This is why I opted for a lemmygrad account for the long run.
Any instances banning lemmygrad are not worthy to read my shitty hot takes. And I don’t want to spend my time with them, anyway.
I think it all becomes muscle memory and people figure it out. The overstreamlining required by western users also speak about their understanding of systems. People in the west are apparently - educated to be afraid of complexity and problems.
I think super apps fill an “infrastructure” role in the app ecosystem. Almost like an OS, but collective. And as long as other people can hop into the ecosystem and participate, I can see the value. But it makes sense that the natural monopolies as messages and banking and marketplace become a single thing. Therefore, complex.
But I still like the unix motto, about doing one thing well. I wonder how extensible these designs and applications are for smaller teams working on single functionalities.
Looks confusing.
It’s horrible how anything recognisable we build gets coopted. :/
So… There’s 2 PCVs?
But that’s weaponised religion, just like the crusades. It uses people’s belief system to exploit them.
Religion is a means, not an end. It can be used for extreme feats of generosity, or resistance, for example. And it can be used to oppress and empoverish.
How it’s used depends exclusively on material conditions for whom is in control of what the belief system is used for, for which there’s extreme variety from the micro to the macro scale.

We’re not advocating violence. Your premise is wrong.
But we know our adversaries commonly use violence, so we’re aware it exists, and we know we have to prepare for it.
Are colonialist governments not violent? How do you remove from office a government that commits violence against their people, en masse, to destroy their land with mining operations?
Concrete example: how would the Congolese vote the French out, when anyone organising peacefully against the French is assassinated?
The point is not violence. But it would be naive to ignore the violence of our adversaries.
They’re even more amazed to see non white people. Even more so on smaller non touristic places.
It’s not about race, it’s about novelty and curiosity.
I felt like a rockstar, kids highfiving me and the elderly asking to take pictures with me and my partner.
What is FYP?
Dude. Fucking buttons. We’re so amazing!
I had a low end Samsung like this and I miss it so much.
I’ve uploaded a few read by tts at https://pca.st/podcast/3af50c70-30cd-013c-f68a-0acc26574db2
Not too proud of it, but might still be useful.
There’s also audioteca critica, with actual people reading the books, https://pca.st/podcast/5a409f90-829a-013a-d7e9-0acc26574db2, in Brazilian Portuguese.
Class consciousness.
So then we stop fighting each other for peanuts and look at who gets to benefit from our generalised political apathy.
Learn meditation and deep relaxation?
Learning how to shut down your brain and body is ridiculously useful.
Something like https://youtu.be/lu_cLaBTXio, with a guide that makes you comfortable. Eventually you figure out the process and become able to shutdown by yourself.
I dislike the urgency thing. “4 more people looking at this, only 1 spot left”.
I also hate when it when the ads follow me around every social media platform.
That’s why I love it here. Thank you lemmy.
That image reminds me of the Botez gambit.
Have you met lemmygrad.ml?

This looks like a troll account? I kind of want to engage, but it looks like I’ll be losing time.
