Sliving is a term coined by Paris Hilton, defined as “slaying” and “living” simultaneously. In this video, you will see. ... more.

someone on the other site was complaining that there’s nowhere to react in realtime to political and news events like twitter and you know what? maybe not everything needs a realtime tweet opportunity. maybe that breaks my brain and I can just read a little summary later or decide not to read about stuff
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Tuesday, 3 October 2023 23:06 (eleven months ago) link
But sometimes the realtime jokes were great.

I'm always like a year late watching the popular TV shows. Real time commentary on politics is all I have.

kinda hypocritical of us to be criticizing on a site named I Love X
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 02:51 (eleven months ago) link
I mean the way you get super emotional about sports and sorta live and die with it while it's on is sorta what Twitter did to all our brains with politics, except politics is real shit that affects your day to day life and news is 24 hours now so there's no reprieve. I think there's a good chance a study would find that being a regular Twitter user was terrible for your mental health
― frogbs, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 03:03 (eleven months ago) link
iirc Twitter never figured out how to “replay” a moment in time, like if you were watching sports or news after the fact and wanted to see how people were reacting, would have been cool

― jaymc, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 14:09 (eleven months ago) link
Seriously, we're in the midst of this unprecedented historical moment where there are thousands if not millions of real-time reactions to literally every public event that could theoretically be collated into some sort of easily-referenced online gestalt. I'm always looking for instances of this from the past (e.g. culling multiple contemporaneous news sources about a pre-internet event) to get a broader view of the event/construct a coherent timeline of causes and effects, etc. Squandered promise, thy name is the WWW.
― Prop Dramedy (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 14:55 (eleven months ago) link
facebook doesn't do a good job of this either even for your own posts; difficult to go back and search dirctly by day, or month, or anything. that always seemed like a no-brainer feature to me.

I think what you're looking for is one of those Huffpost pieces like: "Blah Tried to Tweet blah about blah; It Didn't Go Well"

yeah i think what it comes down to is its pretty hard to do and is not that satisfying in the end

What sort of functionality are you looking for, akm, that the 'Post filters' at the top of posts on your page don't provide? I've only had to use them a few times but they seemed to be exactly what I was looking for when I did.

oh yeah, that might actually work. I honestly haven't been using FB at all for over a year other than very cursory updates; I'll open it, look at the first handful of things on my feed, and close it and not go back for weeks. It's stopped being a platform I enjoy.

I'm still wondering what his strategy is here. The conspiracy theories about a Saudi-funded trashing of the platform seem almost believable.

I honestly feel like history will see a lot of this era as a black hole/Dark Ages for information, all this wasted time discoursing in ephemeral space and not properly recording any damn thing will really damage.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 5 October 2023 02:26 (eleven months ago) link
yup, digital info just generally does not persist well, like maybe you have a photo of an ancestor from 150 years ago even tho it may have been the only photo taken of them in their lifetime, now we can take as many photos as we like but instead of printing them we put them on facebook which i suspect will not exist in 150 years
― lag∞n, Thursday, 5 October 2023 02:34 (eleven months ago) link
was thinking about this in regards to some old MP3 files I used to have on an old hard drive, some of those simply can not be found anymore and maybe just don't exist anywhere at all anymore
― frogbs, Thursday, 5 October 2023 02:38 (eleven months ago) link
yeah theres no attic for someone to find them in, meanwhile you can purchase a record pressed a 100 years ago no problem

the attic to find them in exists. finding them is the problem.
you could probably still find an old 500MB hard drive with frogbs.mp3 in a 100 years, question is would you be able to read the hard drive (probably not)

There might be a bit of degradation of the media, depending on if anyone ever played it. Victrola needles were a bit rugged in 1923 and the records were kinda brittle.

Record them on animal skins as strings of ones and zeroes.

one kinda cool and metal thing i didn't really know was a thing until recently is bit rot. so used to thinking of digital data being infinitely reproducible in bitperfect fidelity but sometimes a bit will just flip maybe because a gamma ray hit it. i think modern f/s have all sorts of safeguards against this. but still pretty cool.

Given quantum uncertainty, it's a wonder information is as stable as it is.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 5 October 2023 02:52 (eleven months ago) link
here's an idea so crazy it just might work! instead of ones and zeroes, how about using musical notation? not perfect, I know, but it would be a big savings in animal skins!
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, 5 October 2023 02:53 (eleven months ago) link
There's a better chance of some future civilization being able to interpret binary code than its being able to interpret musical notation.

eh, to interpret the binary code of an MP3 would require knowing either the algorithm that produced it or else the piece of music that was encoded, just as decoding Egyptian hieroglyphics required a Rosetta Stone with the same text in other, known languages. musical notation is a much cruder system of encoding to crack. mainly it would require guessing that it recorded musical notes and figuring out the notes were in the octave scale.
