I disagree. My opinion is that the technology did change. It just became more efficient at doing its job (killing people, surveillance, and mass propaganda).

The internet was supposed to be a gateway of information, but now it’s the largest propaganda network. Free speech is censored by closed source algorithms and the entire internet infrastructure is controlled and owned by the 1%.

We are more isolated compared to before, class solidarity is almost nonexistent, and its easier to identify people now vs before due to being interconnected real time.

I can go more on and on but the tldr is that technology has made it easier and faster to crush dissent

I guess you could put it that way. For most general applications, I prefer to use flatpak over pacman. Pacman and arch’s repos to me are still very confusing over other package managers (dnf, apt, etc)

It’s an uphill battle, but it’s better to start early than late.

Unlike before, the rich now have private armies, lobbying groups, and mass surveillance networks while we peasants own nothing. Plus, the pot is slowly boiled.

Plausible considering it’s been shown that meta is the one responsible for lobbying this shit

Hey. Didn’t know you were in lemmy

He/she grew boobs in fedora? In this case, sign me up!

So from my understanding, its just a self hosted root server alternative to ICANN?

Neil Gaiman. I still love his books and shows, but he was secretly a menace

Delaying in hopes that people forget

Hmm PIC seems familiar (doom?). From what game is this?

AI comic or not, this feels very relevant right now

Was stuck with cinnamon and xfce in my first few years of Linux due to crap hardware lol. It reminded me of windows XP/ 7 and I still prefer cinnamon over most other DEs

What visualisation app is this?

Reminds me of this clip from long ago https://youtu.be/UcaDoq44Lag

There ain’t much content on Lemmy vs reddit imo

Oh come on. Another centralised social media service that could be compromised. Wtf is wrong with these people

Might not be a lie. They might be silently rolling a feature to selectively censor/ show ICE fascists and accidentally censored all by mistake lol

I would say frontend is harder than backend (if not more tedious). State management is a PITA, you have to learn X frameworks that do the same thing, and git gud with CSS.
