Now that little gecko who works for GEICO will probably tell you “You can save a load of money by switching to GEICO, and its so easy a caveman can do it, but we refuse to insure that abomination you call a Tesla Cybertruck that needs to be road illegal everywhere”

Yeah, my topic is basically about ideas on how to deal with our current environment and projects that can help with this including venturing into the woods to reconnect with them, but also some other things that are included such as medieval fantasy based story writing, a video series project which takes place mostly in the woods and can include a scavenger hunt to search for and find a number of certain things, etc. which would be much better for young people than staying indoors and constantly on tablets and phones. This can also help reconnect with natural magics and show things that are on the verge of becoming forgotten in favor of thinking that the next best thing is better, when that may not be the case as it leads to enshittification, such as the degradation which can be seen via remakes of Cartoon and TV Series, the increase in pollution, and internet sites that are going to shit with so many ads an enshittification.

My aim is to hopefully open and encourage discussion on this and about how it might be better to move away from a number of technologies and find happiness being outside, in the wilderness, and mystical places, and to look at what certain kinds of technologies may be doing to us, what needs to be rejected to regain happiness, and also what or who we are fueling by being lured into getting the next best technical thing that hits the market and where their interest lies, and are they trustworthy or are they very greedy. The idea is basically like looking at things that existed decades or longer ago that are becoming forgotten, what did we walk away from while being lured into something else we think is better when it might not be, and what feels like would be a good idea to bring back into the mainstream.

Anyway, I did take a look in !simpleliving@lemmy.ml and I’m not one-hundred percent about that being the right place for this. Probably would need to check with @inasaba@lemmy.ml about that, even though this currently has me thinking a new community may need to be made for it.

Hi, I did think about posting it to !casualconversation@lemm.ee before I posted here, but I was afraid there might be a risk of it becoming seen as a controversial topic such as becoming a political or a societal debate and didn’t want to risk being in violation of that rule over there. If you think I’m not going to be, I can post this topic over there to try to encourage discussion on it.

In that case, get some Invidious instances running on servers in Albania, problem solved.

Congratulations, you just identified yourself as a racist and need to understand you can’t just judge someone without first getting to know them.

This seems like it could be the work of someone who doesn’t want their webpage data being scraped and stolen by AI LLMs, that are using archive.org as some kind of method for bypassing paywalls.

I didn’t lose money because no money was involved.

I didn’t need a therapist back then.

This is mildly upsetting because I remember ICQ is where I first met a seer who I was referred to by someone else. This was back when I was looking for help regarding a number of strange dreams and spirit visitations I was dealing with.

You might want to check our React OS.

Are you sure its not Fangwood Forest? They say that’s a very dangerous place and would have you wondering why on Earth would you want to go there.

And now Papa Smurf wants to see a revolution get organized against this on the grounds of them clear cutting oak trees, culling poor vulpines to near extinction, and leaving small woodland villages consisting of mushroom style housing.

Or worse if the only internet connection you can get in your area is dial-up.

At least this is not “Google Is Paying Lemmy $60 Million for Fucksmith to Tell Its Lemmings to Eat Glue” otherwise I would be wondering why Lemmy Admins are excepting huge wads of cash from tech giants.

Yeah, I’m already thinking I may have to create a list of every non-profit organization that is currently sending me e-mails and post it either here or perhaps in Casual Conversation. I feel that getting over 200 e-mails a day has become way too much and I could use assistance with finding out which ones I should have been filtering into the trash. I had thought about if it should go under political, but that community has a rule that all posts need to be links to articles. I think the reason the amount of emails I get had gotten this crazy is because we are in a major election year, and I really need to switch focus more on koala conservation stuff and my story writing.

@Mistral@lemmings.world What do you get when you cross a Lemming with a Redditor?

And I think you forgot the following:

Remember to vote every Christofascist out of your congressional system on Election Day. They are in violation of your Freedom of Religion right.

And now probably can’t wait until someone accuses Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twiiter/X, Reddit, etc., of similar anti-trust monopoly practices and give the fediverse the appearance of the only option to switch to.

Posting here because of the privacy implications of all this, but I wonder if at some point there should be an “Enshittification” community :-)

There is, its called !enshittification@lemmy.world

And how would they handle it if you decided you need their help in taking down a dark lord wielding a piece of jewelry and is hell-bent on enshittifying the fediverse?
