Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Social Networks pretty much fucked up the internet. I like to interact with other people on the Internet, but it all gets messy when your real life gets tangled up in the wired (safe for a few people). The great, big fun about the internet is that it's anonymous. Plastering your name and face to it forces you to act socially desirable, and puts a filter on the one thing that the internet was a playground for; unfiltered opinion.I hope social networks die a slow, painful death. I think we're already seeing that, though. I'd say that in 5 years social networks will not be as prominent as they are today. On to a cyberpunk future! Also, what didn't help either was the great influx of unconventional internet people; I'm going to quote Shadowwolf's e-zine now, because he describes the matter amply. Quote Difficult to imagine nowbut doing this felt like the most exciting thing in the world, surroundedby a mystique of hacker romanticism and being a cyberpunk pioneer. Itwas a time when your mum and retarded jock cousin weren't on the internet,even more hardcore...you were probably the only person in your whole town orarea logged into cyberspace! The internet has changed, simply because the internet is made up of a different crowd than it was back in the day. In true nostalgia fashion I am going to say that the glorious early days (which I wasn't even part of) are gone. Now we have marginalized views, which used to be reserved for the crowd that didn't surf Internet, and which they force yet upon us. I do foresee a great upheaval in the coming years, where the youth which has grown up using the internet reclaims their throne. Or maybe it's going to be other way around, where we will experience a great social revolution as a response to the social upheaval on the internet? Meh, I'm talking out of my appendix. Gotta scoot now.

delet... Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I saw someone's youtube comment for a new moog synth demo in my g+ feed. I'll bet he didn't intend it to be there, plus stuff like this would just add to the volume of content filling up the feed. Will they then start pushing algorithms in our face to curate the news that we see, rather than just giving us the naked feed? I wonder if it even let him choose which circles saw the comment as this would stab at the heart of what made g+ any good in the first place, being able to filter what you put out there to different audiences? Can you imagine if everything we wrote on the net got dumped in our g+. delet... wrote on watmm, "ijbadfibsdvkpiushdvjsjdvujhsdvjnsdjv fucking google oajsbnfubsdjnsjdnfgjsdf". Oh my. Also, it keeps wanting me to post on youtube under my real name and only let me keep the name i had been using because it was 'an artist name'. Despite this it keeps asking if i want to change, fucks sake. Maybe all this is to moderate people's posting behaviour on the net. It's not just so that they've got a one stop spying snapshot of who you are on the web.

sheatheman Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Youtube comments were a continuous single blind study for me. I honestly enjoyed the typos, the struggles at expression, the short tempers and misconstrusions, the racism. Ah, the racism. When someone leaves a comment that is such a cruel and unfathomable insult, but is masked with a good bit of wit -- I miss that textual voyeurism. I miss thinking of a comment you know will get 300 thumbs up and watching it happen. It was a 24/7 battle royale of illiterate housewives, 12 year olds who say, "Hey I'm 12 and I think this music is awesome," truthers, neonazis, Oprah lackeys, and a few people like me who were happy to sit back and watch with some spare interjection. This is the youtube that was lost.

This means i get non-pausing/stopping 1080 video stream, direct from google.

delet... Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 ok these are the IP ranges that i have blocked in my firewall. (you'd think i would have just looked there first, lool). 173.194.55.0/24 206.111.0.0/16 Now by IP range it means you block from 173.194.55.0 to 173.194.55.24 and the same for the second range. This cleared my problem up straight away. I think that new IP ranges have been added in the intervening time, but i haven't been noticing drop-outs at all or been having to reload pages with any frequency since then. Importantly, it is not blocking 1080. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures A member of the non sequitairiate.
