  • I think a large part of it is the internet. Like everything else, popularity ruins everything. I grew up with the internet, my family was one of the first I knew with a computer. For a long time, it was fun as fuck, play videos games, post on forums, chat with friends, MySpace, etc…

    But over the years it’s become a shell of what it once was. Everything is about engagement, predatory algorithms, ads, fear mongering, censorship, control, bots, etc… Capitalism and greed sunk its teeth into it and ruined it for profit like it does to everything else.

    Instead of it being a way to escape and have fun, it’s a place to get depressed, demoralized and preyed upon.




  • Unlike many others in this thread, I can’t download any programs on my work laptop. I just don’t have permissions.

    So I found a much lower tech way of staying green. I go to the chat with yourself chat. Then I put a 3 pound weight on the backspace button. This keeps me green forever.

    With my old work laptop, I was able to press backspace then wedge a set of tweezers in the key to hold it down.

    Whatever works lol.
