I program and do infosec/privacy, and like resisting all forms of oppression, thinking about creating good systems, and homesteading.

@nprofile…nmr0 I've thought long about how group singing is coded as cringey and how we're encouraged to hold our songs, plays, and other media to "multinational corporation" levels of production value. Who benefits from that? I don't think it's average humans.

Why is Rafiki, the only monkey character, the only one with an African accent, in a story set in Africa?

Everyone loves their kids and doesn't want them harmed. That doesn't make someone moral or good, it makes them human.
What makes someone moral and good is when they love others' kids, and dont want them harmed, too. Especially when those others are from a different race, religion, country, etc.
Sodom was destroyed by God because of "adultery, arrogance, inhospitality, and oppression of the poor, rather than explicitly sexual immorality."
Treating others poorly.

@nprofile…hw6s @nprofile…l7em incidentally, Robert M. Pirsig wrote a whole book about this and also going insane
I think his suggestion is to either take an emory board out of your wife's nail kit and go to town on it, or don't and just take your pencil in for servicing at the pencil dealership every 1000 words. But definitely never both. Or maybe the jamming is actually Nirvana itself and so it's best to do nothing. What is "best?"

I'm convinced some of these mobile apps are, like, mining Bitcoin or using my phone as free storage in the background or something. There's no way they need 300-400mb to order a burger or pizza when the apps I use to exchange photos and videos all day every day maybe use double that. What are they storing lossless 4K video of every menu option? Ridiculous

@nprofile…xzhg @nprofile…e4ry it was also somewhat cheap and cheap-looking. Modern composite flooring is essentially the same thing, but successfully approximates the feeling and look of varnished wood, instead of sticky white splotches that can't ever seem to get clean after a few years

@nprofile…gqvk a federal leader is planning to industrialize the removal of humans from their homes at a rapid, massive scale, I'd say we're in the Actual Fascism stage of fascism

Hypothesis: Pepsi is better with acidic food like pizza and hot wings because it's sweet and not very acidic, whereas Coke is better with fatty food like burgers and barbecue because it's less sweet and more acidic.

What does it say about the health of our society that people are c*nsoring their own words and using random unique invented syn o nyms on social media (that we're supposed to pick up on as readers) not because of government reprisal but because The Algorithm will associate you with negativity and straight up disappear you from the social space otherwise?

@npub1200…aqy2 it doesn't care about "you" it cares about what statistically makes it money, i.e. gets the most people to watch the most content. Former YouTube engineers said the "algorithm" is incredibly simple and shitty and biases everyone towards rabbit holes of unhinged content for this reason

@npub1trd…ussx yeah I'd much rather governments be using open source than proprietary. The question about "working with/for cops" is one of blood money, and also whether any nefariousness or privacy-violating activities are going on. All police departments should use Linux and pay for a support subscription (because all governments should run on FOSS, because corporations are evil). Separate from the fact that cops should probably not exist...
