  • The web also got bad before AI. The last time you could do a web search and find pages written by enthusiastic experts and hobbyists just sharing what they have to say on the topic of your query was, like, 2005. Then, it flipped. The advent of web ads meant people could easily make money from publishing websites. Sounds great. Except it brought in people whose main goal was making money, not sharing what they love. So then the results of your queries are links to pages covering the topic in the most superficial way and the author is a total nobody if you even know who the author is. There are businesses who figure out what users are searching for and then vomit out websites targeting those popular queries.

    The same happened to YouTube. Like 99% of YouTube at this point has to be video essay channels with clickbait videos on superficial topics way longer than they need to be and released on a very frequent schedule. Early YouTube was one hit wonders. Ain't no incentive to publish regularly without ad revenue.

    The good was being drown out by the bad before AI. AI is only accelerating it.

    The participants in this are so selfishly rotten. I can't imagine I'd be able to sleep at night.

  • It would also seem that the article's existence violates Wikipedia's "no conflicts of interest" policy and the entire list of sources violates the "no self-published sources" rule. I propose the article be deleted. Thoughts?

  • It really raises eyebrows when you come across users who have posted nothing but aggressively anti-US anti-NATO anti-EU stuff for several years straight. No other interests. Nobody talks about politics nonstop. Nobody. It's straight up bizarre.

  • 1980s: You have to walk to the arcade, you have to stand to play, and you are charged for every minute of play time.

    1990s: Computer technology has improved to the point that anyone can have the arcade in their home, you sit to play, and you are charged once for the game and can play for as long as you want.

    2010s and onward: Home internet connections are now ubiquitous, enabling instant digital money transactions from anywhere, so the games industry can now nickel and dime you for everything. Video games are casinos. The coin machines are back.

    There's a golden age of gaming starting with the introduction of home consoles and ending when they started needing an internet connection.

  • Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router's unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.

  • The part of the tech stack that handles all these command editing and navigation shortcuts is the readline library. Check out man readline. There's an entire section on searching. readline is used for lots of other interpreters, too.
