@lostnbronx Agree and agree. I was asking because it usually only takes a short while before people start making something like that. At least, they used to.
Is there a Unixporn-style Mastodon account or tag for sharing Linux screens and setups? Interested, but do not want to follow a million billion accounts.
@theru@pokey In a recent BBC question about advice on how to spend more responsibly, I wrote:
"Buy seriously good coffee. For the house, that is - if you have very good coffee at home, you will be much less inclined to buy the REALLY expensive stuff from cafes. If you buy cheap, the austerity feeling will frustrate, if you buy good, you will save with a feeling of personal luxury."
"In perhaps the creepiest example, Facebook applied for (and received, last year) a patent for a tool called Techniques, for emotion detection and content delivery. It would use the camera in your phone to take pictures of you as you scroll through content. Facebook would then use facial analysis to measure how much you did or did not like the content in question, so as to determine what kind of stuff to send your way."
I am going to do some software translation, but the strings are in a couple of long one-line JSON files. Do we know any tools that will parse a file like that as a translation UI? I used to use poEdit for the .po files, but I don't know if it is any good for what I am working on now
"The modern digital economy is largely set up around surveillance capitalism and user lock-in." #quotehttps://opkode.com/blog/slacks-bait-and-switch/ - never heard the phrase 'surveillance capitalism', that's pretty good.
So much of the dysfunctions I saw in this World come from that "myth of growth" being so pervasive even in the most thoughtful minds.
When something is working well, gets attention & credit, everyone usually ask themselves how to make it *bigger* and this is when things start to work not so well anymore.. (more inertia, need for communication, more opinions to compose with etc.)
Instead of growth, let's value emulation, inspiration, replication, distribution <3
