I’m not OP and no, TikTok is absolutely a no-go for me. I couldn’t care less about trends tbh.
I don’t think giving up completely is the goal, it’s just a temporary measure. When you’re used to spending two hours a day on YouTube, you can’t just watch a video because then you’ll just watch another and another and another for two hours
I’m trying to use this whole reddit madness to quit using the internet for anything that isn’t intentional. The fact that I’m here writing a comment shows that it’s not going perfectly, but so far reducing the time I spend scrolling or watching YouTube has definitely improved my headspace.
The simple act of not using my phone or any other screen until I get out of home in the morning makes me so much more energetic and my mind more clear.
It’s a fucking addiction and most of us have it without realizing. The horrible part is that quitting cuts you out of so much stuff, but it really is worth it.
I don’t quite get how a “collective art piece” could get “hijacked”. If it can be hijacked than it’s only collective and collaborative for the ones that Reddit likes.
Of course this is the only way they could present it, but as far as I’m concerned the cool thing about r/place, in principle, is that you can see the chaos of the world, with opposite views, opinions, goals, tastes, interests sharing the same space, the same place, and interacting with each other.
I’d much rather see swastikas alongside sickles and hammers, stickmen being murdered alongside unicorns, dirty jokes alongside the Mona Lisa, than this corporate PR stunt.
I think it also shows that the protests have been somehow successful. Sure, Reddit won’t fail, but if they decided to do another r/Place it’s only because they know how loved it is by the community and hope to make people forget about the disaster.
Yup! If I’m driving and want to change station or volume I need to be able to know what I’m doing without watching, and it already feels distracting and dangerous enough to me. With a touch screen I can’t feel the buttons or knobs and I must look at the screen to do anything.
I never had a car with a touchscreen (my current car doesn’t even have an AUX or USB port) so I don’t know if it’s already like this, but probably an hybrid between the two would be ideal. You get a touchscreen to thinker with it and create presets or whatever when you’re not moving, and buttons to change song/station/preset/volume/whatever when driving
AI powered brain-chips is a concept that terrifies me but also fascinates me because it would avoid this kind of useless bullshit.
Imagine having a very advanced AI in your brain that knows you really well (because well, it’s in your brain). You could have concepts and information explained in the most effective way for you, or (and this really is scary) directly written in your brain so that you suddenly just know something. Your colleagues would just have to think the information that you need to receive, and then their chip and your chip would communicate so that the message gets “translated” to your own “thought language”.
I think that’s the future we will face if we don’t wipe ourselves out of existence first. The “cool” thing is it would be an actual evolutionary leap that would make us something we can’t really grasp at the moment.
The scary thing is it would of course be a shit sold by corporations to transmit ads directly to your brain or some shit
