I see it just as extension to “cancel culture” in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.
It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.
Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don’t know what’s happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.
I don’t see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.
Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.
It is still young and underdeveloped.
It is advertised to be simpler, but I don’t understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don’t care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.
Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.
Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing “I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works” I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).
First ever, I think was
First on personal computer was probably “Football Manager” on C64: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3zs7PB-QQ
Firts on x86 was “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego” https://youtube.com/watch?v=EGoFwc_EgZM in school.
But first ever was probably some arcade, I would love to know which one was first contact. Never even though of it. Tetris, or Operation wolf, or Donky Kong.
This things are also some of first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PNZ6DUEzzeA and https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0HovHcgM1g
Woow… you time traveled me far in the past. But I don’t know which one was first :(.
The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.
It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.
Part of those EV are lithium mines being pushed on developing nations.
People in Serbia are protesting for the last two years over very poisonous lithim mining project planned in the green, healthy and fertile land.
While they claim “biggest lithium mine in Europe” and “supplying 90% of EU needs”, they forget to say “current needs” and that it will have lithium for maybe 1 milion cars per year. EU has 250 million cars. In 10 years 10 million cars which will all need new battery.
So they want to destroy beautiful nature, to poison huge part of agricultural land, for 10 million EVs. That will, in bast possibile scenario reduce CO2 by 0.5%. Cars are 20% of CO2 emissions in EU. EV have, at best, 50% less CO2 emissions in 10 years of use. So 50% of 10/250 part of 20%… that’s miserable.
Serbia gets 3% of lithium sales (that would be equally miserable few millions per year). That’s not even enough for dealing with accidents that might happen with thousand of tons of sulfuric acid needed for mine.
Serbia is not part of EU and does not have money to buy EVs, nor has clean energy capacity to make good use of those EVs.

And images and articles about it:
It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.
I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don’t understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don’t manage.
In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.
Android is complete shit show.
It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn’t care about security.
I don’t have solution for videos, but I am moving back to podcasts and rss as much as possible. I want to be ready when they finally forbbid watching without ads.
But I must admit content creators are not helping, content for most of them become just job to be done with. I am aware it is not their fault and that yt is pushing them, but content is geting worse.
It is hard to compete with platform that is loosing so much money. They will also buy anyone who tries. Maybe if we start being satisfied with one resolution and quality, but that will never happen.
