"When companies weren’t afraid to make electronics FUN.
Everything was translucent and came in, like, seven different colors. Atomic Purple Game Boys, kiwi green iMacs, the see-through landline phones…
Now my options for a $1,000 phone are black, slightly-less-black, and sad beige.
I miss when our tech had personality."

Common sense. Empathy. Dignity. Decency. Humility. Class. Morals. Conviction. Social media is the opposite of all that. Now it's all about who can out-tragic-out-grieve out-shine out-perform-and upstage everyone with people making videos lamenting their hardships from the comfort of a cook-e cutter suburb, all while sipping over-priced coffee and rushing to beat each other to YT to type RIP under every clip of a recently dead celebrity. Addicted to their own main character syndrome, they care nothing for people around them, or society in general, with content replacing common sense. Entitlement replacing empathy. Vanity replacing dignity. Body count replacing decency. Ego replacing humility. Vulgarity replacing class. "Hawk tuah!" Virtue signaling replacing morals and 'outrage' replacing conviction. As they do so, every woman is the same tattooed, bronzed, bleached, over filled, saddle bagged a@@, fake nailed, false eyelashed diva for every man out there who is dooche bag with a high performance car and a can of protein powder, wearing a wife beater t-shirt, gold chains, and fanning out ten 100 dollar bills on his grandma's card table. Beyond that are the race baiters, the professional victims, the mental disorder martyrs with enough pharma contrived addictions to kill a race horse. Presented as rudderless, multi colored hair adult-children addicted to anime, furry conventions, and a library of pronouns. All this in the hopes of to gleaning some form of ersatz identity that they have forgotten how to forge for themselves in life. To use a metaphor, people in these times have the substance of soap bubbles. All oil and shine and warm air, which can collapse at any second under the smallest of stresses...and because of it, society as a whole is circling the drain.

when hovering over a #picturenumber in the comment section of izi that it showed a thumbnail. Or clicking the comment-button on the mainpage of izi that it would show the comments, not reload the page. I miss that.

Anna,
It's an intentional penalty when clicking on comments first, without scrolling through the content. You get shoved right up to the top of the page. I prefer to see the comments first in order to gauge the intelligence of the room. Now, ist verboten.
