RESPITE
Humanekind offers a respite from the damaging, oppressive, criminal, corrupt, inhumane, inhuman, commercial web of slop, misinformation, disinformation, hate, misogyny, and ad-filled terrible shit
computing is the most personal thing
to communicate with the people you truly care about, to organize the information that is meaningful in your life, you do not need gigaflops of power
. the couple of teraflops you have in your hand are enough
when you hear things like, "that will not scale", walk away
. the people saying those things are corporate drones
. they think only in terms of corporate power
. to them, the only good things are things that bring profit
. these days, advertising is where the profit is
. that means collecting astonishing amounts of personal data that facilitate ad targeting
. the phone you paid a month of your salary for, is there to show you ads
do you like watching ads?
. i dont
. i find them incredibly annoying
. but life in the corporate world meand being inundated by ads, scams, personal attacks by perfect strangers
. to avoid that, you must pay for premium services, if that is even an option
other than moving to a cabin in the woods, is there a way to live an ad-free, hate-free digital life?
