New dead Internet theory just dropped

Thanks for your professional input, I really appreciate it.

Your last paragraph is especially important. I overlooked that part, although it’s obvious in retrospect.

Doesn’t matter which team nominated him. A spook is a spook, anything they touch is gonna get spookified (not that any product from Silicon Valley isn’t already a fancy surveillance and propaganda system).

I had also bought the standard line that it’s about imbalanced or incorrect brain chemistry, but I’m not sure anymore if that theory holds any water.

There are a lot of criticisms leveled against it, but I found the book Lost Connections by Johann Hari to be incredibly thought provoking. This was even before I had gone full tankie and read a bit into the links between mental health and capitalism. The tl;dr thesis of Lost Connections is that anti-depressants are cover up the symptoms for a time, but the root of the issue is a broken social structure, for which capitalism is responsible.

That’s fair. I also didn’t mean to imply that anti-depressants aren’t currently without value. Even just speaking from personal experience, my family would look a lot different without them.

I always wonder if anti-depressants would even be necessary in a people’s state on its way to communism.

Wait, so workplace SA is now just casually called “unusual” and “boundary-blurring” relationships?

I usually look through a few reviews, both on computer journalism sites and forums for real world experiences.

This one seems perfectly sufficient, especially for the price. Won’t break any records, but it’s not supposed to. It’s better suited as a secondary storage drive though, there are better options out there in terms of an SSD to install your OS to, specifically ones with some DRAM cache and a higher TBW.

Wholesome US espionage-industrial-complex backdoor!

Good that those things are taught in some places. I can only speak from my own experience in high school - we were required to have laptops for school but were never taught how to be safe online.

Some people put their whole lives on the internet and never once stop to think if it’s a good idea. Then again, online safety and security are never taught or communicated, at least in the west, maybe by design.

So they’ll just start shoveling wood into coal power plants in 2030 and unfurl the “Mission Accomplished” banner.

In this case “national security” means ensuring US intelligence affiliated companies have full access to control over everything people do with internet connected devices.

Ironically Tibet has more autonomy than those reservations.

VPN server on one, client on another.

A matrix bot on each end would work too but seems unnecessarily complicated.

Hugo with a simple theme like book or paper should do it. Alternatively Jekyll or Docusaurus, in principle they’re all the same in that they process markdown files and dump out a static site.

Astro for a more feature rich “development” experience.

That’s interesting, Hugo is the only SSG I’ve had luck with so far. I’m kind of stuck on Docusaurus at work and it’s a disaster.

On the face of things they’re all so simple, but aren’t documented well for users new to SSGs, and the build often spits out something unexpected with no way to figure out why.

I know I’m not part of the target audience for pretty sites, but the average user gets frustrated with poor design choices and outright broken websites as well.

Just as one recent and therefore present example, I was on a pretty site the other day and nothing happened when I clicked on “About Us”. The next thing I did was close the tab. As you say, first impressions mean a lot.

I hear complaints about these kind of things at work constantly as well. As an internal product owner of sorts users think I and the devs make poor design choices on our own, but all we can do is manage the best we can with the UX garbage Microsoft comes up with.

Pretty sites are cool and all, but in my experience super simple things often just don’t work. I’m not patient anymore when it comes to stuff like that, so I’ll close the tab real quick and find the information elsewhere or move on to the next thing.

Forgejo is a git server, forked by Codeberg from Gitea after Gitea got bought up by a for-profit corporation.

Codeberg is a non-profit organization which runs a public instance of the Forgejo git server.

You can make an account on Codeberg.org, save repos there, and contribute to other repos, like on Github. Or you can run your own Forgejo instance to use either privately or open up to public use.
