Do you guys think fall of West is near? I'm scared... - Lemmy.World

It seriously seems like that fall of West is near! I’m scared because all the good porn comes from West. I mean I am trying to get into Indian porn but it’s very hit-and-miss. Thanks.

I deleted my Youtube watch history several days ago, and have done so again and again and again... since then! - Lemmy.World

I don’t care about recording my data, I am behind literally seven thousand shoe0nheads, but I always used an spare account to watch YT with and I really cared about it and I ‘furnished’ it and — get this, since I understand ML shit a bit, I read state-of-art papers on recommender systems not to design my own recommender system, but to train Youtube’s recommender system to my whim. And then I realized I’m being extremely special-needs and I nuked it all. And I turn it off-and-on as I go. Seriously have you ever met someone who’s obsessed with YT’s recommender system as a watcher? Damn!

Hot off the press: rando tricenarian is fed up with WWW! - Lemmy.World

A nice person who was totally not a sex addict once wrote “Flimsiest of abodes is house of the spider”. Ain’t that right? Lee^1, et al gives this table in [TheWorldWideWeb1994] as a comparison of ‘Network information Projects’: | - | WAIS | Gopher | WWW | | -----| ------ | ----- | ---- | | Original target and application | Text-based IR^2 | Campus-side IR | Collaborative work | | Typical objects | Text | Text, Graphics | Text, Graphics, Hypertext | | Linkage to other servers | No | Yes | Yes | | Registered servers | 137 | 1410 | 829 | So, I really, really do realize that I am not ‘oh so smart’ for figuring this out, and people like Alan Kay and Weitzer have made stark criticism of it architecturally, and countless others have criticized just how stupid it is, but just as a ‘rando tricenarian’ who’d been using it for 21 years, ever since I was 10yo at my gramma’s manor made of adobe (yes, real adobe! not the kind that makes shit software, the brick kind) and two large, tall pines whose needles housed countless sparrows: HOW DOES TWITTER FIT INTO THIS? Let’s not kid ourselves. This shit is crumbling. “A network of networks” means “whoever has the most servers gets to be the owner of the network” — and that is the top, link layer of the model — down, down there we got “a web of webs” and “whoever gets to spin more webs gets to own the webs”. I think this shit is crumbling. I’m all for ‘the web’, I’m all for ‘WWW’, I’m all for small websites, static websites, making information available. But once you add any semblance of ‘dynamism’ in it, it’s not longer web. It’s no longer ‘info’. Wikipedia is not ‘info’. ChatGPT is not ‘info’. These are ‘web applications’, born out of laziness of web developers. Ever since I began learning to ‘code’ (goddamn this term is semantically loaded! That’s why I am adamant to get back to college and get my degree in SWE, because I cannot bear the stigma of being ‘self-taught’ :*( ) at 16, I hated this ‘web’ shit and I always hated ‘webshit’. The one time I accepted a web project, I was duped into it by some chap who was for some reason asking people to upload their PKs! The dude was from a place called ‘Hindustan’ by their natives, had launched way too many startups an he was honedstly, as a person from his keen once said, “As sus as a character from the game Among Us”. Now there’s nothing wrong with be a web developer^3 but please, watch out! This whole ‘network’, this protocol, is crumbling. I am not one to make any forecasts, as I am not educated enough, but see, Lee later took these criticisms to the heart, and came up with the concept of ‘The Semantic Web’ [TheSemanticWeb2001]. SW is just a ‘formalism’ over web. It’s ‘the math kind of web’. It’s the web that holds itself accountable. I think; but in truth, I hope, that Semantic Web would become the norm, and all the software documentation and all the science shit and all the educational stuff gets relegated there. People can eat and drink from Twitters’s trauffe in ‘the shit kind of web’ as they please. As for Lemmy, it’s not bound to web. So who cares. Lemmy is not a ‘website’. That’s why I like it. Thanks. Footnotes 1: Yes, the same Lee who got knighted for…? I don’t really care about Britain and their silly OBE-ship rules but what exactly did he do to deserve knighthood? Was he the one who discovered that God Particle at CERN? I don’t see why anyone would get knighted for something as trivial as WWW! 2: Information Retireval 3: I would marry a web developer though. As long as she is compatible with me.

MOSSAD agents have shot down helicopter carrying the Iranian president - Lemmy.World

It’s been confirmed by the news. PS: The part about MOSSAD is ‘technically’ editorial. But it’s logical.

