Attached: 1 image I usually get where big tech is coming from, but this is just malicious tracking. If you're an engineer and you're asked to implement something like this, it's time to whistleblow. I hope the IE DPA will look into it. Anyway, Local Network Access (https://github.com/explainers-by-googlers/local-network-access) can't come soon enough. https://localmess.github.io

Sometimes I wonder why people worship authority-hungry clout chasers instead of tearing down the whole system that lets them stand above others. But then you realize this clown is the one steering the circus in the US right now, oh well, anyway, moving on.

You were just selling lemonade. by Jordi Milian Yamada
An anti-capitalistic playable essay

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
– Frank Zappa

This is actually a superb, forensic report by Special Rappoteur Frencesca Albanese on the contribution of global #capitalism to the #GazaGenocide, which I'd encourage everyone to read.
Every paragraph is worth quoting.

For every $1 valuation of a billion-dollar company, at least 50¢ is in the pocket of a lucky person who thinks they're smart, most of whom had rich parents to boot. There's like, 10,000 of these people, tops, yet their sociopathic bets on everything from Juicero to "the metaverse" to "AI" pull technology development around by the nose.
Did I mention that this crap is only a side table to them after they ran out of "war" and "burning down the planet" to invest in?
#Capitalism is a casino, and most people can't even aspire beyond being a bigger chip.

I sometimes find myself involuntarily laughing when I see a police vehicle pass by, a reflex born from recognizing the role of the state’s coercive apparatus in maintaining capitalist and authoritarian social order.

The reason we keep building the Torment Nexus is because all we have are Torment Nexus factories in a system designed by and for Torment Nexus factory owners.

Capitalists are fine with destroying the world. And they will be there to profit from rebuilding it from the ashes.¹

Read "What went wrong with capitalism" by Ruchir Sharma.
A mildly interesting description of the major events in world an US economics in the last 50 years. Might
be a fair summary for anyone who didn't live through it or has a poor memory.
In short he thinks what went wrong was government bailing out failure leading to massive debts and increa
sed inequality.
Governments took over all the things instead of letting capitalism sort them out, he reckons, and wheneve
r a big industry or company fails you just get socialism for the rich and a bail-out from new printed money.
Easy cheap money, constant bail-outs, government intervention, leading to zombie companies racking up every larger debt to exist, billionaires who can't fail due to government support, and a stock market that's up-only bringing a flood of inefficiently-allocated capital.
Is he right? I mean, maybe, sort of. But when an industry really can't be allowed to fail, say water supply and waterway management, allowing private capital to extract maximum resources from it isn't the best method to manage it in the first place. No wonder they need bail-outs. Capitalism fails here because capitalism isn't the right solution here. We need publicly owned national services, not robber barons without
bailouts.
So, you know, half right. Perhaps these are some of the reasons why capitalism fails, but also we shouldn't even be trying to apply capitalism to every single thing in the first place.

"We shouldn’t be surprised, because capturing communities with false promises only to sell us out is business as usual in the corporate internet. The founders handled the transition horribly, even by tech industry standards, and the pain and disruption it creates in our lives is real. Yet capital is constantly pulling the rug on online communities... For corporations, it’s always profits over people"

I posted about meme shootings and a bit about how they're incentivized by "the algorithm." I felt like there was a lot more to talk about, so I expanded it to a blog post. (Thanks to @… for the video link, I also referenced in the post.)

This heatwave in the Nordic EU? Oh, obviously climate change, courtesy of capitalism warming up the planet like it’s one big corporate sauna.
But hey, don’t blame me, I’m just here trying to cool off while CEOs keep printing profits instead of fixing the planet!

Computers are the cold machinery of industrial despotism, tools of alienation imposed by capitalist power.
Junk no worker ever called for, standing in opposition to the free self-organization and creativity of the laboring masses.

You're damn right it is madness. We need to scrap these terrible systems.
"Suzuki says that, despite his understanding of the climate crisis, Carney — like all of us — is trapped by the economic and political systems we've created. And for Suzuki, our only hope for survival is to scrap those systems entirely.
David Suzuki joins Jayme Poisson on the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion from what a world of irreversible climate change looks like to what he describes as the "madness" of continued investment in fossil fuels to the lessons environmentalists of the future can take from the past.”
