My expectations for what I could use a phone (that I own) for were this low https://youtu.be/CB3zXRBSZ5s

I work in tech, and make a six-figure salary. I still can't pay for my own house here, or even anywhere closeby within reason. I could maybe barely afford a studio.
What I pay for on my room, in a shared-living situation with 3 other roommates, would effectively rent out a 4-bedroom house in the city I grew up in.

Replacement phone arrived in the mail, and woah man I can not only run apps but also do split screen on my phone!? #android
I'll need to get a case for this really fast, though 😅

My city redid the routes of its #publicTransit system. What was bad is now badder.

I updated my #aphorisms eBook (*Aphorisms for Either Idiots or Peasants*) after months of neglecting to push commits to it. 😅 I save aphorisms to Google Keep as I come up with them then occasionally push them out. https://leanpub.com/aphorisms-for-idiots-or-peasants

Friends, I've been reflecting on how my Californian/skaterboi-ness might play into some of my ways of thinking/behaving, and I'm curious: have you noticed anything in dealing with me that seems distinctly different about how I behave that you think is explained by my cultural perspective? Thanks! ☺️ #personal #culture

@bthall Violence vs Congresspeople appears to be on a sharp rise. I would wager that this was politically motivated. This is a signifier of violent social disunity and a breakdown in order.

I would rather have honest conversation with one or two people than algorithmically generated "engagement" content with a hundred people any day.

You're shown content that is designed to make you (personally) react and in so doing provide the network operators with more information about what consistently makes you react. Their algorithms learn more about how to control you with every click you make. The guy next door sees entirely different content based on what makes him react. Nowhere are you provided a choice in what you are shown. The network operators can use this information to sell you anything from toothpaste to presidents. Make no mistake, the algorithms know you better than your wife and children. They know exactly what you're going to do. Any illusion of choice is just that - an illusion. You're following the bread trail they designed and laid out for you.

On the free web we generally show you content that you have chosen to view. That's it. The algorithms are under your control and if you suspect otherwise, you are free dump that site or dump that piece of software and go elsewhere.

@mike Another reason to #POSSE (*P*ublish on your *O*wn *S*ite, *S*yndicate *E*lsewhere) if you use centralized #Lockiverse sites at all. ... whomever it is, Facebook, Twitter, GPlus, YouTube, LinkedIn, Xing, Ning, Instagram, they control whatever is displayed on their sites. If they (for any reason) decide to block access to or delete your content, you need to have trained your contacts to go to your own site to see it or they'll stop viewing / listening when $SITE closes your account.

@strypey @natecull @pnathan despite what I said, I also agree with you. Civilization has been a massive net benefit. Standardisation and also centralization have overall been massively beneficial to us, perhaps the most beneficial, next to taming game theoretical problems.
However I still think we must concern ourselves with fragility and remember that what makes us more efficient also makes us more fragile.
