I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable
A friend messaged me the other day. I saw it. I didn’t reply. A week later, I finally responded with the classic: Sorry for the late reply, just got to this.She called me out. You didn’t just get to this, she said. I saw the double ticks.
Damn. She was right. I’d opened it. I’d registered it. But I’d also shelved it. It needed a proper reply, and at that moment, I wasn’t equipped.
Maybe it got lost between revisiting pictures from 2016 and the reminder I set to cancel my Nibble app 7-day trial on day 6. Maybe I got a call? Perhaps I’d wanted to sink back into that Substack article about reclaiming attention, ironically while still on social media. Maybe I was working one of the four jobs I need to survive under capitalism’s boot heel. Maybe I was doing nothing?
Does free time now equal availability?
I get a ping from the family group chat, which doubles as an IT helpdesk for my mum. My best friend just FaceTimed me about a White Lotus episode, and another left a voice note crying about a possible diagnosis. All this, lodged between videos of cats and genocide.
The boundaries between reception and response have collapsed.
I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable

Social media can support or undermine democracy — it comes down to how it’s designed
Every design choice that social media platforms make nudges users toward certain actions, values, and emotional states.It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with conspiracy blogs — interspersed with photos of a family picnic — with no distinction between these very different types of information. It is a design choice to use algorithms that find the most emotional or outrageous content to show users, hoping it keeps them online. And it is a design choice to send bright red notifications, keeping people in a state of expectation for the next photo or juicy piece of gossip.
Platform design is a silent pilot steering human behavior.
Social media platforms are bringing massive changes to how people get their news and how they communicate and behave. For example, the “endless scroll” is a design feature that aims to keep users scrolling and never reaching the bottom of a page where they might decide to pause.
I’m a political scientist who researches aspects of technology that support democracy and social cohesion, and I’ve observed how the design of social media platforms affects them.
Democracy is in crisis globally, and technology is playing a role. Most large platforms optimize their designs for profit, not community or democracy. Increasingly, Big Tech is siding with autocrats, and the platforms’ designs help keep society under control.
There are alternatives, however. Some companies design online platforms to defend democratic values.

È la decima volta (per arrotondare) che mi segnala un problema ogni volta che modifico del testo in una casella (su caratteri differenti eh).
Per modificare una riga sto combattendo da 10 minuti. "Si è verificato un problema, riprovare più tardi." e sotto il tasto aggiorna.
Non lo uso mai fortunatamente, torno dopo anni per colpa di altrз, e noto le stesse puttanate di sempre e poi mi viene in mente chi mi dice "no, ma office 365 è il migliore, come si fa senza?"
Sarà... io senza lavoro benissimo.
Torno su OnlyOffice, dove l'ho fatta tutta senza un cazzo di problema, e poi la carico e la invio da lì.

Wenn das Artensterben hingegen so verläuft, daß man als große Landwirbeltierart noch irgendwie durchkommt, aber das Klima trotzdem kippt, dann wird es halt nicht mehr viele Menschen auf dem Planeten geben und nur noch simple Postkollapsstämme, aber keine komplexen Zivilisationen mehr.

The image is a diagram illustrating the water cycle and its interaction with urban and natural environments. It features a central arrow labeled "Evaporation" pointing upwards, with a fun fact stating that a tree can absorb water at the same rate as a cup of coffee per second. The diagram shows various pathways for water movement, including evaporation, infiltration, surface runoff, and discharge.
The diagram includes images of different surfaces, such as roads, green spaces, and rivers, to represent surface permeability. It also highlights the impact of external factors like climate change on the water cycle. The diagram shows how water can either infiltrate the ground or become surface runoff, leading to potential flooding if the difference in flow rate is greater than zero.
The diagram also includes a section on man-made drainage infrastructure, with arrows indicating water discharge via pump or gravity. The bottom right corner features a bar graph, possibly representing water levels or flow rates, and a globe icon, emphasizing the global context of the water cycle.

Pixel Tablet is a 7th generation Pixel launched in June 2023. 6th/7th gen Pixels had 5 years of support instead of 7 years of support like 8th/9th gen Pixels, so it has 3 years of support remaining.
Since it's a 7th gen Pixel, it's still ARMv8.2 without later ARM security features we consider important enough to make into hard requirements for new devices: PAC, BTI and MTE.
If you didn't have a Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold would be an option for a regular phone + small tablet.

"TikTok is preparing to launch a standalone app for U.S. users that is expected to operate on a separate algorithm and data system from its global app, laying the groundwork for a potential sale orchestrated by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.
Over the past several months, TikTok employees have been working under tight deadlines to build a new, U.S.-specific version of TikTok by transferring and duplicating the application's codebase — including AI models, algorithms, features, and user data — from the global platform, current employees at the company told Reuters, who requested anonymity while discussing private matters.
The move could open the door to resolving years of debate over whether the company would share what is considered the crown jewel of the ByteDance-owned short video-sharing platform- the recommendation algorithm powering the Chinese-owned platform, which has been at the center of the U.S.-China technology standoff."
