"Maybe we just ditch the algorithms."

Yeah, people have been complaining about how much shit the newfangled Web 3.0 sucks, but as it turns out, Web 2.0 has sucked quite a bit of shit, too, and it's only getting worse. Like... there's a certain... let's say... enshittification... about the whole thing.

I definitely wouldn't mind a return to the days of, like, Usenet (or newsgroups or whatever you want to call them) and stuff like that. Seriously, stuff like Reddit or whatever is basically little more than just way shittier versions of Usenet. And remember forums (or message boards or whatever you want to call them)? Can we bring back forums, too? Or, you know, something like those things, without all the extraneous, superfluous dogshit that has become associated with Web 2.0 (and especially without the fetid diarrhea that is associated with Web 3.0)?

Sure, I'll wait for someone to get right on that. And then I'll wait for the inevitable enshittification of all of that, too. ¬_¬

For anyone who may care, I just added RSSAtom feed for this journal to my Facebook and MySpace pages. Consider this a test, of sorts.

And now, to add some work for me to the process, I'm going back and adding titles to my more recent posts, because apparently posts without titles muck up the RSSAtom stuff.

Um... why is Tom in my friend updates/subscriptions thing on MySpace even though Tom isn't actually on my friend's list? Yeah, I know he's the "face of MySpace" and the "first friend" and whatever, but I removed him from my list about 5 minutes after joining the site back in the day. I don't care if he was tagged in a photo or if he has added a profile song. Hell, I'm only vaguely interested when people I know do these things, let alone Tom.

Anyway, I don't really care about the above all that much. I'm just killing time until I have to leave for school.

Yes, I'm off to school in about 10 minutes for another 6 hours or so worth of annoying crap (i.e. working on a CS370 project), the same as yesterday. Yes, I do realize that today is Sunday and that yesterday was Saturday. Blah.

*shakes head*

Like last time, I made some changes to my MySpace page last night, and when I got up this morning, there were 16 spam Friend requests waiting for me, 12 of which were from "This Profile No Longer Exists". While I've been messing with the page more often than before and this doesn't happen every time I do anything with it, it sometimes seems like these spambots just get on a kick and go absolutely crazy. Last night was just one of those nights for them, I guess. *shrug*

So, I have a Myspace account now. Whee! Oops, not anymore.
