@dan_ballard this is about closing the information loophole which really burst into the public consciousness during Arab Spring, and finally re-consolidating elite control over what people see & hear to a model resembling the pre-internet broadcast television + newspaper era.

it has nothing to do with "protecting children."

I dig the look of this DIY PDA and appreciate that they chose to design for the strengths of a small OLED and a monochrome eink panel.

in germany there was this service where restaurants could register and people ordered food on. really just a website connecting both parties, i don't think it was extremely expensive for restaurants to participate as well. didn't do any delivery themselves, that all was up to the restaurants.

i agree on not using shitty services, never used streaming subscription myself for example. there somehow is the meme in peoples heads that they have to use certain services to belong to the in-group. i'd blame that on the school system. preaching diversity but if people dare to be different from the current allowed set of things they get hit with the whole force of groupthink. doesn't even have to be something political. back in my day techers had a very strong opinion what the correct pen was (made by the market leader..) and everyone using something different got shit comments from the teacher which the kids of course then did as well. i have no reason to assume it's different now.

something is wonky with qoto (or just my account?).

german leftists would get an instant heart attack if they saw solstice festivities in latvia. women with crowns of flowers. horrible!
