You're correct where it counts (not Roman at all) but it was around before Italian Fascism:

It was during the period of the French Revolution that the gesture was invented by revolutionary republicans who framed their politics as a revival of the Roman republic.

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

Fedora Kinoite.

KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is "immutable" which means you can't break it.

Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a "just works" I recommend an immutable distro.

Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.

I disagree, AI slop cannot teach anyone that "hate is real". It cannot teach anything, only persuade.

Even without AI- if you are trying to learn about the world, social media is not a reliable place to get information because it will only show you what the algorithm prioritizes. And the algorithm (even if showing real, non-ai, images and videos) is not trying to paint a cohesive and accurate version of events.

Sometimes I think AI slop does nothing but remind us that social media could never really be trusted to deliver reality in the first place.

You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.

 

Someone should probably jump in and explain what federation means.
