I like this perspective of yours, and while I don’t think I’ll join you on your instance (I take it this was an open invitation, yes?), I’ll look into ways to hide votes on my client.
Although I do wonder, would you prefer everyone to return to long strings of “+1” and “agreed” posts?
Love the outside the box thinking though. Really inspirational!
I would totally do that. Only problem is that the third yacht really is my favourite, so I’m gonna pass if that’s okay. Thanks!
But boy, if he does…
I recommend installing calibre web on a home server, installing koreader on the Kobo, and accessing your eBook library over your WiFi and OPDS.
Koreader is such a good reading experience, I never want to go back to stock firmware (well, except for the dictionaries maybe, those are better.)
It’s going to be powerful by every imperial, too.
Oh boy, 2017 can’t come soon enough!
This file compresses so well. 🤏
What is this doing in Technology?!
Grindr faces massive fine for “allegedly” “sharing” “sensitive” “user” “data”.
It’s that, plus “notifications can disrupt your sleep.”
“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”
And I’m sure the fish he caught that one time really was YEA big. And boy the fight he gave him.
By god, lemmy is civilised. 😂 I love it.
I can see what you mean, too, but am still on the liking him side I guess. And anyway, l’art pour l’art and all that, right? 😅
Hm, interesting. I didn’t read it like that, but as an economist trying to make sense of what’s going on and explain it to others. I didn’t question whether the thoughts are original, neither do I know if there are holes in his concepts that I as a non-economist am blind to. My personal opinion, anyway, is that the message is important today (or better yet 15 years ago but nobody would have listened 😉), no matter whether he is primarily motivated by his ego or what.
Maybe this makes me part of the people he caters to, but that line of thinking doesn’t lead anywhere meaningful anyway, I think.
I liked the end of the book: A call to action for us to come up with tools and technological solutions for “users” to stand together so we can create resistance against overly powerful cooperations and demand our rights. I don’t think it’s hypocritical for him to ask for this either. We need people to point problems out and problem solvers, both.
Have you read more of what he wrote or how did you come by that opinion on him? Technofeudalism and a number of interviews leading up to the book release was the first I was exposed to him.
Is that a way of saying you think he’s wrong?
I thought the book had an interesting core idea, even if his grasp on technology seems rather loose and I really disliked the literary device he used to explain said idea.
What’s your take on it?
I strongly disagree with this statement. Just because it’s hard to do doesn’t mean it isn’t what you rationally decide you want to do. The reason for staying and the reason for leaving are orthogonal to one another or else there wouldn’t be a conflict. Compare to substance addiction: You decide you want to stop, but you need.
It’s only fair.
One’s a crusty bus station, the other a busty crustacean.
What’s the difference between a dirty bus stop and a lobster that underwent plastic surgery?
