  I misread that bit by the QR code as “scam here.” Somehow I think that’s equally accurate.

  There should be laws against this everywhere (with other forms of data collection included). There’s no way preventing cheating is more important than the fundamental rights to security and privacy.

  And ask their opinion what to do?

  Usually, but I’m conscious of that and limit what they can get where I can for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was already blocking ads since long ago, so what really bugs me now is the heavily degraded and incredibly off-putting search results these days. (Fixed that godawful UI change right away too, and I’m just not over having to use an outside search engine for accurate results.)

  It doesn’t. Graeber was an anthropologist and Wengrow is an archaeologist. It’s a review of existing evidence from past civilizations (the diversity of which most people are hugely ignorant about), making the case the most common representations of “civilization” and “progress” are severely limited, probably to a detrimental extent since we often can only base our conceptions of what is possible based on what we know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem in the modern era is we can’t imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.

  When I did that work, they encouraged everyone to put people on hold when looking anything up because it reset your call timer and made the numbers look better.

  The image looks like our distant ancestor there is crawling in from another dimension, the way the water still encloses its body so high up… or at least like it portaled over from a deep ocean part of the ocean floor.

  The “desk” appears to be random limbs of other humans. Also, it looks like her game then is somehow taking place in a kitchen that’s on its side?

  Romaine says you’d better keep sewage runoff out of its water supply, if you know what’s good for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Went dark because capitalism⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m Gen X and not a fan of chat abbreviations but I was mostly just lost on “bussin’” (so I looked it up on Urban Dictionary). Not sure if “I vibe it” is like a form of “vibing” or more like “I’m feeling it” (or something else) though.

  I also thought they had the opportunity to draw two black lines in an X over the dead twitter logo bird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on how fast the teleport is, whether there’s a delay between uses and whether it causes significant fatigue or other side effects, I might take that. Other than that, it’s a toss-up for me between the extinct language and communicating with oysters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Aliens did a little trolling⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was once among a group of (fellow) university-educated expats, during a stint living abroad in the 2000s. While we were socializing, somebody asked everyone to say what group of people they would make disappear. (I can’t remember if it was kill/erase/nuke/remove from a map that was said, but something along those lines.) People’s answers that day (and their insistence that I, too, should “jokingly” hate some group of people and want them to die) taught me a lot. On top of that, I also am part of one of the groups that was named (no, I am not mixed race-- it was just ignorance the guy’s part).
