With the proliferation of illegal proxies, vpns and scrapers you can't trust the authenticity of traffic anymor. It also means that the internet is getting "ossified" as only a small amount of trusted protocols and clients are allowed now. With malware finding even more back doors the internet basically is an untrustable medium now. Cybersecurity has become pointless because the maniac is in the mailbox.

Because that's how you get PS5 emulators.

Linux users can never complain about Windows 11 ever again now.

Now all these obsolete devices have to be landfilled instead of being used in retro computing environments. Everything is being trashed due to AI. I've also heard of many indie websites shutting down due to only getting views from scrapers.

Say what you want about Windows 98 and Internet Explorer but it worked on Celerons with 64MB of RAM.

Unfortunately, if Firefox becomes primarily known for adblocking then websites will start blocking Firefox en-masse. It has 2% market share so websites can afford to lose 2% of ad-blocked traffic with guaranteed ad revenue for the remaining 98%. You know this will happen, that's why Google will eventually start breathing down Mozilla's neck in regards to ublock origin. This will happen eventually once they know they can get away with it.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

This annoyance forced me back to Windows :(. (and right clicking always on top or going back to an obsolete display system is not a fix).

If you look at all the maths involved there should be prior art for virtually everything. Considering how embedded video is part of the modern internet the whole thing should be blown up as patent free and get it over with. We have to use inferior technology in Linux distros due to overly broad patents to the point that even animated gifs were patented in the past, we basically have brute forced all algorithms now with the patent space.

Since you have to e-mail the admins for an account here. Manual verification will come to all sites eventually.

You enjoy using Microsoft's shit at this point, because we told you in the 90s to switch.

All Universities, colleges and schools need to kick AI permanently out of the institutions and focus on high quality human research as their edge. Chatgpt.com needs to be blocked at the firewall of all human resecting nations. In an era where slop is the default, the humans that fight back will be kings.

Too many people have been scammed by companies by getting degrees but not getting jobs from them being gaslit that they studied the "wrong subject" or you didn't do enough "slave internships" all while being loaded up with student debt all while they wanted to replace our jobs with slave labour all along, first they tried actual slavery, then they tried third world wage arbitrage now they are just using AI to get pesky humans out of the loop altogether.

All human knowledge destroyed by AI and all human labour destroyed by companies that have more money than cities of gold, companies are not fit to run society and we need real for humans by humans societies that feed and house us properly so we can stop having endless wars and exploitation.

Forget Microslop, it's Microswastika now.

All these patchwork legislation needs to be joined up, we need to make an internet that is both safe for children and also that they don't get put in a cesspit on their 16th birthday. I first got internet when I was 13 in and I grew up with a mostly unfiltered internet that exposed me to a lot of messed up stuff like goatse, violent hentai and gore a lot of it posted on Slashdot as well, it really affected my mental health and I still suffer from really bad dreams over 20 years later.

As long as there is not a global consensus, the VPN loophole will still exist, so we need all countries to cooperate in matters like this. If big tech is serious they need to implement the ban worldwide now otherwise they are complicit in ruining peoples lives.

It's very reliable (Working for almost a century at this point) but if you make unexpected disruptive changes like tariffs you are going to have a bad time.

Why do people keep torturing themselves with Windows, it's like they want to eat slop.
