See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

That post about this site being a better social media platform over Twitter because of the lack of algorithm bullshit was not kidding. Every time I go on there, it’s painfully obvious that everything runs of engagement. “Wait for it” videos, shock slop, AI images and videos, rage bait, outrage bait; anything that grabs your attention for more than a second “wins”. And it’s very good at hijacking your dopamine where you get addicted. Now to figure out how to router block it

it's its own circle of hell content on here actually has substance plus I'm not constantly “fighting” what I see

Have you guys noticed how much the internet/technology just does not listen to you anymore? I click “don’t show this artist” on Spotify and I get recommended a music video by them on the front page. I click “skip this update” on a pop up every time I open a file organization app and it’s right back there every time. O click unsubscribe on a newsletter and it keeps showing up in my inbox!! I click “delete my account” and the next time I open the website they suggest I “reactivate”.

Power is a funny thing.

They quite literally do not care how you feel and more and more tech is becoming centralized into virtual monopolies and their idea of “optional” is essentially “you don’t have to use technology or participate in society 🤷” since legally it must be optional but they just use a twisted definition knowing full well EVERYTHING runs around technology so you’re stuck using at least some of it…

( Anyone interested can try simplex chat and join the groups PSA-2, Homelab, file sharing & digital archival and intranet. We talk about this stuff a lot and how you can self host things, get away from all of this, etc. )

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?
