It can be a reductive approach if you look at the world exclusively through those glasses, but the effect the expression alludes to exists in very specific circumstances e.g. street cleaning, overfishing, pollution. It's like saying overpopulation is not a thing because that social darwinist Malthus was the first to refer to it.

This is such a disinfo nightmare, imagine if it was trained (prompting would be easier actually) to spread high quality data with strategically planted lies to maximize harmful confident incorrectness.

And they are serving lots of ads under the radar and shaping their tastes by intermixing the ads seamlessly with entertainment to bypass our advertisement "antibodies". Sometimes I find some of them saying things and having interests I've never known they had only to find their feed randomly peppered with these interlopers.

It's the most annoying thing of these enthusiasts: they glorify cryptocurrencies and blockchain while glossing over the massively important and actually useful cryptography discipline in the background.

By Betteridge's law of headlines: no. Also: this is an ad.

BTW, does anybody know of an offline encyclopedia which works under Wine?

You can download wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

edit: if you really meant you want to see if any old encyclopedias work under wine, I never tried :D

yea, sometimes these guys sound like the christian mobs from the early "dark ages", the ones who destroyed pagan symbols e.g. Hypatia.

What have new generations been led into thinking that the internet is supposed to be? They dont even know what a directory is or what a file path is, because of design that dumbs things down...

It is important, because what people think the internet is and what they value will affect what it will evolve into.

E.g. wikipedia is reflects somehow my view of the internet in the 2000s (Encarta :D)...but for some people today the internet is just social media...or just videos?
