Gal Gadot. Though it would be a stretch to call her an actress. Even the most untalented coat stand can act better than her.

At least you have a guard who pays attention!

I mean... they did tell the truth, didn't they? When I think of Windows 11, terms like operating wouldn't be on my list...

So instead of three simple mouse clicks I'm supposed to say "Open mixer channel 34, then open the second insert plugin, select the unlabeled potentiometer that is located in the second row and kind-of third column, then turn it to 30 %, wait, no, not the amp potentiometer, the unlabeled one in the second row and kind-of third column, no, the one to the left of the current one, no, not this one, not this one, not this one..."

A little bit like early graphic programs where you had to type in coordinates and color values but way slower, unprecise and totally unreliable. Sounds fun, I bet this new Windows will be loved by all musicians and audio engineers and graphic designers and video editors - if they even manage to log into their Microsoft account while suffering from a common cold ("Log me [cough] in with Boat[cough]y[cough]McBoat[cough]face[cough]42!"). Looks like the guys at Microsoft had their final dose of sodium bromide.

Gonna join them and deport myself to a better country. Modern problems require modern solutions.

But who writes those algorithms and AIs? And why? And why do they work?

...yet.

All those platforms work the same way. In the end it's all about the same social dynamics, about control. "We are the alternative to all the shitty peer groups out there! Join us!" is one of the oldest tricks in the playbook. There is no alternative. Because it's all based on human nature.

Every problem is an opportunity to earn even more money or gain even more power. Bad for average users, great for those who own and control the platform.

Cardboard is a good insulator, it absorbs moisture and its smell is likely to be instinctively associated with safety. Cardboard->wood->trees, a good place to take a nap without getting disturbed. And I bet that paper shares some qualities with leaves too, it sounds and feels similar when walking over it. She knows what's good!

Fixing social media is like fixing guns so they can't hurt or kill anyone anymore. Both have been designed for a very particular purpose.

Correct.

Splendid!

I mean... it's a nice distraction from what's going on here in Europe. Sort of escapism if you want.

Love is a parasite. I knew it!

Just let the rock eaters eat their rocks.

And that's just the beginning. The next step is making them disappear from all official statistics.

Do I?
