Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Or the beginning of the new new Internet

[–] gothicdecadence 45 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Web 4.0 (we don't talk about 3.0)

Bro, you don’t want to buy a monkey to get rich? Bro…

Fucking cryptobros stole 3.0 from us. It was supposed to be decentralized internet, not this ponzi Blockchain bullshit.

Seriously. They talked about smart contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, and made it sound like NFT's would replace your mortgage.

Instead we got jpegs of monkeys and Logan Paul hustling digital eggs, and everyone trading on speculation with no one actually building anything other than scams.

I mean, the legitimate stuff is all still there and it's all still growing. But it was eclipsed by a bunch of assholes trading tulip bulb scams. Now that the scams are no longer profitable and have mostly pulled up their stakes, everyone's like, "Well I guess crypto was a bust, then!"

No one blames tulips for the bulb bubble. The bulbs all still worked just fine once they weren't worth thousands of dollars each anymore. But you didn't see it filling every page of every newspaper anymore, and that's a good thing.

Of course there is also the fact that you basically cannot use crypto for any legitimate purpose anymore due to draconian AML laws that have been passed in the last ten years specifically to fuck with crypto.

Out of genuine curiosity, what's the legitimate stuff?

Is that what happened to IPv5?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Funnily enough IPv5 actually existed, it was basically early VOIP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Stream_Protocol

I, for one, welcome our federated [lack of] overlords.

I have questions about your username. None I want visual aids in response. But questions none the less.

Well it's about time it finally came out!

[–] mkwt 6 points 1 year ago

There actually is a real project called Internet 2 (https://internet2.edu). It's a secondary high-speed backbone between institutions of higher learning. 15 years ago, at least, it was really fast...if you needed a fast connection to one of the few other members.

Another great bastion of reddit content has been felled.

Another reason for redditors to leave and join Lemmy.
