  8. Tubefilter: Streamers are mogging each other, so Twitch changed its rules to accommodate them. “Like Omegle, Omoggle puts two individuals in a side-by-side video chat. Instead of talking to each other, however, Omoggle users compare their looks. The app scans both participants’ faces to determine which one is closer to the idealized beauty standard that creators like Clavicular aspire to.”

  13. #FunFact: our web presence has a very long tradition by #InternetHistory standards.

    The first version was a subpage on the Austrian Institute for Eastern and Southeastern Europe (OSI) website in 2002: osi.ac.at (now only available on #ArchiveOrg).

    Almost 20 years ago, we created our own domain: ministerratsprotokolle.at/. It is still active today. Of course, the first address these days is mrp.oeaw.ac.at/

  18. For all of you screaming to the rafters about how Substack is a Nazi platform, why aren't you also screaming about Cloudflare? I'm genuinely curious.

    ---

    "Last week I saw a post on Medium where some guy said he’s leaving Substack because Andrew Tate hit the bestseller list and because they host Nazis and he just can’t, anymore. Can’t support a company who profits off hate and abuse.

    I wanted to say dude, you better get off the internet.

    Because more irony. Medium runs on Cloudflare. lol.

    Substack, too. Do a whois search on Substack.com, you’ll see it right in their whois. Nameservers; cloudflare.com. We’re all feeding Cloudflare profits and supporting the companies that prop up everything from the rape academy to AI generated porn and every other abuse whether it’s Amazon, Google, Cloudflare, Grok, or any Ai company."

  20. Ah yes, another existential crisis about the #decline of online meme culture, because *that's* what the world really needs 🤦‍♂️. Someone heard an old song at the grocery store and decided it was time to declare Internet fun officially dead 🚨🔔. Clearly, the only thing being optimized out is original thought 😴.
