and idk i work in libraries, i write XSLT and weird yaml metadata files and raw RDF as a hobby; the kind of person who views digital space as, ideally, an uncurated mass of raw data to sift through is not somebody i will ever understand
the tools i want are not search tools but organizational tools
the absolute bare minimal action of favouriting or bookmarking a post that you might want to see again is the bar which is too high for these folks
literally any active effort or curation is too much of an ask, it has to be entirely automatic
“funnel my entire home timeline into a massive bin that i can have a computer run a full text search on” is, to be clear, entirely the latter
@KitRedgrave sounds like a pretty big L to me
@KitRedgrave if your success doesn't have anything to do with pokémon is it really a success
@KitRedgrave also god i hope so 00s music was the shit
@KitRedgrave technological excess
@noelle ironically, the more of a challenge you make it, the more interested That Fucking Kid becomes in your yard
@gaditb no i just mean like you know

causes of death
i see a lot of people talking about COVID-19 being the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer
what i don't see those same people discussing is how heart disease and cancer are both conditions whose prevalence is also inflated as the result of economically-driven policy and communities deciding to take on a certain level of “acceptable risk”
COVID-19 is not worse than cancer. so why is it that people get extremely up in arms about that one but remain utterly silent about the other “big C”?
@coriander i think this question will probably be resolved in 2024 when they inevitably release some manner of remake but we'll just have to wait and see
if it's an unova remake then maybe we won't know until Gen X
(i hope it's not an unova remake because i honestly don't know how they could pull that off [short of just doubling the length of the generation]; the unova games are Complicated and basically require a whole generation just to themselves)
@coriander what i'm saying is that EITHER Gen I–III didn't happen OR Gen VI–VII didn't happen but we don't know which one
