it's a tax on all of us whether you personally see them or not. those ads control the idiots.

hm, someone told me it was so easy to cut wasteful spending.

...and then hand the IP to another studio.

The appeal in popular social networks isn't innovation, it's the sheer quantity of other users. You don't need resources just to do new things, you need resources to build and maintain the infrastructure to serve all those users. That's why FOSS social media will always be niche like Lemmy and mastodon.

theoretically, sure it's possible. but in practice, capitalism will win out in the end. this is pretty much what happened to reddit. first unobtrusive non-targeted ads, then reddit gold... you know the rest.

yet they still keep making them.

eh it'll be back. they are doing another mass effect after Andromeda.

social media depends on having a critical mass of users, and that's only going to happen with a free model.

baak baak?

that's odd, my price reduced by 100%.

lol I'd trade you.

if only i had a choice of what my work assigns to me.

remember when twitter bought vine and ran it into the ground?

i don’t care about the nub on mine, but i do care a lot about the left/right click buttons that take up so much of the trackpad area. just gimme a bigass trackpad.

wtf ever happened to vine?

edit TIL tldr: bought by twitter and killed. founders tried to build a new one in 2020 and died in 2023.

online multiplayer bullshit with monthly fees.

we are, this guy is a quack.

he’s reducing himself to that glitch. as i said in my other comment it’s the centerpiece of his own website’s ADHD page.

it's the main focus of his own website's section on ADHD.

Rather than an inherited disease, Attention Deficit Disorder is a reversible impairment and a developmental delay, with origins in infancy. It is rooted in multigenerational family stress and in disturbed social conditions in a stressed society. In Scattered Minds, Dr. Maté offers a completely new perspective on this disorder, providing hope for adults with ADD, and parents seeking to support their children.

what specifically is being misrepresented?
