A lot of my personal political project right now is trying to re-materialise tech which has been delibarately obfuscated so we can be sold more shit faster with greater surveillance. Spotify was fascinating to break down and think about the bits that make it up. I'm happy to now be rid of it tho!

Consensus decision making sucks Oscar Wilde once wrote that “the problem with socialism is that it takes up too many evenings”. Possibly there is no greater culprit for these lost evenings than the scourge of consensus decision maki...

starting to realise vibe coding is unironically a form of gambling where if you just put your chips (ai usage tokens) on the right numbers (enter the right prompt) you too can win a passive income saas

anyway gonna sticky this and keep my account open for now so people i meet at things can DM me / find me / tag me but won't be very responsive going forwards and do DM me if you want to get on genuinely community owned social media

ultimately bsky tried to fill that x/twitter gap but the problem is neither site really has any reason to exist and this is just another silicon valley megapp that prob gets enshittified the moment it gets any real use

yes mastodon/fedi kinda sucks but i promise you the culture there is just better

think im gonna take a break from bsky for no other reason than aside from the incoming real life id policy that will gut the site it commits the worst social media sin: its boring

i would love to follow more of you on mastodon @kim@social.gfsc.studio and would love to help more of u get on there

and they are freqently telling us now "we will punish anyone who stands in our way" #glastonbury

we're in this era of the genocide that's not a genocide and women who aren't women and economic policy that doesn't consider climate change its just all gone off the rails because capital is the only thing that controls decision making and the people with all of it are bad people

if one thing has been abundantly demonstrated the last few years its power does what it wants and any indication to the contrary (i.e. north european democratic institutions) is an optical illusion when the thing power wants lines up with whats best for the institions too

i don't know who needs to hear this but if you're in a community/activist group that doesnt pay, is not fun, and you don't directly need it for survival, then you're almost certainly a source of burnout for you and your community

how have they managed to gentrify drinking on the street and make it _worse_, unreal

This is supposedly the current best possible gender service in at a GP people specifically sign up to because it's the most trans inclusive, and my nurse was trans I think.

I know the NHS is on the struggle bus but fucking hell
