  • Hahaha. You were missing something. The timeline where that's what we call a PB&J. All plausible.

  • That's the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.

    Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn't decide on one term that I've heard more than the other, so I'll share them all.

    • Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement
    • Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact
    • The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value

    Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.

    ...

    This kind of act isn't as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.

    What do you guys think? Would this greatly decrease your chances of being hacked?

  • I can understand the feeling that it seems so young. But If we take into account that the World Wide Web, a public network, (or in other words, a non-military/government/higher education based network,) started in 1989 and opened up to the public in 1993. As for U.S. American's (and probably other countries as well), the internet infrastructure wasn't wasn't well established and ready to take on 10's of millions of WWW users daily. It wasn't until 1996 in the U.S., where we would have around 3,750,000 internet service users. (Using the population info from here for the rough estimate.) And according to the graph below, it wasn't until about midway through 2001 when the U.S. crossed over the 50% population with internet access.

    So what I'm highlighting here is that, Wikipedia.org going live in 2001 is actually impressive for it's time. And it's old in comparison to a lot of main-stay websites. Also, remember Wikipedia wasn't asking for users to pay a monthly subscription or have to deal with seeing ads on the platform. So server costs even then, were being funded in other ways. All of that to me is seriously impressive.

  • That's because it's not representing the beginning of Lemmy but rather a point in time after.

  • Makes sense. Raptor Jesus was his name after all.

  • That is some weird enshitification right there. Looks down at my 2012 G500 that recently got new mouse click actuators added to it by me. You're doing just fine old friend! (It could use a new mouse wheel kit though.)
