Is this odd? ;
I am waiting for the non human " Medi-capsule " I enjoy the idea of entering a quiet room, stripping and lying on a sunbed looking capsule to be scanned, measured, fluids extracted, diagnosed & finally issued instructions on lifestyle choices and medication.
All without seeing one person.
However, I prefer being able to chat with my Hairdresser, Grocery supplier or Butcher/ Faux Meat Technician.
Where are the Medi-Tubes Star Trek & Sci Fi have hinted at.
If Marie Curie could invent a mobile Xray machine over 100yrs ago.....?
EDIT: reread this updated toot and reboost it if you agree.
By unbanning Trump (EDIT: and by now countless other trolls and known fascists, as well as banning left wing accounts) Elon Musk is purposefully making Twitter (and by extension the world) an unsafe place for marginalized people all over the world.
We should not simply flee from Twitter, but actively work together to break its power.
Consider your stay on Mastodon a political statement, because that's what it really is. And consider not just focussing on your own comfort, away from the ruckus of hateful tweeters, but also contributing on building a lasting infrastructure were all people can be safe. And you don't need to be technical to do that. Promote using the Fediverse as a political and philosophical necessity.
It should be clear to you by now that media (be it social or otherwise) in corporate hands can never be truly safe. Maybe safe enough for you, but not safe for everyone.
We need decentralized, community owned, non-profit media, with a likewise technical infrastructure.
For safety.
For equality.
For democracy.
For freedom.
For our future.
EDIT: The war for safe social media cannot be won on a billionaire owned for-profit platform. Our battle is fought by creating our own thing. Shaping our own world.
After receiving an angry reply and getting blocked I want to send a plea to those reading my opinions.
* " They're only opinions. Open to be challenged and questioned.
If I say something that offends you ask me about it. Because I rarely make online statements when angered my remarks are 98% positive in nature. Not intended to cause harm. As someone who has had almost 7 decades of travel, many jobs in many different places, meeting many ppl of different ethnicities & social standing I feel qualified ( as many older ppl feel ) to offer advice.
Please don't get angry with this. It's not about you. Just because I'm offering another point of view doesn't mean I'm attacking you. Nor does it mean I'm correct.
Talk to me first. Ask me what I mean instead of telling me how horrid I was for saying something you thought I meant.
I love a good counter-argument. It's a great way to learn. That seems to me to be a huge problem today. Disagreeing makes you a target ( friendly jourdies is a strong case in point! To fire bomb his HOME!!) rather than move a discussion to a better solution.
That's it. Talk things thru rather than slamming a door on exit.
The Orion spacecraft made its first close flyby of the Moon on Monday, November 21, coming as close as 81 statute miles (130 km) from the lunar surface. As the Artemis 1 mission’s uncrewed spacecraft flew past the far side of the Moon, Orion’s orbital maneuvering system engine fired for 2 minutes and 30 seconds … Continue reading "Artemis I has Completed its First Flyby of the Moon"
