I cannot wait to see the look on these academics' faces when I show them how to use HYPERLINKS.
Still don't know precisely what IPFS is yet, but I have installed the desktop application and created a shortlink for my Library folder. https://bit.ly/dblibrary

But it definitely has! Now is such an odd time for the best desktop Twitter client I've ever seen to be available.

By that I mean... The goddamned Fleets thing...

Ex-Googler Meredith Whittaker on Political Power in Tech, the Flaws of 'The Social Dilemma,' and...
Notably missing from both the film and this interview: not only have these issues been discussed and researched for decades, now, but a biome of alternatives to EVERY SINGLE CRITICIZED COMPANY/SERVICE EXISTS and HAS EXISTED for years.
there is a search engine that is basically just Bing except most of the profit generated by the adtech goes to PLANTING TREES. (Ecosia) there are decentralized social networks (Mastodon, Diaspora) that often OUTPERFORM the proprietary big boys because they're still incentivized to craft the HIGHEST QUALITY experience rather than the most lucrative.
the only reason you haven't heard of them is that the Big Bad Monopolistic Incs OWN AND OPERATE the tools you'd normally rely on to search them out and Tech Journalism has literally moved in with the people they're needed to keep in check. (they all live in California)
it's ridiculous that we're still listening to the people who created the problem as they ruminate on solutions to the problem. (I would've just commented on Medium, but OneZero is paywalled so... sorry.)
and uh yeah... once again, I did my best to articulate these arguments and more in my most recent Post. https://bilge.world/the-social-dilemma
As I noted in Update Log, I just installed the most beta version of an in-development File Manager for Windows 10 and set my precious File Manager ‣ key to open a new window of it. I thought it was a good time to create a System Restore point. Also, it seems the groggy performance I have been experiencing over the past few days was indeed on Hildur, herself, and not a symptom of some network bullshit - I conceded and ran CCleaner's most End User default Make my pc better task and it seems to have resolved shit.
