For over a decade, #Samsung referred to storage space on their products as "ROM".

Not only did they get away with it, much of the world considered them a leading authority in technology, and followed suit; paying Samsung billions of dollars along the way. While Samsung recently dropped the practice, the damage was already done.

Wikipedia’s human traffic is down 8% as AI tools like Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT use its content without sending users back. Younger audiences now favor TikTok and YouTube for information, threatening Wikipedia’s volunteer model and funding. The world’s biggest free encyclopedia is becoming invisible in the AI age it helped create.

Malaysian tech insanity:
- Nothing exists other than Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe CS costs expensive annual fees
- Everyone runs pirated software

This is how I'm constantly ridiculed, discriminated, and yes, lost jobs, for refusing #piracy in #Malaysia

This is the country that now takes pride in being the dumping ground for the world's cheap data centers.

"I've never heard of anything other than #Microsoft and #Adobe therefore NO ONE is allowed to even talk about anything else!"

Making and posting GIFs in the 21st century is like buying a Mercedes, spending money and effort to tear it apart, then drag its carcass by mule on public roads, and acting like you're on the leading edge of transportation.

But shitty #AI is exactly what people want; some abstract oracle that you can outsource all thinking and responsibility to. Consequences be damned.

I don't know how else to explain to people that replacing critical business functions with a coin-op fortune teller is not a good idea.

90% of everything I've seen on #Shopee consists of illiterate, nonsensical, and outrageous lies. But that doesn't stop people from buying trash by the millions anyway.

How the fuck is it so hard for people to understand that instant #messenger apps ARE NOT DOCUMENT/ FILESHARING SYSTEMS?!?!?!

Welcome to the #posttruth era; where everything is "just an opinion", and the very concept of official/authoritative information is elitist and offensive.

#Reddit is heavily censored, with no transparent policy, notice, record, or due process.

Especially since the Great Exodus, it would be a grave mistake to assume any discussion there is representative of any real consensus.

I fear we live in a world where people who believe #chiropractic is a legitimate medical practice, constitute the majority consensus.

Business executives/owners driven by emotion and #socialmedia will pivot their business to cater to a handful of trolls and attention seekers, ignoring the vast majority of their existing market of hither-to happy customers.

We now live in a world where people make decisions involving millions of dollars/lives, and all their information of the world comes from #socialmedia and #advertising

20 years ago, everyone was told lo learn computer skills/literacy in order to stay on top of an increasingly computerized world.

Today, the mere suggestion that you need basic skills/knowledge to use a computer is considered a vicious insult.

“If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what’s true from what’s false, then by definition the marketplace of ideas doesn’t work. And by definition our democracy doesn’t work. We are entering into an epistemological crisis.”

As if "there must be video or it doesn't exist" isn't bad enough, now I'm seeing people who expect static knowledge to exist in the form of live streaming/chat, because clicking on existing content is just too much.
