I don't know who needs to hear this but

The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders

The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders

The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders

The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders

Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services

Capitalism is a disease

Intel introduces subscription based features in some of it's processors and I can't express how much I dislike this. It's disgusting. This is DRM on a new level with all of it's problem being attached in your freaking CPU.

I see that this will be mostly used in cloud service providers to bounce some extra costs off to the users.

Still we need to not allow this from ever being a success, if we want to have our own stuff that we own and control.

Fuck this bullshit.

I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!

✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default

✔️ I want the country to own it.

Every morning I load up Mastodon or Tusky and see the newest messages. Then I scroll down and press "load more" 5-20 times to page in all the messages until I see one I remember. Then I slowly scroll back up, reading in time order. It's bad UX.

Every social media feed product is like this (except RSS readers). I want to read everything, in time order. Why is that so hard?

This is actually a productive question and I'm glad you asked. Most of the "feeling" of whiteness comes about when non-white users are policed in their use of the platform by white users who try to impose their own norms of use onto these users without reference for the cultural contexts of their use.

That's a lot of the word "use" there, so I'll try to be clearer with a fediverse specific example.
