In a 2020 letter to management, Max Eliaser, an #Amazon software engineer, said #Ring is “simply not compatible with a free society”.
He's right.

“However they may be as economic theories, #Fascism and #Nazism are psychologically far sounder than any hedonistic conception of life. The same is probably true of Stalin’s militarised version of #Socialism. All three of the great #dictators have enhanced their power by imposing intolerable burdens on their peoples. Whereas Socialism, and even #capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last #war.”
I finally got to start studying the #Bitcoin whitepaper. I’ll be reading it on the #reMarkable2 this week.

JavaScript está en todas partes. Las apps web son legibles y editables, por definición. Muchos programadores buenos (y todos los malos) usan JS, así que hay en internet un quintal de proyectos, experimentos y divertimentos con/de/contra/para JS. ¿Cuáles son las aplicaciones más perversas, los casos de uso más nicho, y las implementaciones más extravagantes de JS? Y, ¿qué se puede aprender de los trastornos y las obsesiones ajenas?
11. On profile pages, sometimes clicking the “collections” pseudo-tab “too early” does not work (it’s not a real link, stuff gets build client-side, and there’s a delay).

Clinical Psychological #Science, a week ago:
“There Is No Evidence That Associations Between Adolescents’ Digital #Technology Engagement and #MentalHealth Problems Have Increased”
I’d be curious to know what #JonathanHaidt thinks about that study.

Fellow #FLOSS lovers out there:
Is there a decent free #Android nowadays, with binaries available for a good range of devices?
In particular, I’m trying to revive an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T310
) that I had declared a lost cause already…
Thanks!
@freemo I sent you a DM on Apr 9. Did you see it? Nothing important/urgent — just to confirm my DMs reach you… Thanks!
