  • I think that something like the internet archive – where the body of data is too large and important to store in one place – is where using a federated framework similar to Lemmy might make a lot of sense. What’s more, there are many different organisations which have the incentive to archive their own little slice of the internet (but not those of others), and a federated model would help in linking these up into one easily navigable, and inherently crowd-funded, whole.





  • people are not using it to do better. They are instead outsourcing their own thoughts and imagination

    Exactly, technology is eating society instead of society being contientious about its use of tech. I believe that the pendulum will eventually swing back and people will start to ration their use of technology, but until that happens, opting out will remain really hard and I don’t know how to work with that…

    And yes, I agree that much of the ‘progress’ has been solutions to problems people didn’t know they had. (But this is only tangentialy related to my problem.)
















  • I don’t want my refrigerator connected to the internet

    Yep

    Try to buy a tv that isn’t a fucking smart tv, you just fucking can’t anymore.

    This is what I’m on about, resisting is a loser’s game, even if you try it gets too hard :-(

    what’s getting thrown at the wall.

    Ah, well noticed. Yeah I guess a lot of the smart toasters etc is just the industry throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. You just reminded me how quickly 3D TVs disappeared after appearing.

    Our lives do not need to be curated and polished into some technicolor madness.

    Tell that to society 😩

    But yes, we are definitely on the same page.
