Weeding out my contacts
I'm cleaning up my list of contacts here, I'm getting more and more irritated by people who only post screenshots.
@Robert Reich was the first to go, for posting only #screenshots of his messages on #BlueSky, without even adding #alttext.
Not sure why people do that, but I'm not having it anymore.

The US is to phase out security assistance programmes for European armies along Russia’s border, as it pushes the continent to pay for more of its own defence.

His job could have been saving people's lives, but instead it's persuading them they want stuff. That's heartbreaking.

The Fold: Myths and truths in modern advertising
System1’s Andrew Tindall on the story their research tells.The Spinoff
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I agree with Adbusters. Not only are reputation laundering jobs like "marketing", "advertising" and "PR" a waste of creative talent, they're all forms of psychological-abuse-as-a-service.
Their job is manipulating people's thinking in the interests of a third party, which is a form of abuse.
Imagine if all the money spent on laundering an organisation's reputation was instead used to improve the UX of their services. Especially public services.

My hypothesis is that the internet reduced the cost of marketing to almost nothing, so it becomes much much more profitable to spend a little effort on a crap product then market the shit out of it.
The talent of a generation, wasted on marketing 🙁

I Took 35 Stunning Wildlife Photos Just Two Kilometers From Home
Most wildlife photographers travel across continents, chasing lions in Africa, tigers in India, or bears in Alaska. But I never have.Goran Anastasovski (Bored Panda)
The image features a woman posing against a solid blue background. She is wearing a black, sleeveless top with a fitted design and a cut-out detail at the waist, paired with black pants. Her long, dark hair cascades down her back, and she is accessorized with a silver bracelet on her right wrist and a pair of dangling earrings. Her left hand is raised to her face, with her fingers slightly curled, as if she is blowing a kiss. The woman's pose is confident, with her right hand on her hip, accentuating her silhouette. The overall composition is simple, with the subject centered against the vibrant blue backdrop, creating a striking contrast.

Fediverse profiles need a bloviation-meter.
Perhaps a little gauge indicating(should I choose to follow someone) what level of posts & boosts I might expect from them. What are their max posts/boots per hour and day? How often has that been sustained, etc?
Am I sticking my face in a drinking fountain or firehose?

„Wir landen jetzt im digitalen Gefängnis“ - Punkt.PRERADOVIC mit Tom-Oliver Regenauer
Unter dem Vorwand „Kinderschutz“ im Netz soll die Altersverifizierung samt digitaler Identität, der e-ID, im Internet kommen. Keine Anonymität mehr, Daten abrufbar für Tec-Konzerne und Behörden. Der Plan wird gerade weltweit ausgerollt. Autor Tom-Oliver Regenauer ist überzeugt: „Das wird das digitale Gefängnis. Das freie Internet ist dann tot“. Wie das bei uns aussehen werde, sei jetzt schon in anderen Ländern wie Großbritannien oder Australien sichtbar. Der Bürger als rechteloser Spielball einer neuen Technokratie? „Ja“, sagt Regenauer und belegt außerdem anhand von Studien, dass die bequeme Nutzung von KI doof macht.
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr meine unabhängige journalistische Arbeit unterstützt, damit ich auch in Zukunft weitermachen kann. Vielen Dank! Ich möchte mich auch ganz herzlich bei allen bedanken, die mich bereits unterstützen.

Alright #RPGDesign nerds, let's get into some real nitty gritty! Let's talk about some different ways of looking how mechanics are built, in a sense more finely defining crunch and genre emulation. What are your thoughts on this?

After this week there’s no uncertainty: The U.S. has fallen under fascist rule.
