This commercial jam[0] is made with exactly the same ingredients as would be used to make home-made jam. It is Nova Group 4.

The problem with the group 4 definition is it is a mix of things that are genuinely harmful, things that are completely irrelevant to the health of a given food item, and broad, vague definitions that could be used to describe almost any prepared food item as “ultra-processed” if one were so inclined.

A nice perk of 3g going away is that you can buy new-ish cars that won’t be able to connect to the cellular network anyhow. Toyota for example didn’t update some of their models to 4g until 2019.
Yeah I’ve been on the wrong side of their software quality before. It’s too bad. The electronics are top notch, as always.

PlayStation has the religion, but the rest of their consumer stuff doesn’t.
They aren’t nearly as safe as they could be, and manufacturers have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to implement even basic safety features like seatbelts: some manufacturers even refused on the basis that adding safety features implied their products were unsafe!

Airplanes are probably the example you want - heavily regulated and very focused on safety. Not motor vehicles. After all, if they really were focused on safety, they’d have banned giant trucks and SUVs for personal use a long, long time ago.

> From the moment I discovered the Internet at a young age, it has been a magical place to me. Growing up in a small town, relatively isolated from the larger world, it was a revelation how much more there was to discover – how many interesting people and ideas the world had to offer.

This was a not-unusual story for people active online in the '80s.

I wonder how the world-expanding has changed, now that everyone's online. I feel like I only have a partial and rough high-level understanding.

Nowadays, for example, every gay kid in every small town knows they're not alone, which is a great advance for humanity.

But everyone is also being bombarded, conditioned, tracked, manipulated, and exploited pervasively online.

What things can we contemporary techbros do, to keep all the goodness of making online accessible to everyone, but remove much of the current badness?

(I mean, after we spend 5 minutes removing various kinds of third-party trackers from sites we control, what's the next thing we can do?)

A lot of monumentally good things have come from the last ~20 years of technological change, but the Internet breaking out into something mediocre people could exploit has done damage. And that’s a range that encompasses everything from minimally qualified marketing consultants to people drifting by on MBAs to (sorry) serial entrepreneurs who focus more on the launch than the idea.

I think this is similar to mistaken belief like there is link between "bipolar disorder and artistic ability".Kay Redfield Jamison proposes such a thesis. There is substantial number of artists who don't have bipolar as well large number of bipolar people who don't have artistic ability
This is a common sentiment echoed regarding many different topics across the human experience, so I want to, for the sake of discussion, try and articulate exactly what are the two sides of this scale that might be worth debating. David Putnam defined "intra-" and "intercohort" like this in Bowling Alone.

> Because generational change will be an important theme in our story, we should pause briefly here to consider how social change and generational change are interrelated. As a matter of simple accounting, any social change—from the rise of rap music to the decline of newspapers—is always produced by some combination of two very different processes. The first is for many individuals to change their tastes and habits in a single direction simultaneously. This sort of social change can occur quickly and be reversed just as quickly. If large numbers of Americans, young and old, fall in love with sport utility vehicles, as they did in the 1990s, the automotive marketplace can be quickly transformed, and it can be transformed in a different direction just as quickly. Sociologists sometimes call this type of change “intracohort,” because the change is detectable within each age cohort.

> The second sort of social change is slower, more subtle, and harder to reverse. If different generations have different tastes or habits, the social physiology of birth and death will eventually transform society, even if no individual ever changes. Much of the change in sexual mores over the last several decades has been of this sort. Relatively few adults changed their views about morality, and most of those who did actually became more conservative. In the aggregate, however, American attitudes toward premarital sex, for example, have been radically liberalized over the last several decades, because a generation with stricter beliefs was gradually replaced by a later generation with more relaxed norms. Sociologists call this type of change “intercohort,” because the change is detectable only across different age groups. Precisely because the rhythm of generational change is slower paced, it is more nearly inexorable.

I almost want to say that you're arguing internet disappointment (perhaps "perceived enshittification") is a predictable, generational intracohort phenomenon that applies to _all_ familiar aspects of one's life and not, conversely, an intercohort phenomenon through which generational attitudes remain constant, and the world changes around us.

On second thought, I don't think this is the right dichotomy to codify the common sentiment you've expressed. If somebody more learned happens by, please assist.

Edit: I think the term I am looking for is "Age-period-cohort analysis (APC analysis)," which I know nothing about.
> It seems the real reason this lawsuit found traction while similar ones against much larger platforms is precisely because Omegle sounds like a fairly shoestring operation. Platforms with an army of lawyers can surely fend lawsuits like this off without batting an eye.

Platforms with an army of lawyers would never greenlight Omegle's basic behavior, to start with.
The ACLU speaks up for the rights of murderers and rapists that we don't like, because we don't want the system to be able to abrogate the rights of politically inconvenient people that the powers that be don't like. Like Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning. The ACLU and the EFF aren't about optics, but the underlying rule of law. We are better than a mob with pitchforks, even when we really don't like the perpetrator.
Back then you could post to Craigslist for an anonymous hookup and play poker online for money.

Amazing. This post is 1 hour old and Wikipedia is already updated:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omegle

"Omegle (/oʊˈmɛɡəl/[1]) was a free online chat website that allowed users to socialize with others without the need to register. The service randomly paired users in one-on-one chat sessions where they would chat anonymously using the names "You" and "Stranger". It operated from 2009 to 2023."

