NFTs are clearly a direct response to a modern world in which it's rare for anyone to actually *own* anything, instead renting/streaming it all from five companies

so, of course, instead of taking the message from this that we're living in a fucking serfdom and that's not okay

these bros are just like "well *I* wanna own things so I'm gonna set up a system where a lot of people lie to me about how much I own this monkey to make me feel better"

seems like 90% of what techbros do is respond poorly to how hellish the world is by creating a magical illusory internety alternative to everything

I am looking for laser cutter software that will run, and preferably compile, on Linux - bonus points if it compiles on 64-bit arm platforms.

Apple is slowly boiling frogs on client-side scanning.

They got a backlash when they announced everything they were planning all at once so now they’re drip feeding it, hoping you won’t notice.

Natalie Grams-Nobmann ist mal wieder sehr schön deutlich.

"Niemand kann naiv genug sein zu glauben, es hätte keine Folgen, wenn Menschen jahrelang Zuckerkügelchen als sinnvolle »Alternative« zur Medizin angedient werden. Oder wenn das Narrativ bedient wird, Wirksamkeit könne anders als wissenschaftlich erklärbar erzielt werden."

"Ich sage: Wer Globuli sät, wird Impfgegnertum ernten. Denn wer an den einen Unsinn glaubt, ist geneigt, dem nächsten auf den Leim zu gehen."

Apple is trying to redefine what it means to violate your privacy. We must not let it.

AfD Politiker wollen die “totale Revolution” …
“Wahlen helfen ohnehin nicht mehr.”

web surfing has become all but impossible. nothing links anymore, it's all narcissistic inside linking if anything. i used to surf links across the network, stumbling from one thing to the next, surprises and missteps. now it's all search hubs and feeds rather than networks.

what we use now via the http protocol isn't really the web anymore. there's no web here. it's all silos, standing alone and trying desperately to keep me from leaving. no longer a digital ocean, now small tide pools with no path between, left in the receding wake of the surf.

The FBI produced this nice chart comparing what kinds of privacy leaks the various messaging apps have.
