Hello mastoart.social! I just moved instances so let me re-introduce myself.

If you like bright colors and cozy art with a pinch of weirdness then my art may be for you.

Mastodon is my main social network but I am also on Insta and have a shop!

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

RE: dair-community.social/@emilymb

The framing of this episode is extremely silly ("Is she a prophet... or is she just wrong?"): That is the oddest dichotomy I've encountered in a while. I'm a scholar, carefully observing what's going on now through the lens of my expertise, and sharing what I see.

I do my best to get things right, though no one can hope to be 100% correct and on top of that I'm working in a field where a lot of the claims I am debunking are based on non-disclosed datasets, etc.

レンタル・ファミリー by HIKARI

✅ I love Brendan Fraser to death, and this is yet another role I can’t imagine anyone else pulling off.

✅ Lighthearted and grim, bittersweet and touching, profound and sentimental, all in the right doses, perfectly balanced.

✅ So many familiar corners I love & hope to see again this year.

Normally I can’t stand make-believes (or hoaxes), but the script places the protagonist in exactly that spot and—with a clever twist—puts this sentiment to the test right away.

중고거래는 솔직히 직거래가 가장 좋은거같음
사람 얼굴보고 대화하고 물건보고 거래하는게 내 성격에는 더 맞는느낌.
특히나 반대로 내가 물건을 팔때는 최대한 불편함없게 설명하고 주기를 선호함

> When I rebooted my messy personal website a few weeks ago, I realized: I would have paid $25,000 for someone else to do this

What? This is apparently from the Paul Ford NYTimes article I haven’t read (paywalled, also not a fan) but is this really the going price for a personal website these days?

Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.

But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no longer have to pay eye watering roaming fees for calls and data when you travel to other EU countries, as it was common until 5-10 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if big tech has at least some constraints onto what it can do with your data and how much choice you have as a customer.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you, as a EU citizen, can benefit from the services of any other embassy of any other EU country if stranded abroad.

Those who try to depict the EU as a bureaucratic hell worth dismantling are those who hate the impact that its laws have on their freedom of exploiting markets, exploiting customers or living out of rent money.

Or those who hate the combined economic and political power of a united Europe with a single market because it threatens their national interests, and they’d rather exert their leverage with a bunch of divided and weaker countries instead.

Europe isn’t perfect and a lot can be improved. But those who call for its demise DO NOT talk in your interests.

Remember the "One Laptop Per Child" project, that developed a low-cost computer for children in developing countries? I was always amazed by a certain feature: The "View Source" button.

When you pressed it, the source code for the currently running application would open. This was supposed to encourage tinkering with the software on your device! <3

I've been pondering what it would take to build that button on modern machines. Has anyone seen something like that?

(Prototype in next toot.)

@benBen Werdmuller wrote a good article "Growing the open social web" for FediForum.

It poses this *essential* question: Why do we want to grow the open social web and for whom?

While the question is crucial when considering the future of social networking and the role of online technologies in society, it is not a question that is being addressed in any significant way. Our social web and fediverse "just happens", emerging from this chaotic cauldron of mostly technical discussions about which features to put in apps, how to connect one app to the next, and which social web technology or app is better than others.

Ben makes an appeal for creating good protocols, where the real value is, but only if we can share ownership of them. I 100% agree with the points in the article.

But how do we get there? What is this ownership? How do we achieve it, and subsequently retain it? I wrote down some some thoughts in a blog post.

“I feel like, increasingly, it's impossible to talk to a single human [at Pinterest],” Pinterest user Tiana Oreglia said. “Along with being filled with AI images that have been completely ruining the platform, Pinterest has implemented terrible AI moderation” 404media.co/pinterest-is-drown
