Most of all, since I switched to GNU/Linux, I didn't need to reinstall my system every single year to keep it performant, so after the first year it already felt stale!
But we have Lemmy, the Fediverse, qBitTorrent, Tor, I2P, GrapheneOS and the Armada of GNU/Linux distros. Look at Android, as long as something is FOSS, someone will take the rubbish out and make something usable, not only GrapheneOS, but CalyxOS, DivestOS, eOS and whatnot. The internet is pretty good, if you know what to look for and where to ask.
If you mean that's how machine learning image generation works, well, it's worse. The companies creating these programmes know exactly where they're taking it from. They deliberately ignore licensing, example: the GPL. Then they basically create an elaborate spreadsheet and tell the media it's alive or some nonsense. And in comes the capital.
If our particular bubble of the universe has remained unmolested for 13.8 billion years, it is safe to assume it will continue to be for the next 1000 years.
I never really used social media, since I was deterred by the contagious cancer that Instagram/TikTok/etc. because of their algos, corporations and bots are. Thanks to Lemmy being different, I thought it would be time to start understanding this.
What do you think would happen if a population stayed within its own cesspit of a gene pool for a thousand years? ;)
