and stop streaming. Also VR improving will be fun if we can keep corpo shit out of it

Look at how many people still remember their original phone number 40 years later. Look up the study of cab driver gray matter decrease after the GPS era. We are all stupider now thanks to tech, no doubt.

Now, it’s nearly impossible to be bored, and people are much less apt to learn a new thing or go on an adventure because theyre obsessed with their phones. Institute a no phone or no internet rule on weekends, I do this and it’s great!

Sick synth setup bro!

bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?10·3 days agoYou hit it spot on. That lazy attitude pisses me off so much I will hardly help people with tech anymore. I know like maybe 1 person who actually has the want to learn, the rest are so lazy they wont even get off the couch to watch a DVD they already own so they stream it with ads instead. Infuriating. And the people using gibbity are 10000 times worse. Idiots. I think those of us who want to learn and enjoy it are going to be gone in 10 years. Replaced by total corpo idiocy.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish1·3 days agoWell yes they will, but at least it’s an option . Also a lot of vehicles have auto dimming now but they don’t work well and don’t last more than 6 years before the sensors get borked

Fuck corpos.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish121·4 days agoYes… WHY DO CARS STILL HAVE 2 SETTINGS LIKE ITS 1935. it would take basically zero effort to have low, high, stun for headlights so the rest of us who drive normal appropriate cars don’t have to be blinded by selfish assholes driving a massive truck alone by themselves that they never used for work once in their lives. Yes, im a car person and despise truck posers.
Im extremely lucky to have a good paying job and still I say tax the fuck out of the rich. They are absolutely kings of our day drunk with power and money they do not deserve that they earned by destroying thousands of lives. There is no other way to win capitalism. If there’s a hell, all billionaires will go there because they are scum. You’re average millionaire bisynes owner mom n pop store, theyre not who we are talking about. Its the filthy rich.
