You can share passwords without the server seeing them. Many managers don't but there's nothing infeasible there. You just have a password to unlock the manager. Done.

(Which is more or less just regression towards the mean with more steps)

Works fine on browser - seems like a Jerboa issue

"Rosy retrospection" is the phenomenon.

Humans are flawed. We forget how much things suck and remember what was nice about them. That can be good in getting along better with other people - but it sure causes a lot of problems in a modern context.

No - the internet pre-eternal September was not perfect. Objectively speaking it was less useful and less helpful than the modern web. A bunch of old heads got mad that they couldn't keep using the same crusty Monty Python jokes ad nauseam when they had to routinely interact with the general public.

I have family in Taiwan, (and get Taiwanese content constantly) that's not a convincing argument. Thanks.

Everything always has a spin. It's important to be critical.

That's different than being paranoid that the CCP is controlling my mind by showing me a dog waking up it's owner at 3am with a bowl in its mouth followed by a truck saying "Fresh milk inside" and then a stereotypical Los Angeles Latino gangster wearing an It mask and huffing from a red balloon in a storm sewer followed up with a woman in purple talking about Victorian street slang.

You're being influenced by commenters on lemmy you should probably log off you can never be too careful. I'm actually a CIA psyop here to convince you that TikTok is bad by using reverse psychology.

The quality of a meme recommended by a tuned algorithm well exceeds the quality of leekspin on its own, much less in the quantity served.

Don't use this shit for your news or to inform your world view but use it to fuck around and enjoy yourself. That's the point. It's an endless feed of human creativity and the bizarre. Using it for the serious is the worst way to interact with it.

Who cares if it's a human recommending it to me - it's a human making it and I'm here for the creators not the middlemen.

Controversial opinion: the Internet didn't die, you just got left behind.

Gotta keep up. The edge of culture is always moving and trying to stay put is a guarantee that you'll miss out.

The community of memes is more varied and nuanced than leekspin ever was. There's more lowbrow comedy sure but there's more of all types of content.

If you only see shit you hate online it's your fault. Go find places you enjoy (for me that's lemmy, as an example) and teach your algorithm to stop showing you rage bait by not falling for it.

Tiktok has plenty of problems but if you teach the algorithm that the only reason you're there is absurdism and the bizarre: you'll end up with an absurd and bizarre feed.

Damn that's wild reading this from an app

That's less an endorsement of PWAs and more a condemnation of how garbage the native app always was.

I really expected it to say colonial for some reason

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It's not entirely off base about Russia.
