The reason why we only find such useless websites is the same reason why #AI is helpful: technical marketing like #SEO generates more dangerous #slop then AI.

#Capitalism eats it's own childs.



When I lived in #London in the mid noughties I first became aware that the tubes operated in temperatures above the legal limit for cattle with no upper limit on number of people per carriage…just one of the reasons I don’t miss living there.

What you loathe but ultimately tolerate in your 20’s now seems life threatening.

#Capitalism is what led us to this very dark hot hell hole.

What are the statistics for passing out and heart attacks on tubes this summer?

With the tax reform, I have given the money to the rich, so there is no money left for social benefits. Please think for yourself! If there was more money, I could have given even more money to the rich. Sometimes the American people are just too stupid for simple logic! 🤦‍♂️

The equation gets even more impossible, when factoring in other countries' contributions to this ongoing collapse - especially Western #Capitalism.

Yes, too much really is too much.

2/2 The answer came to me later once I had finally arrived back home.

The US company can sell at such prices for any number of reasons.

No universal healthcare in the US.

Minimal social security.

An economy where prices are driven down in general by many people experiencing job insecurity, long hours and low wages.

No universal daycare provision.

A transport system based on cheap fossil fuels and high CO2 emmisions.

And so on.

It's not rocket science.

I love this sticker, which I spotted during a hike in the Oberes Donautal.

Not easy to describe this sticker for english speaking people: The text beneath means "Save the climate. Fight capitalism." Above is a wordplay: "Kra" and the two whales (german "Wale") equals "Krawale" which means ""Krawalle" which is "Riots" in english... ;)

Population Crisis: Why Economic Growth Makes It Worse

transformatise.com/2026/07/pop…

Economic growth tackles strawman population crisis — but creates two worse ones: ecological overshoot and a looming demographic collapse…

Now that the #bandcamp crisis has revived many discussions about alternative music platforms, I’d like to point you to this article of mine, which is just as relevant today as it was a year ago, and which you are welcome to boost if you like.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the world needs an infrastructure built around discovering arts first (unbiased by marketing and manipulation) and selling arts second.

If you are using Storj for S3 Storage, now it's the time to opt-out. Otherwise you will be charged USD 50 instead of USD 5 on the minimal plan.

If the cleverest people on the planet, academics, can't make #capitalism work by asking nicely .. what hope is there for the rest of us.


If you think I'm exaggerating, think about it.

What is the incentive for a private company to fulfil every detail of the contract?

Only your monitoring. If nobody can tell whether they have done what you paid them to do, then it is economically rational not to do it. Avoiding that expense goes straight to the company's annual profit.

Hey private enterprise enthusiasts. You believe that the public sector can save money by handing over utilities to companies, which are inherently more efficient.

Here's why this doesn't work.

You have to pay someone to monitor the private companies. Because they have no incentive to deliver what they promised. They always cut corners in the name of profit. And that monitoring eats the savings you hoped for. While you have no control over your utilities.

What happens when a global company uses free software but doesn't understand the principle behind it?

The world's #knowledge belongs to humanity, and digital devices should belong to their owners, not to Big Tech.

Android is not free Software!

Dear Jeff B.,
without moneyhungry, capitalistic assholes and corporations that take all of the ressourcrs to gain profit, we wouldn' t have a resource problem in the first place.

Sincerily

Edit: read paren post for update in source! Bezos was quoted wring, but the corrected version is still problematic.
Shortened my response accordingly.

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

“My fear is that W Social is just another for-profit Big Tech startup that happens to be based in the EU. We don’t need that. We don’t need more European surveillance capitalists and people farmers. We need ethical alternatives working for the common good.”

– Yours truly, in @_elena’s excellent exposé on W Social.

Do read the article to the end, especially noting the bit about the composition of their board of advisors, which includes an ex-Google AI lead and an ex-Paypal Chief [Violate Your] Privacy Officer who now works at Tools for Humanity (Sam Altman’s “Sci-fi dystopia? Hold my beer…” identity farming startup that wants to scan your eyeballs).

I deleted my Twitter account with disdain once Musk took it over. But I've joined up here just now because of this book by @pluralistic

It helped explain a lot about the internet's history and it's enshittified present, but in a way accessible to someone like me without a lot of technical knowledge. An important contribution to making sense of a nonsensical world.

New modeling from The Lancet suggests the USAID funding cuts will kill 14 million people.

Many of them are children.

600,000 have already died.

The man who gutted the program?

Elon Musk. The world’s first trillionaire.

He has a trillionaire dollars and is murdering the poorest people on earth.

He should be in jail.

Billionaires and trillionaires should not exist in a world where millions die from poverty every year.

The world is heading toward the greatest economic crisis of all time. On the one hand, because of Trump’s idiotic war that is blocking the Strait of Hormuz; on the other, because the economy is evaluated solely on the basis of growth. Endless economic growth is the philosophy of a cancer cell. The common good, environmental destruction, and population decline are not factored in at all. This can only lead to a crisis that keeps getting worse.

Its the model of #capitalism, especially in the last 20 or so years. Privatize gains and socialize losses. Leverage public money for private gain

I don't think the corporations, governments & billionaires are going to solve this for us. We have to get way, way pickier & willing to go without the products & services we *used* to love.