This reporter cannot simply BELIEVE this country is not a vast desert where Alibaba lives. I mean the '''''''forests''''' we got here may not be as thick and bushy as Europe's, but they are still one! - Lemmy.World

Could bipolar people also be 'on the spectrum'? I had a natural birth (oxygen could have been cut off to my brain during birth?) - Lemmy.World

I’m not the kind of ‘trendy’ bipolar, although my cunt of an aunt believes I have ‘convinced’ myself of that, despite being to the nuthouse twice (50 days total) and several psycho-shinks having diagnosed me with several other mental disorders; the very first nuttyness I got diagnosed with was of course, ADD/ADHD. I was given Ritalin. I still take Ritalin though, 2 kinds of it (36mg extended release and 20mg regular type), So given that I have had a natural birth, the flow of oxygen could have been cut off to my brain. So could I also be ‘on the spectrum’ as they say? I am not a healthy person. I am very obsessive with shit nobody cares about. But that’s the funhouse version of ‘autism’ that media shows. Plus it could be from Ritalin use. How do I know that I am ‘on the spectrum’ without relying much on any external sources? Is it like bipolarity where they give you pills? What does exactly happen when you are known to be an autistic person? Is it even necessary if I get diagnosed? I already know my brain is not right. So what’s the use in getting the double. But honestly I have some obsessions that could signal a bit of on-the-spectrum-y-ness? Like why do I hate Rust and all Rust programmers? I don’t do well socially either. Again I realize these are ‘funhouse’ and ‘stereotypical’ things people say about people on ‘the spctrum’. But I get annoyed even if people use the apostrophe ’ incorrectly! I could just be an obsessive asshole. I am also a druggie but that’s a whole other story. My family is chockful of bipolar people btw, but not many autistic people. My second cousin, son of my first cousin once removed, is autistic. As I understand chief reason for this is your mom and dad being old. Like my first cousin once removed was 40 when she had her son, her husband was in his 40s too. On the other hand, my mom was 21 when she had me, and my dad 26. It’s a known fact that the younger humans are, the healthier you are. I am not trying to troll anybody, this is just a fact. Two things ruins chances of a healthy off-spring, one is consanguineous relations, the other is age. I live in one of those retarded countries where it’s still not proven to people that fucking your cousin is bad actually. My parents were from different cities, different races even. My dad was brown-skinned and green-eyed, my mom is white-skinned and brown-haired. Both are ethnically Persian though. Although my dad’s grandmother was a gypsy, these gypsies are not the ones you find in Romania, these are the gypsies who stayed behind closer to the place of origin. We call them ‘jatts’; and that’s how anthropologists know gypsies come from India (if people close to India call them ‘jatt’, and there’s a group of people in India called ‘jatt’ then, put two and two together I guess! You are smart, your parents weren’t brother and sister, or were they?) Thanks for your help.

Reddit has blocked all my VPS IPs (from all over the world) - Lemmy.World

It tells me I have to register to view posts! It has blocked all my VPS IPs. From random places: - Turkey - India - Germany - That Asian country that is very ‘western’, I have forgotten its name So what’s the reason? Is this because of scraping? Seems random. If the IP is from India, we could say, well, they don’t want scammers. Turkey, not sure. But Germany? I know datacenters have an IP range, and they could ban all IPs from all datacenters. But why? And the issue is, when you register, and post, you suddenly find yourself shadow-banned! I did not even made a bad post or anything. Where do I get a quality IP that Reddit has not blocked?

Iranian president helicopter crash LIVE UPDATE (LINGUISTICALLY CORRECT SOURCE!) - Lemmy.World

My source is this: https://telewebion.com/live/irinn [https://telewebion.com/live/irinn] The other thread was submitted to the wrong ‘sub’ (?). I make it here so mods have no reason to remove my post. Recap: Iranian president’s helicopter has crashed; I personally don’t care about politics but I noticed Western sources: 1- Pronounce Persian names like it’s Arabic, and this really blew a fuse in my brain; 2- Mistranslate lexical and semantic aspects of Persian; 3- Put wrong words between quotes; So this is a live update for those care about LINGUISTICALLY CORRECT news. Note: I don’t care really, and I live in Iran, so most people don’t care, so I think this is a good ‘sub’ (what are Lemmy’s equivalent of subs?). #### Updates Begin ### Update 1: - The Fog that caused the crash is gone, but it’s not nighttime. So this makes the rescue effort still troublesome.
