@enkiv2 @feoh Life is an interaction between us and the world. Nothing is permanent and nothing is ours forever. This is not limited to IT or business.

You can either let go of the need for full control or end up holed up in your own private compound at war with the world.

This is the slippery slope to the dark side.

it sometimes feels like black mirror is trying to “say what everyone is already thinking” but the trouble then is that i’m exhausted of thinking it already. “phones bad” “capitalism bad” “computer bad” yawn yawn yawn

i want stories and art that not only confront that intersection of late capitalism and ecodoom, but that take the structural critique as pretense to explore how to do right by each other amid the bleakness, as individuals and communities.

i like watching black mirror. it’s like reading a barometer.

black mirror struggles to articulate a structural critique of modernity and so instead is left with “what if” scenarios that have generally already happened, that happen in isolated fragments of modernity.

it strikes me that climate change is not a constant companion of these stories. episodes rarely deal with the climate at all; it’s a separate “what if” entirely.

yknow all those poor souls who start using #Linux and then an update fucks everything up on their freshly installed Ubuntu and they have no idea what to do?
well, consider this: functional distros like #GuixSD where you can roll back upgrades _could_ be more beginner friendly

Red counters on notifications are specificially designed by social media "engagement experts" to be anxiety-inducing.

We need a color which is like "you have a notification, but don't worry about it, you can see it when you feel like it".

I like how #Pinafore did it. In fact, there's a lot to learn from Pinafore on ethical design.

Ethical tech should let people use it with intentionality and purpose unlike the manipulative tactics of surveillance capitalist tech.
