"... I used to study medicine, I was training to be a doctor. But I couldn't actually afford my rent because it was London, so I had to work in marketing on the side. Then I started to really get into marketing to the point where I actually left medicine ..."

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

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.

> antipub.org/ got so far the city of Grenoble banned billboards

Great start. I saw a documentary featuring a city in Brazil whose radical mayor banned all outdoor advertising. It might have been in The Corporation (2003)?

I’ve read studies that claimed to show that, in contrast to the electrification of the early 20th century, the rise of the internet has done nothing for overall productivity (much as I hate that word)
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 revere the Guardian, which covers the political scene with vastly more integrity than the New York Times and other major US outlets. But like every other Big Journalism organization, it misuses the word "conservative" to describe extremism. Example:

in reply to Dan Gillmor

The Guarniad is also at the forefront of the rightwing attack on Trans people too, don't forget.
in reply to Dan Gillmor

The singular motivation that underpins all of conservative ideology is SELF: what's in this for me, what can I get out of it?

That sounds pretty extreme, if you ask me.

VIVIZ -- Umji

It becomes more and more difficult to believe that this glamorous young woman was once mocked by "fans" for supposedly not being pretty.

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?

The Bulgarian government on Thursday flip-flopped on allegations that Russia jammed GPS signals to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s plane — and then flip-flopped again.

It is leaving officials in Brussels in a bind as to what really happened.

„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.

French President Emmanuel Macron said 26 countries are prepared to contribute to guarantees, including troops. US support for the measures will be finalized in the coming days, according to France’s leader, though the White House didn’t comment.

in reply to Hanse Mina

Uh, there’s a war going on. In Europe. Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine.

European leaders should be discussing which countries will manufacture which weapons systems, which ammunition stocks, which training facilities, etc.

All this talk of guarantees only serves Russia’s interests. When Russia is defeated, then sorting who will perform which mission will be useful. Only after Russia leaves Ukraine.
