What do you think of the posting of easily searched questions here?
Does it bother you? Do you like finding the answers for OP?
Is it basic human nature to have double standards?
Every single person I know well has a double standard for something. Such as "I don't need to improve my driving but everyone else sure does" or a "do as I say not as I do" rule, etc. Though certainly some more than other. This leads me to believe all people do it in some way.
Is it simply human nature?
Do you block accounts that post with very high frequency?
Specifically the ones that post like bots but are not marked as bots.
The accounts that post into all sorts of comms including many they aren't a member of. The posts are usually pretty low quality and its clear the operator is not curating anything.
I find them annoying so I block. What do you think about it?
If it were suddenly revealed that a significant number of questions posted in this comm were ai bots would that bother you?
The purpose could be testing what passes for human or warming up accounts for later propaganda use or who knows what else.
Some say tech peaked in 2013 in terms of pre-enshitification. What year do you think it peaked and why?
EDIT: Enshittification, also known as platform decay, is a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time.

Why it is that in the USA for most people the default color for a casual sock is white but in most other places the default is black?
Not counting specific fashion trends or saying this applies to 100% of people. but why are those the default for the majority?
Would a sudden, permanent global internet blackout cause immediate societal collapse?
How long do you think we would last?
Is IPV6 better for youtube adblockers?
I’m trying to optimize my setup to deal with YouTube's recent anti-adblock measures, and I heard that transitioning everything over to 'IPV6' is much better. It's a completely different type of internet protocol that the ad servers can't track as easily.
My question is twofold: First, is there actual validity to the claim that this IPV6 system handles data packets in a way that inherently disrupts YouTube's advertising scripts? And second, how exactly does a layman go about activating this? Do I need to contact my Internet Service Provider to have them upgrade my line, or is this something I can manually configure within Windows control panel?
What do you think of the the Coke ON smart dispensers you see in the deeper alleys of Akihabara?
It stands in the rain, offering a Coke without expectation of gratitude. Is it not the ultimate manifestation of omotenashi?
