I am a waste of oxygen

Show less of/not interested doesn’t work when the thing being recommended is multiple things Reels on Facebook (please die) is 3+ at a time and probably more. What am I saying no to? Mixes on YouTube (please die) are multiple things. What am I saying no to? This is of course all operating on the very generous presumption that you pressing no actually does anything; that they don’t just ignore it We probably need, some fucking regulation

What do you do if you genuinely hate yourself and feel all you do is fuck up?

I’m so confused by the edifice that is trump On the one hand he’s a supposed fascist, on the other the media genuinely makes up lies about him He’s a corrupt horrible person but all the stories about him are about how fair and generous he is He said they should bring back executions for people like Snowden then said he’d pardon him if elected (okay, I guess opportunism is hardly new)

Internet scraping is not an excuse for Facebook to lock instagram pictures behind a login wall First of all they do it themselves, they do it also for their LLM, they have shadow profiles of people and god forbid you don’t go on Facebook, they will bombard you with fake notifications (and deleting it is nigh impossible) Treat zuck for who he is, a malignant sociopath

Can someone please tell me how broadcasting works? I ask because I think I did this once by accident and I’m sort of wondering if there’s a “broadcasting list” I have so I can stop doing it

I’m sad Aaron Swartz never got to live technology since he passed (Never lived to see Snowden; that would’ve been interesting) I should’ve been able to like follow him on nostr or something Fuck MIT

Damus has to fix how videos work

I want more people to make the distinction between the main russiagate thrust and facebook’s data problems A few profiles apparently unlocked millions. That’s bad design and it deserves to be looked at outside things like Steele dossier

Bitchat is what you might see from someone truly interested in tech, ditto involvement in nostr Not like hijacking WhatsApp and making all your products useless and dominating your competition

Social media is form dependent Nostr is a bit like twitter in that you can follow people you know irl, but mostly not Facebook is for the people you know but it’s so corrupted because “dumb fucks” isn’t just a thing he said when he was 19, it’s exactly how he views people Reddit is the “world’s discussion forum” but it’s censored to hell YouTube is the world’s video platform but it’s also censored to hell (is this due to google’s corporate culture?) and they can’t do copyright dmca properly I don’t dislike social media but I want it to actually fucking work
