Prova de que big tech é uma prisão:
"Um estudo recente conduzido pelo economista Leonardo Bursztyn, da Universidade de Chicago, retratou bem essa armadilha. Os pesquisadores recrutaram mais de mil estudantes universitários e perguntaram a eles quanto dinheiro exigiriam para desativar suas contas no Instagram ou no TikTok por quatro semanas. É uma pergunta padrão de economistas para calcular o valor de um produto. Os estudantes responderam que precisariam, em média, de 50 dólares (59 no caso do TikTok, 47 no caso do Instagram) para sair dessas plataformas.
Em seguida, os pesquisadores disseram aos estudantes que tentariam convencer a maioria dos alunos da faculdade a sair das redes sociais, também mediante pagamento. E perguntaram: “Quanto você exigiria receber para desativar sua conta se a maioria dos outros também saísse da plataforma?” A resposta, em média, foi menos que zero. Em todos os casos, a maioria dos alunos se dispunha a pagar para sair da plataforma."

"A passagem da #Índia na presidência do #G20 deixou marcas profundas. O país levantou a bandeira da chamada Infraestrutura Digital Pública (#DPI – #DigitalPublicInfrastructure)—como é o caso do #Pix ou do #SUSDigital. O poder da proposta indiana influenciou o mundo todo.
Agora é o #Brasil na presidência do G20…será capaz de produzir uma proposta original, como fez a Índia?"

Since the first Delete WhatsApp Day, Meta has invested millions in large-scale marketing campaigns, trying to convince Internet users that WhatsApp is a privacy-respecting service. It is not. Quite the opposite: threema.ch/bp/whatsapp-and-use

@luis @LinuxToday so don't support Debian at all, if you hate it so much...
Or just flatpak/appImage it...
There's the Slackware way, the Debian way, the Gentoo way, the Arch way...

You can say Debian sucks, it is your right to; same way I can say Debian is amazing, and I support the Debian way, secure n stable/rock solid packages... And I thank all the packagers, for their work n also, for reducing bloatware/unnecessary libs when it comes to Python and LOTS of other languages!

If you need the bloatware, just install it and all of the -doc and -dev packages... Ain't rocket science!

@luis @LinuxToday and, btw, if the user is not using Debian, why is he complaining about a Debian package? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

@luis @LinuxToday you can appImage it, or flatpak, or use the distro's .deb, or use alien, or compile it...
No need for drama.

@luis @LinuxToday but that's how Linux works! You use the distro you want to, or create your own. And that's all right!
I use Debian since 2002; I can guarantee you it is super safe AND super stable (even using testing or sid).
You don't even need to use that app on debian as a .deb; there are lots of ways you can skip the "official" package.
What people can't complain is that the folks responsible for that package are "wrong". As I said, that software is free & open source. If the devs are bothered, they can change its license!

There's no need for drama! There are tons of Linux distros & also, different ways to install/compile something for your Linux distro flavor!

@LinuxToday what debate? It is free & open source software; package maintainers can do what they want about the package! Not happy? Change the license!!! 🫶

By the way, if you do support any creator because you appreciate what they do, where do you prefer to apply your support: Ko-fi or Patreon?

If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that doesn’t differentiate between people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit those you so readily lump together with them.

Design for humans. Call them people. All else is secondary.

A fun article on the rise of Soviet watchmaking and how it rivalled Switzerland.

The Soviet Union purchased a bankrupt American watch company and moved it to Russia. This helped the USSR become the world’s second largest watchmaker.

Quartz watches eventually replaced mechanical watches in popularity. However, there is a resurgence of interest in mechanical watches today, due to the craftsmanship and history.

I don't spend my time attacking the US war machine because I have any special love for Hamas, Iran, Russia, China, or any other power. I do it because the US empire is quantifiably the most destructive and tyrannical force on this planet, by an extremely massive margin.

No other power has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions and displacing them by the tens of millions. No other power is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases, starving people around the world with blockades and economic sanctions, staging proxy wars, color revolutions and coups all over the earth, and working to destabilize and destroy any nation anywhere on this planet who dares to defy its dictates.

Only the US empire is doing this. No other power comes anywhere remotely close.

That's as murderous and tyrannical as it gets. Propaganda-addled empire simps sometimes try to act like it's strange and suspicious that I spend all my time criticizing the US war machine, when what's actually strange and suspicious is that everyone else does not.

One of the many reasons it's absurd to say a Jewish person from New York has more of a claim to Palestine than the Palestinians because the New Yorker is "indigenous" to the land is that their argument depends on expanses of time that have no relevance to the human lifespan. Claiming you had ancestors there 500 or 1,000 or 2,000 years ago is a moot point, because vast stretches of time like that have no meaningful personal relevance to a species that only lives about eighty years, whereas there are survivors of the Nakba still alive today.

If an event is so far back in history that you don't personally experience its reverberations and its consequences, then it's not recent enough to have any personal relevance to you. American descendants of slavery can rightly claim that slavery is personally relevant to them for example, because that population is still experiencing the reverberations and consequences of that historical event. Some white guy in New York who happens to share a religion with people who lived in Palestine a few millennia ago cannot make the same claim.
