It’s the End of the Web as We Know It
  • So again deleted my comment accidentally omg. I very like this idea. It’s burdensome but every phone already has simillar scanner. I wonder about privacy though. Can it be anonymised like monero?

    I imagine it as an optional feature and then verified people can opt in to only show other verified humans in some kind of next gen web similar to fediverse. Then two layers form naturally one of verified humans and the good old internet Wild West.

  • I think there needs to be a verification process to get on blockchain. Some kind of reputation system maybe

    Akin to certificates. Problem is poisoning though or other manipulation. It will be really fun problem to solve

  • China: Minorities accounting for 1% of total population make up 34% of prison inmates
  • Yesterday I have been arguing way too long with someone that was convinced the snipers on Ohio protests are here to shoot protesters. I still failed to talk some sense into them and stopped eventually but it was exhausting.

    I don’t think they were alone in this as the post had thousands of likes and some wanted to throw pipebombs and this kinda stuff

  • I wonder if the nft tech could be used to mark everything real with a proof of authenticity. Then those things that aren’t on the chain would be considered suspicious and you would have automated green border around any content that is authentic and red for the outside of the blockchain

  • The AI will become utter garbage, mark my words. It will complete the downfall of the internet though first. What will come after internet? Hard to say maybe we will exchange culture in VR? Probably at some point every kind of forum will be unreadable from automated marketing and propaganda. Reddit already is. Lemmy is too small… yet but it will crash even harder if it is noticed by the wrong people. 2 years tops to enjoy this medium

    Though I admit I am somewhat of a doomer inclined so maybe there is a way to create alternative that cannot be poisoned

  • Dissapointed in Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller
  • Unfortunately so much stuff on the web is astroturfed it’s hard to form a good opinion nowadays.

    Even the products reviews or maybe especially these it’s hard to tell what is true nowadays and what is fiction or misinfo

    Id love to brush it off and say eh just paranoid but there’s real money and motive.

    Reddit was relatively good for some time but then I heard it’s already full of marketing

  • how's your week going, Beehaw
  • As always - extreme. 5/7 days I feel like a god(dess?) and other 2 like something slimy at the bottom of the barrel. Today is one of the worse so I need to watch myself to not say something stupid and not be a complete troll menace but if I survive then in 2 days I come back again with boundless love for the world yay.

    Hard to get used to this rollercoaster sometimes I just need to not use any social media in those 2 days but always fail haha

    Also bought whole apple lineup watch, phone, laptop, ipad, airpods this week suddenly because now I am an apple fangirl.

    But it made sense right, I wanted to use google comfy life easier making features but didn’t want to give up my privacy or install some graphene os madness that would make life just harder

  • how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Holidays! Almost the end of them and I am so tired I must say. In a good way I think but I will need to recover at home for a few days.

    I am addicted to internet and mmos and I managed to curb it a solid bit due to holidays but it never lasts honestly.

    Here I was doing 10k steps a day bare feet on the beach walks, generally being more healthy than at home and I fear I will slump again into my old habits of sitting and mmoing all day. Already bought ffxiv complete edition on sale.

    Frankly lemmy is also part of my eternal crusade against digital addictions

  • How much of your life have you degoogled?
  • Lemmy definietly got me into degoogle and foss. Or rather latest reddit situation interested me in these concepts :p

    I always liked the idea of decentralized web a lot but it wasn't until the reddit fall that it stopped being abstraction and instead there is a real platform it seems with a future
