Fedora Kinoite.
KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is "immutable" which means you can't break it.
Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a "just works" I recommend an immutable distro.
You can install KOreader on any kindle these days, FYI.
Sir this is a website
Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.
I disagree, AI slop cannot teach anyone that "hate is real". It cannot teach anything, only persuade.
Even without AI- if you are trying to learn about the world, social media is not a reliable place to get information because it will only show you what the algorithm prioritizes. And the algorithm (even if showing real, non-ai, images and videos) is not trying to paint a cohesive and accurate version of events.
Sometimes I think AI slop does nothing but remind us that social media could never really be trusted to deliver reality in the first place.
You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.
I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.
I love the argument that AI will "fix global warming". We already know how to fix global warming! We've known for decades! Global warming is not some incalculable mystery!
"EEE" doesn't really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.
Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.