...

"On November 8, 2023, K-Brooks posted an announcement describing the challenges of running the site, and the ultimate decision to suspend the service. Challenges listed was online exploitation of children and attacks on communication services. K-Brooks concluded that his decision revolved around internet misuse and asked users to consider donating to the Electronic Frontier Foundation to combat misuse."

Yeah I've been reading these 'conduit in walls' posts for two decades+ now. My cables go through the attic and drop straight down. I could literally grab most of them with my hands through the holes. It seems like theres very little to gain.

> there's something to be said of an overall trend toward more consumption, less production

I think this couldn't be further from the truth. You could argue that the production has been heavily centralized, but I think today more than ever we see kids in their early teens making videos on YouTube/TikTok, etc. It's different from other people's childhoods where you'd make geocities website or customize your myspace page or write blogs but it's still production nonetheless.

Bezos is trying that playbook. But my bet is that we will see Zucks true legacy unfold right now and he won't be lionized in at all the same way. He doesn't seem so different from SBF in that he justified any action to get his way, from the beginning when he started Facebook to rank and spy on women.

You'd want to direct that to whoever was claiming some laws better than others.

It's moot when the inter state borders are leaky - the genius of Australia wasn't that guns were banned (they weren't) but that national gun laws were unified across all states so that all sales are registered and all buyers are vetted for criminal | domestic violence backgrounds.

Seems to me there is an obvious qualitative difference between a company that manufacturers cars or kitchen knives and a company that creates a service that uses random matchmaking to repeatedly introduce a serial pedophile to unsuspecting underage victims.

Sure, people _can_ abuse any service, this seems like a service that wasn’t just ripe for abuse, it was essentially perfectly designed to enable it. Moreover in this case there absolutely appears to be numerous feasible ways to have headed off that particular avenue of abuse.

This is the same ludicrously weak argument that is constantly and erroneously applied to guns… neither a car nor a kitchen knife are primarily (much less exclusively) instruments of harm, guns are. Well, turns out, so are random matchmaking services that link adult users with children and let them view each other, and that appears kind of obvious in hindsight.
We do not sort our society on SAT scores.
This is true. Maybe I should have said "also placing blame on the service as well as the abuser"

Practically speaking, the bigger issue is going to be that you don't have wires going to where you want them. Cat 5e supports gigabit speed and was became the standard in 2001. Practically speaking, many cat5 cables from before than happen to work well enough to be used as if they were cat5e (particularly if you don't push the distance), which pushes the date back to 1995.

A lot of equipment you can buy today still only goes up to 100Mb/s, and a lot of houses still don't get even that from their ISPs.

Even if you have a gigabit connection, most of the time the computer at the other end isn't going to be sending you data at gigabit speed.

You might want gigabit speed to support multiple devices. But most houses don't have that many devices consuming high bandwidth at once, and when they do, you can feed them with multiple wires and/or access points.

All of this is to say, for almost every house, the standard cable from 1995 is still perfectly adequate. Cat5e will probably still be fine, by the time you sell your house.
In the US, they serve to shift blame from distracted drivers for running someone over sadly (crappy j-walking laws) in addition to the normal use.

Failure comes from the fact that the people don't give a flying fruit about some random tokens.

You can't pay the rent or utilities with them, you can't pay with them at the store or anywhere else.

Meaning unless you can convert your random tokens - that are not accepted almost anywhere in the real world - to good old USD/fiat, you virtually have nothing.

That's the failure, smart contracts do not ensure you get real USD dollars out off the system, the ones normal people accept as legal tender.

> So car manufacturers need to stop making cars because someone might drive drunk?

In the US, at least, bars can be found liable for patrons drunk driving. That's probably a closer analogy to Omegle than a car manufacturer, since its patrons hang out at the "establishment," engaging in potentially risky behavior. That's not a comment on the validity of the lawsuit, but the situation isn't as simple as you make out.

I think TikTok is a substantial aberration on this trigger trend. It’s been great (as a non-user) seeing legitimately funny and creative stuff coming from that platform.

Stealing equipment (and selling it) to get drunk is not knowingly sabotaging your countries war effort.

It’s theft. In the military. To get drunk.

It’s far too short sighted and self serving to intentionally help the enemy, it’s just plain criminality. Not treason. Likely to still get one shot or sent to the Gulag of course. But no one sane is writing ‘treason’ on any of the paperwork.

Or is it treason if a woman refuses to have a child because she is ‘sabotaging the future war effort’? Or a car thief who steals a truck, because that truck ‘could be used to transport supplies’?

And where did this ‘intentional friendly fire’ come from?

This is devastating. I have so many fond memories of meeting fellow weirdos over text. The days where StumbleUpon always took you somewhere exciting, cool, beautiful, interesting, funny, or novel. Where you looked at what people did with The Web 2.0 and only marveled at the possibilities of what could come. Truly feels like the death of one of the old guard, a Usenet-of-the-2010s.

I even used it during pandemic times as a way to dance with strangers over video; putting on ridiculous outfits and playing disco were some of the moments from those dark times that I still cherish.

RIP Omegle! You will be missed, by me and many others.
