@nemothorx So true story: I first discovered #Enlightenment around 1997, and I remember going on IRC and downloading it to compile on my DEC Multia. The FTP site was like ftp.slashdot.org, and someone in the IRC channel kept saying "Ugh, #SlashDot sucks." I was baffled, because it seemed a perfectly fine FTP host to me!
I find #SlashDot to be a very #meh website. Every time I end up there, they remind me they require me to enable #JavaScript
#ThankGoodness they’re kind enough to remind me why I don’t share anything from them
I get my info elsewhere, & share that which will give the information we need without the invasion of #privacy or #security that comes with JS
Websites tell us so much info- including whether or not we need them
Thanks, SlashDot. Your #irrelevance is of your own making :gnomeHey:

I've been reading Slashdot again for the first time in over a decade.
Got to say, disappointed in the subculture there.
A lot of aging tech bros arrested at the bro level of emotional development. Worse, all they have to say are the same old sophomoric opinions you can guess, and the same dumb jokes. Worst of all, they are very impressed with themselves and they don't realize how lame they come across.
Sadly, they often don't even know what they are talking about, their point of pride.

Slashdot.org had an article about a beef industry study showing that red algae only reduces bovine methane emissions by 28%.
I commented that a guaranteed way to reduce bovine methane emissions is to eat less meat.
My comment got labeled "Flambait".

Kind of appropriate - "global warming".

'blood'? I guess I'm missing some context.
I think that context is what's interesting about Reddit and other squishy not-quite-a-bbs social media. But scale gets in the way there; too many people all commenting and fighting for likes turns it into #Slashdot.
Microblog social media is more like having a discussion in a loud bar, where the conversational threads keep diverging and you can't quite remember what you were talking about two minutes ago.
i swear #slashdot is the original #hackernews

Why Are So Many People Watching TV With Subtitles?
"For some, the problem is the design of modern televisions; the majority of which place internal speakers at the bottom of the set instead of facing towards the audience, causing significantly worse audio quality. Other issues are caused by sound designs optimized for theatrical experiences, which can result in compressed audio when translated to home."

Having checked Slashdot.org recently for the first time in over a decade, I thought "I wonder if Bluesnews is still a thing."
Yep. Wow. From 1996 to now, still trucking. Pretty good for a website.
Anyone else remember .plan updates/finger? ah, the good ol days.

I discovered my #Slashdot account works, so here’s a link to the first (and only?) comment I ever posted, back on 1 Feb 2005.
I guess this comment is still kinda evergreen.

@shoq I agree with @carlrj’s summary of Slashdot’s model for level clipping distributed curation — as well as Slashdot distributed moderation discussed in the 🧵
I’m also puzzled by why no one seems to build on Slashdot experience for distributed curation, moderation, and karma. It seems to cover the bases with a troll resistant model that’s scalable.
A Slashdot discussion of articles that ask "why is Meta slashing prices on its VR headsets?"
🌐 https://tech.slashdot.org/story/23/03/05/2044254/why-is-meta-slashing-prices-on-its-vr-headsets
▪️ My response is simple: I do not trust Meta.
I already have an Oculus device that will never be connected to the internet again due to mismanagement by Meta. I find their long history of treating the public poorly to be completely unacceptable. My VR device will be used off-line to the extent that it is possible.
It's a shame because VR does have some promising capabilities.
⭐ But until an affordable platform-agnostic VR device becomes available I will not spend my time or money on this technology.
▪️ The question I am curious about is:
Why would *anybody* trust Meta to do what they promise to do?
#Meta #Facebook #VR #Consumer #Privacy #Games #Technology #Slashdot
I think about this a lot, as my own #online record grows ever longer.
The #internet is full of ghosts of myself, and friends—some still in my life, most not, an alarming number who can never be again—caught at points of our lives when we were utterly different people. Hell, sometimes spambots still comment on my #LiveJournal posts, and I have to go see what they said, which brings the memories flooding back. Decades of #Usenet and #Slashdot floating around in the ether.
And yeah, it gets exponentially weirder when it’s everybody who’s left similar traces—which is probably close to half the world’s population by now, if it hasn’t already passed that point. I’ve been online for forty years or so, continuously for about thirty. Another such span of time, and a solid majority of people on the planet will have most or all of their lives self-documented in a detail that has never before been possible in human history.
My fiancée is a social #historian, focusing on a little over a century ago. There’s lots of material, but never enough. So much is irretrievably lost. Her counterparts a century hence will have the opposite probem.
Probably a good thing those teenage #BBS posts are lost forever. Er, I think: maybe they’re still on a stack of cassette tapes in someone’s basement. If so, I hope they stay in their graves.

@jamiemccarthy @PeteForsyth @fabian @tchambers
Jamie — Thank you for adding your first hand #SlashDot caution.
Building and maintaining community interest in #DistributedModeration as ‘jury duty’ whose reward is community Karma would be a challenge,
But there seems to be a broad interest in community based moderation that is fair, transparent, and federated — not monolithic. An approach based on the Slashdot model might get traction and community support.
The first articles and postings discuss what happens, when #Twitter goes down for good.
Well, this is something you should have been aware of before the current #Musk situation: https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/
Don't contribute anything relevant to gated communities (only)!
#Reddit #HackerNews #Slashdot #Facebook #Metaverse #webforums
Anybody saw 🧵 on 🐦 about #Reddit’s #moderation challenges? Someone there suggested that #Slashdot solved mod. yrs ago with their #MetaModeration approach.
tldr: Mod. is a jury-like duty. Everyone has to mod (semi-random). Posts get karma. Mod decisions are kept in check by meta-moderation. You choose preferred threshold to use the site. Result: soft-blocks instead of hard ones.

Familiar w/ this? A model for #Mastodon instance (or even distr’d) moderation❓
