*sniffs, tugs at shirt* You know, the true perversity of Evangelion is not the obvious Freudian symbology -- the mother in the robot, the father who abandons, and so on and so on -- but rather how it stages the fundamental deadlock of the otaku subject under late capitalism.

*gestures wildly* Here you have Shinji, the perfect neoliberal subject: he doesn't want to pilot the Eva, he hates it, but he does it anyway! Why? Because of some abstract duty? No! Because he has already internalized the superego injunction to enjoy his own exploitation. "I mustn't run away" - this is not courage, this is the purest ideology!

*touches nose* But the real obscenity -- and here Anno is a true genius, whether he knows it or not -- is how the series presents instrumentalisation itself as traumatic. NERV literally dissolves the boundary between human and machine, mother and weapon, and what do we get? Not liberation but pure anxiety! The EVA units are the perfect metaphor for our digital predicament: we are told these technologies will extend our capabilities, make us posthuman, but instead we discover *laughs darkly* that we were always already instruments!

Gendo's Human Instrumentality Project is just making explicit what capitalism already does: reducing humans to pure exchangeable substance, orange goo, the ultimate liquidity!

*sniff* And the masterstroke is the ending - not the false happy ending of End of Evangelion, but the original episodes 25 and 26, where the budget runs out and we get pure interiority. *waves hands* "Congratulations!" they all say to Shinji. But for what? For accepting his place in the symbolic order? This is the ultimate perversity: the show literally cannot afford to show the apocalypse, so instead it stages the real catastrophe - the subject accepting his own subjection as liberation! The production committee pulls the funding, and Anno turns this material limitation into the perfect metaphor for ideological closure!

*adjusts shirt violently* You know what nobody wants to admit? Evangelion is not about robots or aliens or whatever -- it's about the impossibility of authentic action under capitalism. Every character is trapped in their own repetition compulsion: Misato drinks, Asuka performs superiority, Rei submits to erasure; and the Angels? The Angels are just the return of the repressed, the stupid insistence of the Real that says: your little techno-military complex cannot contain the trauma of existence!

*sniff* And so on, and so on...

It's hilariously wild to me how much more reach my Pixelfed posts have over Instagram.

I just started a new Instagram (for work, I have Meta, but you need it to reach out to influencers and stuff), and there are three likes on about 40 photos.

I just uploaded two new photos to my Pixelfed, and BAM, likes are FLOODING IN because I use the proper hashtags.

IG is straight-up garbage for creatives and photographers.

Ok, ho pubblicato il mio giochetto (il secondo progetto della mia vita ed il primo terminato) per la "LÖVE Jam 2025 [B-SIDE]".

Lo trovate qui: mrnetwork.itch.io/space-bricks

Fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate! Senza remore!

PS: so che è semplice e banale, ma essendo il mio secondo progetto mi sento orgoglioso di quello che ho realizzato 😊

Ultimate entrepreneurial success metric: becoming wealthy enough that LinkedIn profile updates become unnecessary.

Current reality: updating LinkedIn status every time follower count increases by three people.

The aspiration remains distant but motivating. Professional social media obligations persist regardless of financial status.

BIG MILESTONE! 🎉

We’ve just crossed 100 posts on !videogames@piefed.social.

After a week of building and curating, the community already has 58 subscribers—and it’s only getting started.

I’ve been thinking hard about the kind of place I want this to be. The vision comes down to three things:

1. Real conversations about games
2. Minimal memes
3. Zero outrage culture

I want this community to be about joy—a space for people who actually play video games to share what excites them. Not a dumping ground for culture wars. Not another echo chamber for Gamergate-era nonsense.

Games are for everyone. And everyone should feel comfortable digging deep here. Talk about an obscure Japanese console. Explore weird European PCs. Or break down the craft behind how a game actually got made. That’s the stuff I want to see flourish.

Here’s to the next 100 posts—and beyond. Come join in:

Où on apprend également que le volet technique a été en partie réalisé par l'équipe de Nota Bene qui va devoir s'expliquer parce qu'il était plutôt réglo jusque là.

(D'ailleurs si des gens ont Bluesky et se sentent d'interpeller le "camarade" vidéaste, je suis curieux de sa réponse...)

European Union regulators have hit Google with a €2.95bn ($3.5bn) fine for breaching the bloc’s competition rules by favouring its own digital advertising services.

Also: "Any person or company affected by anti-competitive behaviour as described in this case may bring the matter before the courts of the Member States and seek damages."

🤓 Anthropic recently release a threat report that shows how threat actors are using their model Claude. Here are some of the highlights:

・ Vibe hacking: Criminals are using Claude Code to perform real intrusions, doing reconnaissance, extortion, at a scale that one human alone could not reach

・ Remote worker fraud: North Korean IT workers are simulating professional competence through AI at Fortune 500 companies

・ No-code malware: Threat actors with little technical skill are generating ransomware-as-a-service packages with evasion techniques and selling them for about $400

・ Fraud at scale: Carding stores, romance scams and synthetic identities, AI is embedded across the fraud supply chain and make it even more easy for them

I think it is interesting to see how threat actors are leveraging AI as those patterns are the ones you may want to detect in your future AI systems.
