This is a good point worth considering, especially given we've already seen the consequences of people and businesses going cashless and a technical glitch throwing everything into disarray. Back in 2018, Visa's network crashed:

I think it's more distance and lack of consequences that causes toxic behaviour. People will be nicer to their friends, relatives and coworkers online than strangers, since hurting or alienating said people will have actual effects on

Having friends/a good network is a lot more important than academic success. Both for personal fulfilment and for getting a job in future. Also that becoming a YouTube/Twitch creator is easiest when in university/before you h

I think Twitter/X charging money might be what kills it off. If you need to pay to post/view anything, then about 95% of the population will say "sod this, I'm out of here". I'll be very surprised if Musk actua

Same here. The algorithm seems to be really bad at recommending relevant content on the 'for you' style timeline, and barely seems to take my likes and follows into account at all...

Given that Threads seems to suppress posts linking to other websites, and the audience there isn't particularly interested in news, I'm not surprised the BBC has given up on it. The fact the algorithm recommends you everything but

Honestly, good. Google is a company that has gotten away with monopolising various markets for way too long, and its ownership of things like Doubleclick, YouTube and Gmail probbly shouldn't have been allowed at all due to how much pow

Short videos work best when you want to show something that doesn't really need a lot of explanation, or justify a full length video. For instance, in the gaming world, a random glitch you encountered that sends your character falling

Funny enough, creators can't upload custom thumbnails on YouTube Shorts, at least not without a lot of trickery. So if you dislike thumbnails that much, Shorts would probably appeal more than normal videos.

As someone who posts content on YouTube, I definitely agree Shorts have caused issues on the platform. They're the most promoted type of content hence they're super tempting for creators, yet if you end up making them it can kill

It seems to be viable enough for them to run a successful business with. So in that sense it's viable. But I suspect it'll always be a niche product, since most people don't see search engines as something worth paying for, e

Martinet is indeed the exception here, and one of the most well known voice actors ever. But there are plenty of other examples where my post holds true. The ghosts from Luigi's Mansion 3 are voiced by Next Level Games development and

Not sure how well this will work compared to their strike against Hollywood and the film industry. Many video game developers don't work with union actors at all, with plenty of games either not having voice acting period or hiring wha

For the most part I left Reddit. Sure, I occasionally view certain subs as a guest (maybe once a week for stuff like web development and tech), but I haven't used my account in months and I don't check posts on most subreddits any

Hard to say. My experience is that I tend to get more engagement (and more of a discussion) about topics I post on Mastodon, but Twitter/X has more people to follow/content being posted. So if you want to chat about tech related t

Nah that's more like Threads now. Though that's quietened down enough that the 'this is so much nicer/better than Twitter' talk has at least calmed down a tad.

I forgot that Ford and IBM were 100+ years old. Huh, guess I can bring the list of companies I use that were around 100 years or more up to about 5 or 6 now. And yeah things were very different back then, and will be in future too. I don&#x
