@GwenfarsGarden Oh brilliant, thank you!

I think maybe some people feel scared or intimidated by these things, because people don't like change. So many people out there act as if the things they learned in middle school are everything they ever need to learn, and the world is no more complicated than that. It's sad that society cultivates this kind of thinking, IMO. The mindset that you can always know more and everything is more complicated than you realise is far more interesting IMO!

Its important to remember that the rightwing and the centrist are the extremists and the leftwing are the moderates.

Please don’t believe the bullshit that Elon Musk and his weird cult want you to believe. Mars isn’t a viable habitat for humans.

The lack of a magnetosphere that deflects deadly cosmic radiation is something that, with anything that’s currently available or even remotely on the horizon for the next few hundred years, can not be solved.

Sad that so many people are more upset about the possibility of being called racist, than they are about actual racism.

Head of national radio Radio France's new year speech was stopped by the "Chorus of the slaves", turned more and more into a hymn to freedom. Radio France has been on strike for 36 days, protesting the loss of 299 jobs to save 60 millions. Goosebumps.

1990s: "man, kids these days with their bad pop stars, parents just can't compete with that kind of influence"

2010s: "man, our parents with their antivaxxer and anti-immigrant facebook pages, we just can't compete with that"

@Antanicus It's worth elaborating that the overwhelming majority of arable land on earth isn't even used to grow human food directly. Instead, it's used to grow animal feed, i.e. to produce meat, which is an *incredibly* inefficient way to utilize that land.

Even if we only used parts of all that land to produce human food directly, distribute it fairly, and re-naturalize the rest, we could still easily increase global food production by multiple 100%s with much less overall harm to the planet.

"A distinction must be made between advertising and "adtech" - digital analysis and advertising software. Traditional advertising was about building a brand. It used to be like this: if you read a newspaper, the newspaper didn't read you either. If you watched TV, the TV didn't see you either. The Internet has changed that. If you watch a video on Youtube today, Youtube will be watching you. Surveillance is at the heart of the business model. I call it "people farming"." - @aral

This is a friendly reminder that when two people on the fediverse have a disagreement, you don't *have* to express your opinion about it in their mentions, use the opportunity to make a loosely-related political point, or join a spiralling public drama about it.

It can be hard to break the habits we formed on platforms where techbros have monetised our negative emotions, divisions, and innate desire to belong. But your activist energy can be better directed, and your mental health will benefit.

My comment 📝: Tiktok is breaking the law in multiple ways while exploiting mainly teenagers data. This should be regulated quick and rigorous. We have all necessary laws. Don't let them break society like 10 years of FB. Journalists should find a better place for vertical video.

There are many other breaches e.g. Google Analytics is used without anonymizing the IP data. And they use free software without proper license, for example Zepto.js from Thomas Fuchs, Murmur Hash from Austin Appleby and FingerprintJS from Valentin Vasilyev. How low can you go?

It's very interesting to observe that mainstream media talks about describing it as a monholithic social platform.

They don't get the fact that in reality Mastodon is the sum of thousands independent social networks (the Instances) connected together and not a single, centralized platform with one unique identity.

Twitter and Facebook are giant Malls, each one with his own chairman, rules and style.

Mastodon instead is more like a network of independently run places, each one with his own identity, culture and chairmans, that collaborate together.
