America is dead, play it off Keyboard Cat.
issue is it will collapse into neofeudalism, where the Czar Executive Officier of your network city will demand you work 16 hours every day, or he will send you to the wellness farms working 18 hours a day.
“Play me off, Johnny!”
I don’t know what’s going on here or why that looks like Ron Livingston, but I upvoted it anyways.
Back when the internet was just cat videos it was all upvotes always.
If you haven’t watched Office Space or Band of Brothers, then go do that.
I own and have watched both multiple times. But excellent advice for anyone reading this who hasn’t.
it’s a Reddit link…but that’s how far back it goes
it was the ONLY video Ron Livingston uploaded to YouTube. & that’s Ron Livingston’s head icymi and just hanging out
- fails to elaborate
- never uploads again
/end script
But he did post again! 6 years ago telling people to vote
It’s nice when artists realize they’ve peaked.
It’s definitely Ron Livingston. Why… is not our concern.
You can still watch cat videos, they’re just sandwiched in between hell and sadness to keep you scrolling.
With hundreds of flashing ads along the side-bar.

Tom said he was my friend, but did he offer to help when I was moving to a new apartment?
I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that’d be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.
That would have required self-reflection, self-love, and not falling head-first into the absurdities of an Ayn Rand-ripoff who called himself Mencius Moldbug.
He was one of my top 8 friends! True story.
How do get friends?
This is another reason why income and wealth inequality are bad for us. We have a natural level of psychopathy in the population. Some are bound to stumble into the kind of power given by obscene inequality.
While Tom was tomming, Zuckerberg was zucking.
Before either of them Gates was gatesing. TechCrunch entrepreneurs have always sucked.
Long before anyone had a PCs or servers beefy enough for internet video, we still had tiny gifs. And before that, we all just had our own websites all over the web which you could make entirely your own, for free or for cheap. And it was awesome.
<blink>tags everywhere!Marquisssssssssss
<marquee>
I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and background midi files and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.
Even then I was late to the party. My the time I joined, geocities was part of Yahoo. I remember when the URLs used to be cities and neighbourhoods.
Also, Onchat.com.
Honestly being on here, pixelfed and mastodon kinda is capturing that old internet energy for me. I’m hopefully to see these spaces grow and am going to do my part to keep spreading awareness.
When I first joined Lemmy as part of the semi-great API migration it seemed quite empty, but it does feel like it has slowly grown, unfortunately I’m finding following Trump getting in I can’t scroll without seeing tons of Trump/Musk posts. Doesn’t matter how many things I block it is neverending. I just want to go back to when we were just here to have fun, not constantly be reminded as to what is happening across the pond.
You can filter words in apps like Voyager. Takes a few updates with fridge terms but it quiets things down a lot.
Sticking to communities that you’ve subscribed to also helps.
But right now things in America might actually lead to a Nazi uprising lead by trump and musk. People need to seriously start considering taking precautions if they haven’t already. Get stocked up and spread awareness.
I can hear the music just by seeing the picture.
Same.
Such a good jam.
One of my earliest experiences with the Internet was seeing a picture of a country girl in cowboy boots with a carrot up her ass and an ear of corn stretching her pussy. It was 1991. I also played bridge with people in Asia in the middle of the night.
The internet was actually for porn
Is it me, or is this ironically old meme designed to dismiss whatever the user says?
If MySpace hadn’t gone away, it would just be like Facebook is now anyway.
It would be worse. The site got bought out by News Corp (FOX’s parent company) in 2005.
The site would be some kind of TurningPointUSA / DailyWire right-wing trash factory. Every song on there would be Ben Shapiro rapping or Oliver Anthony releasing the “Rich Men North of Richmond” techno remix.
No shot that’s actually the name of their parent company, it’s way too dystopian movie coated.
Art imitates life
Yea we’d just call it nazispace or something
How could you miss “MeinSpace”?
I love it, but in these wonderful united states where myspace was based, let’s just say bludgeoning people over the head with a direct reference is usually more effective than a more subtle approach.
Plus I would hate to drag all of Germany into our hypothetical corpo-hell by another name, even though MeinSpace is definitely the best sounding option. Even something like HeilSpace might not be direct enough.
People make mistakes, and that’s okay
