Could you imagine how much money could be made if a company showed up and put out a video like "Your stuff keeps falling apart, food is pricier yet crappier, everything is a subscription, companies trick you in to paying anyway, and they think you're too stupid to notice. Us, here at [brand]... we just make good things you'll want to buy from us. No tricks.", and then actually stuck to it?

Morten Juhl-JohansenDanmark har fået ny placering på listen over verdens lykkeligste lande, og det skyldes formentlig de unge:
Livskvaliteten hos unge i vesten er faldet markant, og det skyldes blandt andet sociale medier, lyder det i FN’s World Happiness Report.

- eller også skyldes det... verdens tilstand. Vi har ingen at stemme på, der vil flytte statsministerposten, de største røvhuller har de største formuer med udtalt korruption, verdens klima er tydeligt på vej i kloakken, og en stor del af deres fremtidige jobs er i gang med at blive slettet af tillid til en teknologi, som ikke reelt kan løfte noget og bare vil give ekstra arbejde til de tilbageblivende.

mhoyeAnyone else remember that thing where 2020 taught us that a bufferless, deeply interconnected world of just-in-time production was incredibly fragile, and an otherwise completely manageable temporary disruption would cascade quickly into economic catastrophe, but instead of learning any lessons or building resilient, humane infrastructure we told everyone that the crisis was past and normal was back and go sacrifice your lives and health to grease the machine?
I do.

Chuck DarwinWe’ve been saying this for years now, and we’re going to keep saying it until the message finally sinks in:
mandatory age verification creates massive, centralized honeypots of sensitive biometric data that will inevitably be breached.
Every single time.
And every single time it happens,
the politicians who mandated these systems and the companies that built them act shocked—shocked!
—that collecting enormous databases of government IDs, facial scans, and biometric data from millions of people turns out to be a security nightmare

Today the EU Parliament said NO. ❌
Voluntary scanning by Outlook, Gmail, LinkedIn, etc. might come to an end on April 6 in the EU. Keep pushing everyone! 👏🥳

Looking for alternate scenes around alternate living: sharing, building, eating, and learning together.
Much obliged.
Is there a term of art for politicians demanding “sweeping new powers” to address some presumptively new danger to public safety, while not actually enforcing the existing laws meant to address that specific thing?
I think there might be, and it’s “protofascist”.
The British need to get themselves their own Independence Day.
