It's actually quite bad and a lot of people are just in denial about it
I'm not going to lie Bsky liberals at times seem genuinely to be more Islamophobic and anti-Arab than on Twitter

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Very fun to pop back on here to try to give it an honest chance and find out apparently dozens of fetish porn accounts followed me in the near year since I last logged in? Not very impressed so far, lmao

This is an amazing movie, incredibly prescient, absolutely the best Bigelow movie imo
It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better
Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

I loved reading the first wave of reviews for DEAD RECKONING, but disappointed I haven't (so far) seen anyone meaningfully ..reckon.. with the switch to digital cameras giving this M:I a very different almost Late-Michael Mann video feel that often heightens, and distorts, the reality it presents.
