Google completely sucks now, Facebook no longer seems to have the option to let me just see stuff in chronological order, it feels like Reddit absorbed half the internet, and today Twitter and Wikipedia decided they won't let me even browse their sites with Adblock and Ghostery running.

Did all the poo poo people said would happen begin to quietly happen?

yes the internet sucks poo poo now, but none of that has anything to do with net neutrality

I want to say there were other reports/studies but this was the one I remembered.

quote:

“There’s no evidence that any of these policies are only happening during network overload,” said Choffnes. “They’re throttling video traffic even when the network doesn’t need to. It happens 24/7, and in every region where we have tests.”

afaict they're still doing the kayfabe where they don't egregiously gently caress people over, in order to "prove" net neutrality proponents "wrong"

and then once nobody cares anymore and there's no chance the fcc will reinstate the old rules, they egregiously gently caress people over - probably things will get worse over time so fewer people notice

yesterday i posted a song title in a thread and when spotify rolled over to the next track, it was that song, and i'm 99% sure that it's related but i don't see how

i just assume everything i do online now is being hurled into some algorithm to be vomited back into my face to make me feel like i'm living in the future because that's cheaper than innovating anything useful

We have this advanced network where we can communicate and learn from people around the world and experience new things and we mainly use it to sell ads and products or porn. We gotta take the internet back for ourselves, whatever that means or entails, but the current way we experience the internet seems to be breaking our minds cause it attempts to attach itself to our impulsive pleasure centres

I'm on satellite internet and it's mostly terribly slow, BUT Reddit and YouTube and Facebook and Instagram all work great. Seems suspicious.

I'm also pretty sure they throttle the hell out of porn sites. I haven't been able to watch porn since last year. It's been rough.

The Brilliant SNES Emulator Author Known As Near Has Died
The author of bsnes and higan, Near consistently pushed emulation's state of the art

Update 06/28/2021 2:15 p.m. ET: Hector “Marcan” Martin has confirmed with Japanese authorities that Near died yesterday, June 27.

The original story continues below.

The brilliant, highly respected emulator developer Near (previously known as Byuu) appears to have taken their own life.

Concerns first arose yesterday evening, when the famously private programmer tweeted a photo of themselves followed by a string of messages suggesting suicidal intent.

Then, early this morning, well-known security consultant and hacker Hector “Marcan” Martin shared a Google document (content warning: contains explicit details) said to be authored by a real-life friend of Near’s, which is widely being accepted as proof of their death.

Writing in their Twitter thread, Near, who identified as nonbinary, recounted a lifelong history of abuse at the hands of bullies, which continued online over the years and more recently became centralized around notorious internet cyberbullying hub Kiwi Farms.

Near wrote:

But Kiwi Farms has made the harassment orders of magnitude worse. It’s escalated from attacking me for being autistic, to attacking and doxing my friends, and trying to suicide bait another, just to get a reaction from me. I lost one of my best friends to this. I feel responsible

They continued:

The internet is not a game. It’s real life. I’m a real person. This stuff really hurts. I poured my entire life into this. I have no real-life friends, I have no other reason for being. Only this. And now I have nothing.

It’s too late for me, but I pray that someone, at some point, will do something about that website. There’s too many people suffering, and no one seems to care because we are relative nobodies online, and they know that. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

Near rose to prominence in 2004 with the creation of bsnes (later renamed higan), which quickly grew to become the single most accurate emulator of Nintendo’s 16-bit Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Near famously scanned some 1,200 Super Nintendo games, down to their circuit boards, in pursuit of long-term preservation and truly cycle-accurate emulation that covered all possible edge cases.

More recently, they were in the news for releasing a much-improved translation of Square’s 1996 Super Famicom RPG Bahamut Lagoon.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline in the U.S. is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255. A list of international suicide hotlines can be found here.

DEATH. TO. KIWI FARMS.
