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!
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
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!
Funny thing is, my doctors put my bipolarity front and center. I had to beg them to give me Ritalin. I know I had some sort of ADHD because my father was a Ritalin addict, took it intravenously ( he was a dentist so somehow he could prescribe himself Ritalin. The only reason I can get 2 kinds of Ritalin is, my father used to prescribe it in my prescription pad. This was way before digital prescriptions. They rolled that, and now people like my dad are desperate. My dad himself is six feet under, turns out, you can inject yourself 90 tablets of prime Ritty so much before your body gives up) and so there was a lot of Ritty around at our home, so I sometimes took it and I always felt better. Problem is, I never had any issues sitting down and reading a book, I never had any issues ‘paying attention’ either. But I cannot see anything through. I jump from one thing to another. So that’s why they gave me Ritalin.
I have a lot of problems greeting people, my great aunt used to mimic my way of saying hi. I would say it in a very, very low tone (English is not my first language, I mean the equivalent). And as for saying goodbye, I despise it. People are telling me ‘Yeah I see you around, remain in touch’ etc etc, shit people say at the end of a ‘social unit’ and all I can say is ‘goodbye’.
That was when I went outside though. I have not went outside for months – well this morning I went out to buy cigarettes and that was my first outage in several months.
I have other problems, not gonna lie. I wanna know if they give you pills for autism. Because I want more pills.
I have 2 psychiatrists — problem is I don’t know if I should because at 31, would it really matter? Especially when I have an onset condition diagnosed?
What change would it make? I heard you have to pass a ‘test’ to be diagnosed, which kinda sounds like those ‘ICJT’ tests, you know those fake tests where they assign you 4 letters? My brother was a psychology major (the kind without pills, not the medical kind) — he died of COVID just shy of getting his bachelors. He told me these ICJT and tests like that are scams.
Now I’m not saying autism is a ‘scam’, because it is not, I’m saying this ‘test’ sounds like one. At least, and espciallly when a 31 yo shows up and says ‘test me for autism’.
It may sound like ‘badge-seeking’ behavior to the mental health expert. If i were a totally healthy dude, who does not take Lithium, Depakote, Respridone and Ritalin, he could dismiss me as an attention-seeker. Now with this disease added, he could just tell me I am looking for trouble.
Do you guys take pills like I do? What is usually done to treat autism — at least. the kind of autism on the ‘functioning’ end of spectrum?
I wanna know if someone has ever been in my shoes. Diagnosed with bipolarity or ADHD, but late in their life, wanted to know if they are on the spectrum.
They don’t need to block IPs to stop spammers. Many people don’t know this, and in fact, I did not know this until I got all my users banned and I had to make a new user: Early posts of all users are hidden. Like ALL users. Unless you post with a high-quality IP, not necessarily residential, just a high-quality IP.
I have taken to buying, yes, buying users. I did that 2 times, don’t do it anymore because Reddit’s not worth 8 bucks.
These users usually have one post that’s gotten a lot of updoots. Man, Reddit chuds are so predictable with their updooting, people make money from it!
They are also older, like 2 months. I needed to post on r/forhire, so I bought those users.
I think if someone needs to scrape, spam etc, he could just buy a user. They go as cheap as $3 afaik.
I think you meant blacklisting, but yeah. This is the scummy thing 4chan does. I remember ages ago, people told moot to block datacenter IPs. This was at the height of ‘Surgeon Spamming’. I am not going to tell you what Surgeon Spamming is, just know that, I downloaded one of those files. And I deleted it. It’s not ‘illegal’ here, selling ‘all’ kinds of it is illegal but owning ‘all’ kinds of it is not an issue. But some of ‘it’ is just inhumane. It caused me mental scarring. Fuck moot for making this website. Anyways, moot did not block datacenter IPs, and instead added reCaptcha. About 4-5 years later, he himself blocked all datacenter IPs on top of captcha. I cannot post on 4chan without shelling 20 bucks, and it’s not a privilege that deserves more than a peanut butter sandwch covered in cum. These two websites block datacenter IPs for nothing but profit-seeking. Honestly, don’t google Surgeon Spam in archives. Some of those links, believe it or not, works.
