RE: https://infosec.exchange/@josephcox/117003493916808274
I often wonder when are we going to start openly asking the tough questions about the #Panopticon we current live in and why do we keep tolerating it.
I mean, watch this short video clip 👇🏻 (The entire episode is *totally* worth it!) and then ask yourself:
"How many times have I been recorded just today *without MY consent* for someone else's Socials bullsh*t?" 😤
It's just bonkers! 😡🤬

“We are interested in building alternative social infrastructure that allows us to be no longer reliant on Big Tech”👌🏻😍
“The new Luddites seek not to abandon technology entirely, but build new infrastructure that embraces proximity and in-person human relationships, instead of alienation and doom-scrolling” 👈🏻 My favourite quote from the entire article! It's pure 👨🏻🍳💋
Wearing my #Luddite badge with pride 🤘🏻😎

Here are some noteworthy quotes:
“[…] tech companies design AI tools and social media apps to make people dependent on them — making them feel helpless, alienated, and addicted to the endless scroll”
“Far from the distorted caricature of Luddites as curmudgeonly, puritanical tsk-tsk’ers, the new Luddites attract people to their movement through playfulness and participation” [1/2]

“You don’t need social media and extractive tech platforms to meet people and have fun” 👉🏻 https://www.404media.co/luddite-events-nyc-off-tech-summer-of-ludd/
I'm *definitely* going to save this one & share it every time people ask me why I'm aiming at #DigitalAutonomy & #DigitalSovereignty. Luddism is fun, don't walk away from it. Embrace it. Live it! 🤘🏻😎
“These companies want you to think that you’re dumb, but that is a lie. Everyone here is smart. Everyone here is creative”

Mamá,...habito en este preciso momento, la paradoja del no-estar. El mundo me exige eficiencia, mamá. Yo simplemente decido devolverle la afrenta cometiendo el subversivo acto de irme a dormir la siesta y privarlo así de mi supuesta productividad. #fuckthealgorithm , mamá.
Siesta o muerte!

You know what? Whenever people may ask me why I heart #Mastodon big time and why I'm no longer interested in traditional enshittified #SocialMedia tools, I'm going to start sharing this fabulous blog post by @timbray that pretty much nails it, as far as I am concerned.
In fact, for those folks who were using Twitter circa 2006 to 2010 it's a lovely trip down the memory lane of what #Web20 promised back then 👌🏻😎

Every time I get told off we are powerless towards the algorithms and traditional #SocialMedia tools taking over the Open Social Web as we know it, I take a minute, share golden gems like the one below and, all of a sudden, precious silence...
See? We *do* have a choice, we just need to exert it and enjoy the #SocialWeb as originally intended DECADES ago!
Well said, @hikingdude ! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Oooh, this is such an EXCELLENT piece of news! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 😍
How I wish the private sector would do pretty much the same thing! One can only wish & dream, right? 🤞🏻😅
Come on, (so-called) business leaders, what are you waiting for? Grow a spine & lead... PRONTO! 💪🏻😎

Oooh, this resource👇🏻 is going to be *incredibly* helpful whenever I may try to question / explain the uberisation of #GenAI coming soon to an org. near you! 😜
We've been here before, haven't we?, and we don't seem to have learned much from previous mistakes with other tech hype cycles, specially, when you connect the dots with trends like this one I shared a while ago 😔👉🏻 https://mastodon.social/@elsua54/116482791455221637

Oooh, I think I'm going to add this toot 👉🏻 https://mastodon.social/@koen_hufkens/116623232837449069 to this thread and see how many more #GenAI vendors come forward admitting to the world (and their own customers! )what we all knew a while ago.
Looks like the mask(s) are *finally* coming off and about time, too! 😜👍🏻

Hummm ... I guess I haven't missed much since I deleted my #LinkedIn account back in mid-December last year ... As per 😈👇🏻

