@martijn I've just finished watching an anime film called My Oni Girl. It has this really important message: Listen to others, but respect your own feelings.
If A.I. is a tool that helps you, then go ahead. At the end of the day, it can be both good and bad. It just depends on who is using it.
My mental health thanks me for deleting my TikTok account. It's such a relief to get off that platform. Some good things, sure, but the bad ones were too much. Anyway, it's over. It's finally over. 🙌 ❤️
Someone tried breaking in this week. The fence door was broken by it. But didn't succeed for the rest luckily. The fence door is now repaired and reinforced
Last year, for the first time, 30% of electricity produced worldwide was from renewable sources. Wind and solar are growing. But notice that the biggest is hydroelectric, and it's going down! One reason is droughts in India, China, North America and Mexico. Climate change is causing droughts.
We're in a race against time. But at least we're running.
Extremists and a-holes use 《sheep》 as an insult. Yes, they do need guidance, as do we all, but the real evil lies in the wicked men who take advantage of them, of us. 🐑 ❤️
The Simpsons is a show that has remained relevant all these years thanks to its inclusion of issues that plague modern society. Episode 764 isn't going to be any different:

@martijn I live in a place where almost everyone has this weird concept that the grass is always greener on the other side. That makes no sense. There are problems all over the world.
I wanted to do the smart house thingy that I see everyone else do. My Internet connection is unstable, it turns out, so while trying to make my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I realised I couldn't turn on the lights.
Platforms decay. Tech bosses, unconstrained by competition; regulation; ad blockers and other adversarial interoperability; and their own workers, will inevitably hollow out their platforms, using ultraflexible digital technology to siphon value away from end users and business customers, leaving behind the bare minimum of value to keep all those users locked in:
@sabrinaweb71 It's not what I think. That's a fact. Women are constantly being monitored on Facebook, as was the case of a young woman whose not-so-private messages with her mother about an abortion clinic had been sent over to the Police.
If you're a woman, leave Facebook immediately. It's bad enough in the real world. Women have fewer rights today than ever before. At the very least avoid the same crap in the digital world.
