A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is the Internet in general, i think... when you compare how many sites i used a decade ago to now, its cvastly fewer. five or so years ago, that would have probably been due to things consolidating... But now it is just because almost everything online is relatively valueless. it is a soulless wasteland with little to offer. Sure, ym digitital usage is enormous, but i engaged somewhat reguarly on internet sites. Now its nothing to me. Hell, I dont even really keep up on Lemmy anymore. Smaller use internet was thrilling. What it is now is pretty much balls. Its paying bills, or checking accts.
There’s much more value outside of the screen than inside the screen. The internet is finally becoming less an escape from reality and more just an extension of reality. This feels very anecdotal, I wonder how much of this perspective just comes with age.
