old drum at this point but why do people have to read four legal documents written in 'hear ye, hear ye' speak just because a service had a legal update? sure you can just click agree, but this clickwrap nonsense is just excessive and has infested everything digital. should only be allowed to "update" that stuff once a decade, and only for new customers.

remember when this stuff was all just in readme files?

Count your lucky stars they aren't in latin.

Somehow my loserbook feed has been infested with biker videos, and my god are they fuckwits.

"Here's a panoramic video of me and my mates zig-zagging and whizzing between cars (cagers) at double the speed limit, flipping the bird, devil horns, fist bumps, doing wheelies, and oh my god this car driver didn't see me coming and get out of my way, doesn't he know how important I am? I should smash his mirrors off"

"Heres' a video of me doing 200kph around a bend and when I got round it there was a farm tractor there. HOW DID THEY NOT KNOW TO NOT BE THERE THEY SHOULD KNOW I DO THIS WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE IT"

Slightly enjoying the friction between Harley riders and sports bike riders - it seems there's an ongoing feud over who personally owns the road.
Very hard to say who are the bigger dickheads.

I've blocked what I can, maybe I can get on with my life now.

nothing makes me realise how shit the internet has become/is becoming like facebook.

in my college era, it was literally indispensable to social life. every event, gathering, get-together was organised on there. you practically didn't exist without one.

today it's complete and utter gah-baaahge. just brain rot pummelling the seniors into early dementia.

i don't understand why people like the zuck are respected in those circles. didn't he like pour $300 billion dollars into meta VR stuff, only to create a somehow worse version of second life, that absolutely no one wanted? facebook turned its main product into a slop feed while they tried to pivot to some virtual reality non-starter. bizarre.

Facebook has pivoted to tik-tok addiction. I've had flu for 5 days and its all I have.
We need to myspace all of them.

Still miss friendsreunited, facebook killed that off/they failed to find a business model.

What is interesting is fb etc have allowed people to expose their inner thoughts to the world, many people are fuckwits and anti-social pieces of shit, is this a good thing to know?

i miss old msn messenger where you could sign out of a conversation with that alien that went "breeyah." how on earth did microsoft drop the ball on so many services they dabbled in and just kind of stopped? they could've been the steam and discord. or maybe not, everything they make is doomed to enshittify sooner or later. all that's left from the 00s is a bunch of online 911 angst and subconscious icq noises that will die off when the last zoomer croaks.

my recalcitrance to get into new platforms probably saved me a lot of facebook-related headaches. isn't that website just a mess of report-bots now? aren't they asking for drivers licenses or state ids now? what has social media come to.

zuck's early days of creeping on people made him a billionaire, but didn't bring him out of the uncanny valley. sad.

I'm not even sure what it is now, so flooded with spam.

Pretty sure its a data-harvesting operation for Mossad mostly.
