My ideas are on the opposite side of the spectrum.
The internet and software we have today is already a very low quality, there are ads everywhere which create a sensory hellscape for neurodivergents on the spectrum like me.
The only way i can still use the internet is trough an advanced filter. I cannot use youtube anymore and rely on a script to download from channels automatically. Discord used to be ok but is now stuffed with so much nonsense that is constantly pushed in my face i think of leaving it too. I left reddit for the same reason.
Even color codes are being copyrighted. Photoshop requires a subscription to use pantone colors and files that previously used those colors get altered to no longer use them. Its sick. Enshitification is real and increasing.
The best parts of the web are foss, its what makes lemmy superior to reddit.
There is a really simple but admittedly very radical solution to not needing to destroy anyones livelihood. Its called object the notion that people need to “earn a living” no one is alive by choice, everyone is in the same boat trying to survive. It makes no sense that we owe anyone anything for the privilege of a decent life.
Society wont collapse, there will still be people contributing. I know i will. I love my job, i get to help people with my expertise, the worst part is that my health somehow depends on it.
But that description also fits many of the stuff i myself put here.
As a far left anarchist i have to disagree with censorship of “dumb and not funny”, though I also respect the will of a collective (lemmy community) to decide what topics they find acceptable in their space, subjective humor and intelligence isnt a good reasons for exclusion (borders discrimination).
Imagine the joke was funny, would it have been acceptable? Obviously in a community for recovering addicts or one exclusively for pictures flowers it would not, but others?
We must be intolerant of the intolerant and only the intolerant otherwise we risk becoming intolerant ourselves.
Not sure what you’re talking about here. So no i did not hear and feel free to enlighten me about this terminology.
If you where being sarcastic about a Communist King, i did consider that but the people who think russia and china are communist will absolutely misunderstand.
When you are king, communism has failed once more.
Wikipedia: A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately money and the state (or nation state)
I am all for it but people seem to have a really hard time understanding that any kind of ruling class, be it politicians or monarchs is by definition not a communist society.
I am not saying that the people who create digital goods don’t deserve a living. they do, all contribution to society is valid and every human deserves a humane life.
I am just morally against economic commoditization of digital goods on the web using the same currency people use to buy food and healthcare. No amount of fortnite skins and adobe licenses can compare to the value of a single small piece of bread for a starving child.
Stock pictures shouldn’t exist, when i was young uploading a picture online meant it was now free for the taking by anyone and there was absolutely no shortage of those. Now it seems whenever you search for something basic like “transparant vector image of a set of stars” all your top results are watermark and require some amount of money or data. These are the kind of images i can easily make in photoshop myself but i didn’t need to because thousands of others already did.
The diverse, creative sites for humans and by humans which used to fill my “online sources” when making school reports have seized to exist and made way for “by t, for profit” models instead.
I remember my dad harvesting different kinds at the beach and frying them. Healthy, nutritious, tasty, the only reason its not a staple seems to be that it may not be profitable.
I’ve heard that most types of seaweed might lightly aid against radiation damage but thats a good point.
From all the school reports the one that stuck to me the most is microplastics. I wasn’t even doing the report, i cant remember what my own subject was but microplastics are truly one of the most awfull consequences of humankind. Makes me sad just thinking about it.
Fools as i carry with me all of human knowledge, right here in this fragile tiny black slab. I can tell you all once you tell me what your wifi password is.