"Confused, dependent users are more profitable than competent, autonomous ones. Lock-in is more valuable than interoperability. Opacity is more valuable than transparency. The architecture of modern consumer technology has been optimized against user competence with extraordinary success"

"The algorithm situation is the one that most directly affects daily life and receives the least serious scrutiny. […] These systems are explicitly not neutral — they’re optimized for engagement, which empirically correlates with outrage, anxiety, conflict, and tribal reinforcement, because those emotional states produce the behavioral signals the engagement metrics reward" [1/2]

"The problem is not, primarily, that services collect data. The problem is that users have been convinced to treat pervasive surveillance infrastructure as benign or beneficial, and to respond to any criticism of it as paranoia, technical elitism, or failure to appreciate convenience. The learned helplessness is the crisis. The data collection is the symptom" [1/2]

Going to take the liberty of adding a few noteworthy quotes below to remind me as to why I am here (#Mastodon) nowadays 😅👇🏻
"This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos"

"The obituary for the power user is being written right now. The people writing it are the same ones who sold you the phone, designed the app store, wrote the terms of service you didn’t read, and built the algorithm that decided you didn’t need to see this" 🤯😤
"The Slow Death of the Power User" 👉🏻 https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/the-slow-death-of-the-power-user/
A superb essay, poignant as hell. I can relate, I used to be one of those folks up to about a decade ago 😱😢

"Drawing on models from reinforcement learning, behavioral psychology, and sociology, it is argued that infinite scrolling not only shapes users' attention and time perception, but also exerts a corrosive effect on sociability. It replaces deep, sustained interpersonal relations with fragmented, ephemeral interactions, mediated by algorithmic infrastructures optimized for retention rather than human connection".

I guess the payslip is *really good*, because otherwise I can't understand why people would keep working for such a firm under such atrocious, demeaning and disgusting circumstances thinking it's ok.
Where are the dignity and the integrity of respecting one's privacy as an employee by an employer?👇🏻🤮

RE: https://toot.cafe/@baldur/116532762431065583
You know what? The irony is not lost on me that we know *exactly* what's wrong with all of those #MediaTools that we coin new terms / concepts to describe them while we still make heavy use of them ... because of ... "engagement" 🤢
Walk the talk, people! If you'd want to persuade / influence others about your own ideas, I'd appreciate leading by example. Stop justifying your own use of such toxic tools! 😤
Pretty please? 🙏🏻😊

This is such a good, important article - absolutely spot on in so many ways.
“The Technology That Actually Runs Our World
The most dominant algorithms aren’t the ones choosing what songs Spotify serves you.”
“Maybe the most worrying thing about algorithms is that they give institutional actors a degree of plausible deniability.”
…
“When artists argue that their song didn’t catch a tailwind from the right keywords, or that their book isn’t selling well because it didn’t reach the right influencers, what they’re really doing is expressing fear that there is no room for artists to exist anymore.”
…
“Some technologies really are eroding the viability of public pursuits, and perhaps enjoying or criticizing cultural works based on their merits could help us focus our attention a bit.” -
I watched one video about Karen Carpenter and now YouTube thinks I am Karen Carpenter's number one fan and can't get enough of Karen Carpenter. #FuckTheAlgorithm.

NPR: How social media algorithms 'flatten' our culture by making decisions for us

This video is fantastic. The creator manages to express much of what I’ve been thinking (I may have punched the air when he gets to The Intent), except in a coherent way.
A bunch of references to the #Demoscene , which really encapsulates why I’ve loved the scene all these years.
And yes, #fuckthealgorithm . https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@grumpygamer/110209233438907534

"New ideas seem risky, confusing, even stupid, and we're now beholden to the algorithm to decide if they make sense and should be added to the great palace of human thought."

Me he liado la manta a la cabeza y he pasado las suscripciones de YouTube que realmente me interesan al gestor de RSS.
Lo estoy haciendo con RSS Bridge (hosteado en mi servidor), lo agrego en Miniflux y este último lo sincronizo con Reeder #FuckTheAlgorithm
