  • How much did a computer cost back then? How much were the first graphics cards? How compatible were computers with each other? How much did one album cost on CD? How easy was it to obtain information on a problem? How easy was it to price compare things between stores?

    The issue is social media and allowing everyone to voice their immediate thoughts on things in pseudo anonymity. It’s also the tendency of people to look at people’s fake persona and then compare themselves to it. I could rent a Lambo for the weekend and use a filter like I’m actually fit and still have hair and make all my former classmates insecure because they never see me in person. That’s the shit everyone wants to go away, they don’t want to give up Spotify.




  • Except not when Instances pop up for very specific niche categories. The owners can decide how to run them. Since they will likely be impassioned subject matter experts. That will spread the load of moderation away from general instances. Then if their owners get shady or whatever, someone else can create their own and they can post on the big general instances about their new hockey ballet Fortnite instance and the old instance owner can’t stop them.










  • I use an app called 'smart tube next" on my FireTV stick. Im now using re-vanced patched YouTube on my Android.

    I would use rif to browse /r/listentothis and open YouTube links of what I wanted to listen to into ~Vanced to cast to my TV. Once a video was cast onto the TV the next link would give me an option to play or put in queue.

    Then I could scroll, select, queue, scroll, select, queue, etc.

    On Android you can split two apps on your screen, one on top and one on bottom, so I don’t get pulled out of rif when selecting a song.

    I know this all sounds complicated, but it’s pretty easy once you understand it.

    Anyway, I do this when I’m working around the house. It takes the TV away from me as an option so I don’t get distracted while I’m cleaning.

    I wish the queue was available without casting, I know YouTube was experimenting with it as a premium feature. It would probably canalize from YouTube music though.
