My favorite is how Zillow and Trulia hid the demographic info of neighborhoods despite it being one of the most used features

Google still knows what's up, which is surprising given how hard they've generally cucked the search engine.
Also, back in 2020 the original racial dot map got taken offline. It was a project by the University of Virginia to provide an accurate picture of race in the US based on census data. When it was taken down they issued a half-assed apology coping about how the data was no longer accurate, didn't reflect multiracial individuals, classified Arabs as White, etc. In reality they took it down because all it was being used for was
purposes, and I cannot emphasize in retrospect just how insane everyone went in 2020 when it came to perceived racial injustices. BTW it's incredibly bad practice in academia to take down a dataset once you've made it publicly available, but no one batted an eye here.

Best practice for finding places far off to move to when I was younger and much more mobile was just going to the Wikipedia page for the town or neighborhood and scrolling down to the demographics section. You want an absolute minimum of 80% non-Latinx white. And it is night and day how different 80% and 90% are. The sweet spot is >95% but things are usually decent at 80+ and good at 90+.
!followers unironically important advice for if you're ever looking to move to another part of the country and want to find out where the good places to rentcel are. Zillow and Apartments.com and shit are incredibly misleading. Always check the demographics. Do not deviate from the strategy above or you will regret it immensely. If you can't find anything not outrageously priced in the good areas, rethink your move and realize it's not salvageable.

In general the degree to which data and access to data is being fricked with and destroyed and how rapidly it's happened over the last ten years has been by far the biggest thing that got me with rightoids.
It is fricking INSANE to me how orgs that (I think?) used to do cool shit like fight corpos and feds on insane data laws have become completely silent and toothless.
The entire fricking modern computing landscape is about twenty fricking corpos (501(c)3 or otherwise) butt-puppeting modern users in to viewing ads (don't even get me fricking started on how advertising is THE fricking bubble primed for a Great Crash) for garbage shit they don't actually fricking want (coherently extrapolated volition).
All major modern computing platforms (networked or otherwise) are darn near designed at this point to introduce a subtle but deep schizophrenia in end users:
Take ad-blocking on consumer websites.
Modern computer networking at its lowest fricking conceptual level is about REQUESTING information. The idea that your device can be FORCED to request ADS is offensive on the deepest level to human sensibility. Yet this is the absolute state of things.
Go try to set up system ad-blocking on any stock western consumer phone. I'll fricking wait.
Heck, try setting up any entire-network comprehensive ad-blocking scheme. Outside of serious dedicated computing power and intentionally MITM'ing every fricking device on the network, you can't. You can block some of the idiot-tier ads on consumer apps, but even then, apple has started consolidating ads for apps, running them through apple servers much like youtube does now as well. (The ad originates from the content server, meaning you have to semantically interrogate the data to actually strip out the fricking advertising, vs. separate ad servers where you can just easily block requests to a server)
I write all this to explain that when it comes to serving fricking ads, web tech is ever-evolving and finding new ways to adapt (DNS over HTTPS is in direct response to old/simple adblock methods), but when it comes to actually making computation fricking useful or fun for the end-user? Everything is fricking dead.
This is genuinely one of my favorite things about rdrama: the site is fun, and the fun is semiotic and semantic. The bitches end-users have here are about glitches or for features that would 'un-fun' the user-experience in non-intuitive ways. Combine that with a userbase that covers everything from pharma normie foids to unironic incels and genuine 00s-era oldstrags and you have the closest thing on the modern net that's "like the old web". The admins here act like people, with various, sometimes conflicting desires, and the userbase isn't a gigantic fricking morass of eglin/GPT bullshit like the anon forums have become.
To bring this all home, the internet is increasingly becoming a homogenized mass of bullshit running off of CDNslop. Fight this by effort-posting, by learning how to make your own website and by never, ever, using cloudflare, akamai, AWS or any of that fricking bullshit.
Go rent a VPS, build and colocate a fricking shitbox, whatever it takes, but the only fricking way to stop this shit is by doing what the stragnerds running this rainbow frick-frick festival using AWS as a back-end did: go fricking get your digital 40 acres and a mule.

What's up with cloudflare?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Glad you asked! They're a single monolithic entity controlling web-content delivery across almost the entire
westerninternet.Oh sweet mother of god, holy fricking shit, I didn't realize HOW FRICKING BAD IT WAS:
https://6sense.com/tech/cloud-security/cloudflare-market-share
That is so much worse than I thought it would be.
What a CDN (Content Delivery Network) like Cloudflare or Akamai (lol) actually does is store and provide all the data-heavy stuff that makes modern websites so snazzy and jazzy. You see that rainbow-colored marsey dancing in the very top left corner of this page? Those are kilobytes that every single person loading this web page needs. Multiply that by ~25,000 people, hundreds or thousands of which are loading the website at the exact same time and you start to see why you need serious data capacity to run a website with a large userbase. Heck, this form just let me upload a random picture from my clipboard with zero effort. That data has to go somewhere, and Cloudflare's business model is being that somewhere.
How did the oldstrags let this happen? Well, much like Walmart, Cloudflare provides a necessary service (letting your rinky-dink little server provide concurrent pageloads for MILLIONS of people, if you go viral for example) for very slightly above what it costs. Cloudflare hit the ground running with enough datacenters to make their business model viable, and one does wonder where the heck they got that kind of funding.
These days, Cloudflare offers their entry level services for free. Switching DNS providers isn't difficult, but it's enough of a hassle that once you get all your TXT and MX and SRV records unfricked, you're not going to want to deal with the headache clusterfrick of trying to actually do a zone transfer.
Cloudflare is one of the companies that made Jersh's life a living heck in trying to keep the farms on the internet.
Due to economies of scale, "just start your own CDN" is almost exactly the same prospect as "just start your own Youtube".
Again, the only actual remedy here is for everyone with even maybe the capability to do so to go set up their own website, even if it's just a single shitpost HTML page.

Under current leadership, the monopoly of cloudflare is somewhat bearable. The CEO only caved on kiwifarms once

I moved out of my hustle and bustle to the countryside a few hours away during Covid. I still need to go back occasionally to meet friends or network. Without fail whenever I use google maps to navigate it insists on driving me through the absolute worst favela tier parts of the city.
Of course I'm aware of this policy google implemented a few years ago so I will make a custom route that takes just as long but avoids the ghetto. Google will then throughout my trip sneakily attempt to force me to go through the ghetto anyway. A sneaky dialogue will pop up βa faster route was found saving you 2 minutesβ which you have 10 seconds to cancel (while driving mind you) or it will automatically switch you back to googles preferred route.
This trip takes about 3 hours so saving 2 minutes is so insignificant I'm shocked that google even tries to correct me (except I'm not cause I know their motive isn't to give me the best route but to get me to stop in some black neighborhood and buy Jamaican beef patty slop to help disenfranchised communities). Even if you catch this and say βno I'd rather drive through the white neighborhoodβ it'll still try at least 5 more times during the trip to switch my route.
Google is total cuck tier, imagine my surprise this little soyboy nerd actually fought against a feature that people actively request and he even wants himself to score virtue signal points.
