@futurebird I frequently talk about this as search abandoning the concept of delivering what the user wants in favor of trying to mold the user to want what it's willing to give.

Queer rights: climaxed
Human rights: soon over

Crucial Track for November 24, 2025
"Buck Rogers" by Feeder
The proletariat is simultaneously judged as being frivolous spenders (ie chase bank: "can't save money? Have you tried cutting on overpriced coffee?") but also when we *do* save money by not buying a new phone for a decade, then we're boomer luddites about to crash the tech economy.

If you would like to support me until I can be out & find a job to help my family, here’s the donation link. (The donations for the shelter rent, & the costs of food, drink, & clothes)
Me explaining to my colleague what [insert any open source project, but today it was #Proxmox] is and how it works.
Colleague: "and people just.. built *this*? On their own? For free?? I don't even know how a toaster works."
Glad I'm not the only one.
Today:
- I went to the Seniors Climate Action Network for a very interesting talk about being tangata Tiriti
- I met up with several friends there and it struck me what good people those friends are, partly because they were all wearing masks!
- I had a good baking session

Hello everyone,
I am sharing with you the books that my sister, @Nourfuturedr, spent two years studying in order to achieve her dream of becoming a doctor.
I started pushing her campaign after my mother and I made the decision to save significantly on our food and drink expenses.
This is so we can afford to cover her registration fees for the first semester of medical school.
If you support Noor's journey, please donate.
