🖼️«En 2019, la mediana del #salario mensual real de los #jóvenes entre 18 y 35 años era menor que en 1980, con caídas que van desde el 26% para aquellos con edades entre 30 y 34 años hasta el 50% para los de 18 a 20 años. Estas caídas se deben principalmente a una reducción muy acusada de la duración de sus empleos y a un aumento del peso del #empleo a tiempo parcial.»

Orwell and Huxley were both geniuses ahead of their time but their views of a future dystopia were a bit different. We illustrated author Neil Postman's words.

@tripu I just added qoto.org as a verified site for brave rewards. It was relatively simple to do.

This DuckDuckGo audit by @purism is a sobering read:
https://source.puri.sm/toolauditor/CEAP/-/blob/master/audits/ddg.md
Remember that DuckDuckGo is venture capital-funded which means that they must exit—either become a publicly-traded multi-billion-dollar company (sell to the public) or sell to one of the incumbents.
(What we need is a publicly-funded but independently run search engine. The EU could create such a thing… if they didn’t have they heads firmly entrenched up Silicon Valley’s bumhole.)

The excuses being given by MobileCoin/Signal for keeping their code changes secret for a year is plain BS. @polarhive @Seirdy

Things that are EXTREMELY my shit: this adorable form
true story: my wife-to-be gave me this form to finish filling out, long before we started dating. I still have it in a drawer somewhere.

This is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. Not to minimise the seriousness of #cyberflashing, but sharing with the world intimate/sensitive data/media without the consent of the other party is reprehensible (too).

#BillGates “concludes that people with three backgrounds will be the most in-demand from here on out: #science, #engineering and #economics. […] ‘I do think of basic knowledge of the sciences, #math skills, economics — a lot of #careers in the future will be very demanding on those things,’ Gates says.”

Useful heuristic for life: if you catch yourself expressing ideas similar to these, probabilistic chances are that you are wrong:
👉 “Music nowadays is rubbish.”
👉 “Young people today don't know how to have a good time.”
👉 “Kids are not interested in anything now.”
👉 “The media has become all uniform and partisan — not like in my youth.”
👉 “Where are commitment, creativity, rebellion in these days?”
👉 “This generation will have it worse than my generation.”
