Makes sense; it takes time to encrypt giga/petabytes of data, 3 day weekend means one more day if your monitoring is “Bob in accounting can’t open payroll.xlsx.”

Alright I'm going to stray from news about buttcoin for a minute and throw this question out for debate: Has the proliferation of social media, games, and maybe parasocial relationships made the world a worse place because it reduces the need to find friends irl? I'm going to throw out at least 1 counterargument(s): I think the most heinous and problematic example of people being distanced from irl social relationships are parasocial relationships. However, parasocial relationships already existed before the internet in the form of fans of celebrities, musical artists, tv shows, so on. The proliferation of video games, forums, and maybe even comment sections (as laughable as that sounds) have actually assuaged the problematic aspect of parasocial relationships to include other people in the experience of said relationship (if you understand what I'm saying I'm kind of high rn feel free to ask for clarification). E: I'm changing "some" to "at least 1" because I only listed one duh. I may add other counterarguments (or perhaps supports) later. If the mods are cringing even at the idea probate me for being dumb.

no hay camino posted:Alright I'm going to stray from news about buttcoin for a minute and throw this question out for debate: I disagree with the bolded as being the negative outcome (probably more of a wash in my mind) but do think that the support structure you describe is bad because it allows people to get more heavily entrenched in that relationship, and through that a sort of alternate reality*, in a way/extent that I don't think really existed in the past because of tech/access barriers. I think the overall ease of access to the "celebrity", availability, and variety presented to people is also extremely bad, in the sense that not everyone is a gambling addict, but if you put slot machines in every classroom you're going to wind up with a lot more degenerate gamblers than you would if they had to seek it out and you'll probably get an increased number of extreme cases that society isn't equipped to manage. Some of this is Old Man Thoughts but I just find some of it very alien in a way I can't really grip. *a lot of what I know on this topic comes from reading threads on SA, which I've been on for over 20 years, so I do appreciate the potential irony of my understanding of this topic being an alternate reality.

One point I've seen is that the biggest difference is that people used to have parasocial relationships with big media personalities or stars, people who had managers, building security, assistants or interns to act as a buffer. Even though it failed, sometimes tragically, it was at least something of a layer. Now fairly small time people with no support staff are stuck dealing with these problems. They've got fan communities to manage, Twitter accounts to run all while trying to set boundaries. It's just kind of a mess.

On the other hand, it's allowed people who had great difficulty finding friends due to social and material reasons to access a much wider group of people and connect with those who have commonalities and shared interests they might not otherwise find. Like say, neurodivergent and/or LGBTQ+ people who live in isolated and conservative areas. It's not like IRL social relationships were ever necessarily healthier or more 'normal'- or rather, that 'normal' was necessarily a good thing.

I'd argue that the differences are overstated, generally speaking. Here's the secret: most of the people you refer to as "friends" IRL are more properly acquaintances anyway, in that they don't fulfil the role of "friend" in terms of being someone who you are emotionally "intimate" with for lack of a better word. So, what's the real issue then? Well, it's that it's generally more difficult for an online acquaintance to turn into a real friend than for an in-person acquaintance to turn into a real friend, so you might eventually run into problems where you feel lonely because you don't have that sort of intimate connection of friendship with anyone, while having many social needs still fulfilled. But that's not to say you can't have a deeper friendship with someone online, or turn it from a purely online relationship to one where you meet in real life. You just have to be aware of the differences and maybe make a bit more of an effort to go beyond an acquaintanceship. And as others have pointed out, it's often easier for a lot of people to take that first step online, so overall I don't think it's a bad thing.

Making guides available is even easier, force them to be digitally uploaded. This seems like an easy win for Biden to go with, and one the republican party would be stupid to oppose.

Doesn't matter, Fox either won't report it, or will call it something like federal regulations killing jobs. The talking heads will claim that actually the GOP accomplished this, somehow, despite Biden's best efforts. Normally it would be an excellent move, but we are now in Interesting Times.
