The Internet is a shithole


in reply to Tio

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.....

Really good documentary! I still think chronically playing video games is bad, but for some people can be a way to cope with problems and/or make friends, have a life...

Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer, died of a degenerative muscular disease at the age of 25. His parents mourned what they thought had been a lonely and isolated life, when they started receiving messages from online friends around the world.

Yeah I think chronic anything is usually bad but in this case I can understand how it must've been liberating for him. Also solidifies the idea that these virtual interactions are still a way to spend time with each other and form friendships, even if it's online there are still people on the other side of the screen.

Guess what! Today marks the 10th anniversary of the first #PeerTube commit! 🥳🎂

It's hard to believe that a project started by a student is now used by so many people and organizations around the world… 🤯

Thank you so much for your support over the years! 🥰

Had a bad day :D

I never expected life in a motorhome to be easy but I'm impressed with how you're managing okay for the most part. And yeah no harm in taking some rest for a few days, you need it. Funny enough I'm also sick now with a cough and all 😅 I hope you recover quickly, and I'm glad you at least have good healthcare in Spain to treat your hernia, wishing you best of luck with your treatment.

Mastodon character limit is such a weird concept and useless and pointless I can't believe is still there. People who want to say more than a paragraph need to split it into "threads"...insane!

Look:

How the fuck you get to read and interact with a post divided into tens of comments.....

This is silly as fuck people.

If you have no character limit, guess what, you can still make short posts. But not vice-versa.

It is beyond me why this is still a thing in 2025. Artificial limitations.

Man I LOVE Friendica! A proper way to make posts and interact with people. And yet not many are aware of Friendica and how awesome it is.

@Meredith Whittaker you should either move to a Mastodon instance without character limitation or try Friendca. You can even use our node social.trom.tf - and that's for anyone else who is bothered by this artificial limitation of Mastodon.

"if an admin can extend the post size limit in Mastodon then that's a cool feature"

I learned it is not a feature to extend post size limit in Mastodon, but a hardcoded value in code, which is very difficult to change depending on deployment method, but possible. They should make this a feature.

And talking about friendica, it looks outdated (the original theme), which does not provide overall confidence, if comparing to new highly extensible, innovative and beautiful bonfire (for example, a flavor of it for scientists: openscience.network/)

Dying of heat in Spain...and fixing the shower tub - videos.trom.tf/w/1DNNLUCRtsbW7…

This video is to show you how Tio was melting in Spain in July/August in a parking lot. It was so hot, easily over 30 degrees inside the motorhome almost every single day. He had 6-7 fans running almost nonstop. He also fixed our terribly looking shower tub and did other things to the motorhome. Enjoy the pain 😃

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory

For trade reasons the Internet has become a marketplace (trade currency, attention, data). Therefore monopolies have formed, owning and controlling search, major platforms, and apps.

On the other had the other marketers want their websites/content to rank higher, to get more views, show more ads, make more money. So shitty websites and content for the sake of that.

Thus the Internet is a load of poop nowadays. Hard to find what you are looking for.

So now these monopolies are inserting these AI chatbots into search. They seem very convenient for people. Go straight to an answer. And the monopolies do not care that these chatbots lie a lot.

Happy business everyone!

Trade is the root of most problems. As I've been saying for many years now.

I read it as "...Internet is a LOOP of poop nowadays." and I stand by it now 🤣 Can't agree more, AI is just an overhyped, desperate attempt of those monopolies to find a point of growth to keep their bussiness going in the neverending for-profit race. Nothing else can be expected from the society that has been built on trade 😔

While AI bubble keeps growing ridiculously high, disturbing news are coming from NASA.. Imagine investing at least a portion of those enourmous money into researching the reality and world we all live in.. into something that actually may help to make our lives better as science did many times already.

Yah there is no purpose in this society other than trading. Ancient practice that has transformed us all into merchants and consumers. Until that is recognized there is no path towards a solution.

Some photos from another amazing cave in Spain: Cuevas del Aguila, just west of Madrid.
This one looks quite unique as the harder iron-rich rock in the cave is of a much darker, redder color than the bright white speleothems made of calcium carbonate. Well worth the 11 euro tour!

Here is our video about it-

By-catch of sharks is a huge problem. Industrial fishing and especially bottom trawling is not only completely destroying seafloor and underwater habitat but also created so many unneeded and useless death of thousands of sea creatures. I don't even understand how it is legal.
In this episode we went to Albania to the "Sharklab" laboratory which conducting numerous studies on sharks, but also work in shark conservation and protection.

TOP 6 Motorhome Parking Places in Spain - videos.trom.tf/w/34TeiZDb7M4sY…

We found so many amazing parking places for motorhomes in Spain, it is insane. Most are providing free water disposal and filling up your tanks, and rarely free electricity.

This is a crazy documentary! I remember when I saw the one about Navalny and this journalist who helped them uncover how Putin poisoned him, and now to see Putin go after this journalist feels surreal.

This documentary kept me so focus from the first minute... A must watch!

TOP 6 Places we visited in Spain with the motorhome! - videos.trom.tf/w/iuFvWGXte95Ne…

We discovered so many amazing nature places in Spain: caves, mountains, lakes, or deserts. We avoid being motorhome-tourists, following the same path as most people with motorhomes do. We avoid big cities and crowded places and often find nature places by simply exploring digital maps to find hidden gems.
