      I’m pretty sure future historians are gonna end up calling this the “Misinformation Age” instead.

        i like it, because it’s kind of ironic. the term used by the us govt is “disinformation”. so calling it the “misinformation age” tracks perfectly.

          Misinformation and disinformation are not the same (in German at least?).

          Misinformation is when information is wrong on purpose, to misinform someone. Disinformation is when information is just wrong, like when someone said something by accident that wasn’t correct.

            In English I look at it the opposite way:

            Misinformation = MIStake or accident

            Disinformation = “dissing” of information, or intentionally putting it down/lying about it

      We made it way too easy for morons to get online. Folks who don’t even know what a “packet” is can livestream their anus on TikTok, and capitalism is fine with that because it’s “monetized”.

          Less packet loss equals clearer anal shots.

          No, it is. Because now of the 30 people who believe Acne is the cause of the apocalypse, 10 of them have a special Discord, 5 have TikToks, 5 are “lurking”, and the remaining 10 are staring at walls in psych-wards after they tried to skin their teenaged kids to prevent…I don’t know.
