The old social media was at its simplest a chronological feed from the friends, you wanted to see. If I want to add personalization I could add a algorithm to do that, only so that it promotes my wellbeing. It really shouldn't be this

JTFC the comments on this one. And the "Free Palestine, F zionists" that made a return to ramp. I shouldn't be surprised of the security by obscurity of the aviation industry after seeing it for 10+ years, but still am. Remem

I see this as a line. Other end is concentrated power (via money, violence, manipulation,...) so something like a dollar per universal vote. Other end is one vote for each, including the future generations. Wikipedia is an obstacle for the

Wikipedia is a threat to the technofeodalist AI mind shaping consortium. As long as it's reasonably decent, the AI can't go full biased without consequences, but once it's gone there's nowhere normal people can easily to

Anything I can remove, I can restore. So yes and no. Few people have the willpower to stand against the addictive design, but I'm not one of them :D

I decided to go offline for this summer. I got a dumb phone and a card for public transportation, instead of the app I'm using now. Downtime from the algorithmic manipulation has been the breeding ground for my creativity and this is o

If there's a problem with the reader the firmware can be updated but I don't remember such issues since my first reader (Kindle version without backlight and physical buttons only, no idea of the year). Now a fourth one (Kobo) in

Who needs software updates and Bezos's spying. We have several different ecosystem e-readers in our household and all are used via USB and Calibre. The "extra time used" is won by multitude with approach where the reading sta

Nice pitch. I'll stream it right away! I've been watching Andor as a instructional manual recently and this seems like a good addition to the reality based manuals out there. Idiocracy, War INC etc.

I don't think it is making profits? Heavily subsidized and farmers are hurting.

Nationalist food security, at least here in Finland, seems really paradoxical as the main focus seems to be animal production, with imported feed.

I always keep coming back to the Nixon years when basic income was first approved in the senate by the republicans and stopped in the house by democrats. What a different world we'd be living in, if the (back then, at least supposedly)

Linux on Mac Pro 5.1 from 2009 and 2017 MacBook Air, both working perfectly. I prefer actually both to my corporate issue M4 one with MacOS. I'm not a fan of the Mac UX, but the hardware seems pretty damn good and the lifespan extends

I'm heading to the Graeberian world of bullshit jobs which ironically tends to head towards the direction of meaning. I'm pro "everyone cleans their own shit" but the meaning of a garbage truck driver could immense compa

Honest in the moral corruption and the endgame of the current political system, which is the power from the many to the few to the one ultimate authoritarian messiah. But yeah, lots of lies that emphasize the honesty of the endgame.

Wonder what you'd do with your passion in a just world where everything of creativity (okay almost) would not need to be turned into a income. I feel this fucking form of slavery as well hard. How sorry can life be?

One group voted for nicely speaking tax free zillionaires. Another one voted for hate speaking zillionaires. Third one didn't want to vote for zillionaires. Perhaps next time there'll be someone to vote not representing the zillio

I remember the top tech bros sitting at white house dinner for some serious asskissing, followed by paying zillions for the new golden extension. Wow such integrity, much win.
