reddit is shit and makes me annoyed, twitter is shit and makes me annoyed, tiktok is shit and makes me annoyed, pure news sites are boring, cracked is dead, google doesn’t work anymore, lemmy is only memes and news and fairly slow
i feel like i used to be able to sink into an activity on this machine, but now i just spend 5 minutes somewhere, the algorithm runs out of content, i get annoyed and go somewhere else, same process happens. i feel like i have amnesia, i used to enjoy this but i have no idea how.
Lemmy, YouTube. There’s so many good videos on YouTube that I don’t have time to watch. Searching up how to do something online. There’s always some Linux programs I don’t know to use. Currently I am also watching The Computer Chronicles on archive.org. There’s also some sort of hidden parts of online you may not be realizing are there, though I haven’t spent basically any time there yet. For example Gopherspace. Gopher is an old protocol that used to compete with HTTP. It still has some people using it, just for fun. Of course, you won’t just find those gopher holes as the protocol isn’t supported by modern browsers. You can use Lynx.
You can use Veronica 2 search engine here: gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/
