In the early days of the internet sometimes I let my naughty curiosity have some fun and I remember searching for rare animal encounters like a lion and a tiger, or whatever....was curious how these 2 predators react.

Do that now and you get loads of channels like this youtube.com/@Buzzbible/videos

Fake AI shit...and they are getting better and better. And they get so many thousands of views, if not millions. And they even make money out of it.

Yah, how can I not want to give up the internet game?! It is getting shittier and shittier.

The incentive is the issue, not the technology. When you have millions of humans who are poor, but also taught that making money and consuming is important, then they do their best to make money.

No regulation or law will work.

The solution? Maybe get people out of poverty, give everyone their basic needs at least so we dont have hungry hyenas everywhere trying to hunt everyone. This is a discussion that is lacking among those who complain about the state of the internet...

I've observed this very same thing (the videos are getting better you're right) with movie trailers.


The Internet is a shithole

Yeah this whole situation is very relatable, I always try to find new ways to block ads and get rid of these BS as much as possible. But now I feel like soon I'll also have to fight my own devices and OS just to install the apps I want to, now that Google is planning to drop support for 3rd party app stores like f-droid - this shit is honestly insane and I'm sure will kill many adblockers and 3rd party YouTube apps which block ads, along with a bunch of good FOSS projects.....

I use Brave (sue me), but also Youtube Enhancer, which gives back a lot of control, uBlock Origin, and a nifty Youtube extension called 'Remove Youtube Suggestions'. Apart from the odd lockup, I never see anything except the videos I choose any more.
It's making me think I should pay for an account, but $11 is too much. $3 maybe.


When I decided to get Starlink for our motorhome it was around 57 Euros a month for unlimited. By the time we got Starlink it jumped to 72. Then they added some "spanish taxes" and went up to 82. Now I got an email saying they just made it 89. All of these happened in the past few months.

WTF.

But so predictable unfortunately...

It sucks because there is no reliable unlimited internet solution cross-EU. I have paused Starlink for this month and I need to seriously consider what we will do. 90 Euros a month for the internet is crazy.

They really trap you because you buy the dish for a lot of money and that dish can ONLY be used with Starlink. Not that there is any other option for satellite internet. So now if you give up on the subscription, you are left with a fucking 400 Euros dish that is basically ewaste.

Thank you Elhon for being such an "innovator".

90 Euros a month for internet is indeed crazy, I don't know what the solution is since you travel around in a motorhome.... Maybe try to get in touch with other people who are in the same situation as you to see how they handle it?
in reply to Rokosun

I did and there is no good solution really....they use SIM cards and change them when going to different countries. And in order to have a good signal they buy antennas for them that cost hundreds of euros too....


We now have a Wishlist for our TROMhome project because we are broke and if anyone wants to help they can directly do so. Here tromhome.com/#wishlist

For example we need to put a satellite dish (a Starlink Mini) so that I can keep our servers updated, do backups, upload our TROMjaro ISOs from the middle of nowhere, and in general be available online to help with the TROM projects. We need it specifically for my work on TROM.

So if anyone can help we have a GoFundMe for it gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-s… (450 Euros). I hate that they are putting satellites into the orbit, but we have no better option in Europe. The monthly fee of 72 Euros is also gigantic for us, but again I need an unlimited Internet access...

If anyone can help that'd be fantastic. If not is ok we will buy it eventually.

Thank you in advance! :)

The real question is will the adults accept this verification process? This just sounds like a privacy nightmare! 😐

IMO the biggest issue with porn is that it's so fake and unrealistic, and that's not in itself a problem but it becomes one if the person watching thinks it's real. I've heard somewhere that watching porn and thinking it's real sex is like is like watching martial arts on TV and thinking that's how a real fight looks like, lol 😂 Maybe the real solution here is proper sex education, something to think about..... 🤔
