@nprofile…6g30 Problem is, those "real engineering" degrees are hard, man. Like really hard. And you also have to graduate on time not to be too much bigger compared to others, otherwise they'll always pick the younger ones over you.
If you had trouble with algebra in HS, that kinda of algebra in those degrees will make you want to slam your face on desk

You can tell them your phone number was being denied or whatever.
But, even then, how are you even using a bank account if now all of them require mail + phone number + app to access to?

Surely they aren't going to solve the verified boot problem with rust.
Only thing I want from the rust crowd is to go and attempt a rewrite of systemd in rust: hopefully the fallout will be so bad to ruin both systemd fanboys and the rust cult.

No, teaching kids "socializing skill" was not historically an issue, since they used to roam around with their friends after school hours.
Since about the middle 90s there were numerous media-induced public scares, growing reciprocal untrustworthiness among people, and increasing scholarly requirements to reach good grades to access "good jobs"
As a result, kids mostly grow up either as little prisoners in houses behind displays, or being schooled (Even "formative" activities after school hours with adult supervision) for much of the day and being too tired to do anything else afterwards.
End results are dysfunctional adults who don't get anything all those efforts should have warranted for (You'll always meet someone with better grades or simply from a more prestigious school when competing in places where education actually matters, or just inclusive policies leaving you behind).

@nprofile…6g30 I'd wager reddit wasn't doing any mainstream culture in that timeframe, since during that period the Internet got increasingly walled off into enclosures (Discord got big into that timeframe, and it doesn't rely on reddit at all for memery). No mainstream culture, since everything is being walled off into echochambers.
And let's not forget the Boomersphere on Facebook, which makes memes we find cringe, but they get huge exposure among a very large crowd of people unfamiliar with "classic" Internet culture.
No, Reddit was simply increasingly polluted by bots that can only repeat what they've been trained on (Hence the stuck in 2018 part), while owners are presumably milking it anticipating a big selloff, and moderators continue abusing everyone they don't personally like.

@nprofile…vyzu @nprofile…hc9j Many times I think it was those born in the late 60s / early-to-mid 70s (Thus, becoming adults from the second half of the 80s onwards) that actually got to experience first-hand the wonders (Pun intended) of the brave new post-modern world that came up when the wall fell.
The only difference is that later generations got exposure to the Internet from a much younger age, and thus could at least vent about their problems there, and now we got some degree of recordings to establish a point of reference.
But those that were there just before, not even that. Surely it wasn't mainstream media going to talk about how people coming of age from the 90s onwards were increasingly finding it difficult to find stable prospect in life, or a decent life at all, for that matter. You probably know that better than me.

@nprofile…6g30 This was something the very first anons learned when the Eternal September happened in 1992: you either do some gatekeeping, or intruders will come in and shit up your garden.
That brought about the era of internet forums when the www became popular enough. There were indeed many forums for all kinds of topics, and they almost always had an off-topic section. Don't get me wrong: admins could easily be arbitrary, and not all forum communities were good. But it didn't matter, because there were just so many. Banned in one niche thing forum? Jump into this other forum about the very same niche thing. For a while most of the Internet was small interconnected archipelagos of forums.
Then corporates came in, and sucked all potential userbase into large socials. Youngsters don't know any better, oldsters just went there because it was cooler. Forums gradually lost critical mass and went away.

@nprofile…h6f2 Friendly reminder to everyone in the thread that the only reason The Wheel Of Time got butchered this far in was only because it was stuck in development hell for about a decade, with a production company that didn't have the money to actually do the shooting, but still made an unassuming pilot to retain the rights (Check The Wheel Of Time pilot story:
https://winteriscoming.net/2020/08/30/wheel-of-time-tv-adaptation-robert-jordan-why-long-wait/

@nprofile…88ve @nprofile…h6f2 I remember in like 2011 I was watching a "Legend of the Seeker" video (One of those early TV adaptations of somewhat recent fantasy novels, back when the YouTube algorithm was more interesting and random with suggestions), and one particular user was criticizing (Already!) the whole web platform-based adaptation shenanigans in the comments, and "Praying they won't do this one day to The Wheel of Time".
Years later, his previsions were true. Indeed, the writing was on the wall already.

@nprofile…ywxk @nprofile…4jyj But those predatory CEOs are the result of predatory investors that populate most of investment finance.
GabeN could do what he did and focus on long-term growth exactly because Steam never went publicly traded. Had he gone the public offering route, he too would have been forced to chase short term growth, or he would have been booted outside his own company now owned by investors.
It's predatory finance that establishes short term growth managerialism

@nprofile…66ct A multimedia archive is never "easy" to get, given how large filesize wise multimedia typycally are.
Still, you wouldn't need to torrent the entire archive (That's only for seeders), you could just set your client to only download the files you need.
In your hypothetical scenario, there would be a dedicated community which would grab and archive those multimedia each month as they come out, add them to the p2p, and seed them forever. That's how all torrenting communities operate, BTW.
Anyone else could only get what they need, and use the sha txt to verify.
Litterally all torrenting communities work like this. You need, however, a commumity

2025-02-21 21:31:18

- reply

@nprofile…66ct Man, you use a blockchain if you can afford it (Lots of costly hardware)
Otherwise simply this archive would be split into multiple months length files, each coming with a sha256 txt files to ensure it's not compromised. Each month a new archive with a corresponding sha256 txt would be added.
Attempting to compromise the 256 txt files or the archive themselves would require for all seeders to be compromised at the same time. There's 10+ torrent files that are still running, as long as there are seeders
Now, good luck getting an userbase interested in seeding such an archive for decades, but you don't need a blockchain.

2025-02-21 18:55:19

@nprofile…66ct That's easy, a blockchain is built around blocks which hash-verify themselves in a time sequence, a peer-to-peer system is just a distributed storage system with file-based hash verification.
