  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Differences between nations, so long as they do not lead to hostility, are by no means to be deplored. Living for a time in a foreign country makes us aware of merits in which our own country is deficient, and this is true whichever country our own may be. The same thing holds of differences between different regions within one country, and of the differing types produced by different professions. Uniformity of character and uniformity of culture are to be regretted. Biological evolution has depended upon inborn differences between individuals or tribes, and cultural evolution depends upon acquired differences. When these disappear, there is no longer any material for selection. In the modern world, there is a real danger of too great similarity between one region and another in cultural respects. One of the best ways of minimising this evil is an increase in the autonomy of different groups.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Lecture (1949-01-23), “Control and Initiative: Their Respective Spheres,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 5, BBC Radio

  11. ...dislodging the ball from the most tricky places ever, mulling over the placement and probabilistic interaction of bumpers to hopefully achieve a better output, while losing the skill to roll yourself. Have fun aligning humans and agents with products and the overall organisation, while keeping the economic and systemic perspective in your view.

    "Fun" times trying to bring the Engineering to #AgenticSoftwareEngineering and anything resembling #sustainability, #autonomy or #GreenComputing.

  19. The Quiet Rebellion

    What does freedom mean to you? What Freedom Means | ERIC.FOLTIN /LOGS/FREEDOM.EXE What Does Freedom Mean To You? Posted by Eric | May 11, 2026 Freedom used to mean fireworks and flags when I was a kid. Cheap lawn chairs. Burnt hotdogs. Somebody's uncle yelling about taxes like he personally fought in every war since 1776. Humanity really turned patriotism into a side quest for propane grills […]

  20. Real resistance isn't a hashtag or a protest slogan - it's the daily discipline of thinking for yourself when every algorithm and institution wants to think for you. True freedom begins when you stop performing defiance and start unlearning obedience. #resistance #criticalthinking #autonomy

  21. Magic Tricks 🧙‍♂️✨

    👋Hi, ArcaneChat magician here 🧙‍♂️ this is the section where I teach you some magic tricks to help you get the full potential out of ArcaneChat

    In today's lesson we will be looking at the image editor of ArcaneChat:

    when you attach an image, before sending it you could click in the pencil ✏️ icon to edit it, here you have all kind of cool tricks, from drawing to blurring a part of the picture, ex. to protect some faces

    you can also put some text, what not many think of is that using the text option you can also enter arbitrary emoji, and then using two fingers to pan you can make it bigger or rotate it and put it the way you like, this gives you a lot of gadgets to add to make your images more fun

    if you have kids in the family using the app they will love it, together with the drawing brush it is also a source of entertainment for small kids! (this was tested already! just a small advice: better do it in a dedicated profile or they might accidentally mess up your chats or send stuff to your contacts!)

    And that is all for today 🧙‍♂️✨

  23. A friendly guide to red flags 🟥

    if an app takes all your chats captive,
    preventing you from accessing the chat list and forcing you to update,
    without considering any life situation you might be right in that moment,
    and even while you are offline you can't access any of your important conversations and notes to self...

    🚨 maybe you are in the wrong place ❗

  24. You know when a person who has had difficult relationships tells my partner that our relationship style (which is a poly throuple) will fail because no member of our poly has #Autonomy , means the relationship is doomed to fail, can someone:

    1. explain to me why this bothers me?
    2. explain to me why this is right or wrong?
